The Minneapolis City Council identified the woman killed by a federal agent Wednesday as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, local media outlets reported.
Good was fatally shot by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent carrying out an enforcement operation Wednesday, prompting angry reactions from Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. Minneapolis officials told CBS News Minnesota that Good was a legal observer monitoring federal law enforcement.
“This morning an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a member of our community. Renee was a resident of our city who was out caring for her neighbors this morning and her life was taken today at the hands of the federal government,” the city council said in a statement obtained by Fox 9. “Anyone who kills someone in our city deserves to be arrested, investigated, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
“To Minnesotans, know that our administration will stop at nothing to seek accountability and justice. The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are working on the investigation,” Walz said during a Wednesday afternoon press conference.
ICE surged into the Minneapolis area following revelations into welfare fraud in Minnesota that federal officials say totals at least $9 billion after Trump announced he would end “Temporary Protected Status” for Somalis in Minneapolis in response to the allegations.
A Dec. 15 ICE operation in Minneapolis was surrounded by protesters, leading to a standoff where agents used paintball guns to try to control the crowd before Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived.
