Cellphone footage made public on Friday captures the tense moments leading up to the tragic shooting of a Minneapolis woman by a federal agent. This incident comes amid rising tensions surrounding the Trump administration’s intensified efforts to curb illegal immigration in the city.
The video release follows the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, which occurred two days prior. According to reports, Good was shot as she allegedly drove her car towards the officers.
The footage, recorded from an ICE agent’s perspective, shows Good’s Honda Pilot obstructing a residential street. The vehicle appears to be blocking the flow of traffic.
In the video, Good can be heard addressing the agent, saying, “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad.”

The video proceeds to show an agent inspecting the license plate of Good’s vehicle. Shortly thereafter, another agent approaches the driver’s side, demanding that Good exit the vehicle.
“Get out of the car. Get out of the f—— car,” the agent says.
Good then backs up the vehicle before moving it forward toward the agent wearing the body camera. He is heard saying “whoa” before shots ring out.

Good’s vehicle then crashes into a parked car.
The circumstances that led to her death have ignited a firestorm of criticism of the Trump administration and the condemnation of the ICE agents’ actions.
Federal officials have said the agents acted in self-defense and labeled the incident an act of domestic terrorism, while Democratic officials have rejected the self-defense assertion.

The agent who opened fire was dragged and injured by a fleeing driver in a separate incident last year, officials said.
He was recovering from Wednesday’s incident, officials said this week. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, however, downplayed the agent’s injuries.
“The ICE agent walked away with a hip injury that he might as well have gotten from closing a refrigerator door with his hips,” he told reporters Friday. “Give me a break. No, he was not ran over. He walked out of there with a hop in his step.”
Authorities have said Good had been following and harassing federal officers earlier that day.
She also worked as a Minneapolis-based immigration activist serving as a member of “ICE Watch,” federal sources told Fox News.
Homeland Security sources told Fox News the group aims to monitor, track, interfere and oppose ongoing federal immigration enforcement operations. The group is present in multiple sanctuary cities across the country.
