It had to happen; in Minneapolis a woman in a car was shouting at the multiple ICE agents. One tried to open her car door, she started to drive away and was shot 2 (3? 4?) times in the head.

Trump is blaming her. Fucking hell.

EDIT BY MNHQ - Though the footage of this incident is in the public domain, we have removed the link originally included in this thread as we believe it could cause distress.

Can someone pls tell me a bit more about ICE, what’s their history? Obv I can google it but ppl here seem to have strong conviction

They were set up after 9/11, as part of a homeland security act.

It’s their tactics that cause the most controversy. Wearing masks/balaclavas, plain clothes, unmarked cars.

The poster upthread blaming the woman - I wouldn’t get out of the car if masked men with guns started yanking at my door handles yelling “get out the fucking car”.

As an aside, please can Jacob Frey stand for president. I haven't been so awed by a speech since the Obama days.

Ihavelostthegame · 07/01/2026 22:22

They would be better off just stopping. Stop everything. Don’t go to work, don’t go shopping, don’t go out. Everyone just stop.
The whole thing will fall apart if everyone stops everything. No violence just withdrawal

Pillypolly · 07/01/2026 22:22

I can’t get my head around what is happening in America and where will this end?

The shooter - who was NOT a police officer, fired into her face through the driver window. Watch the footage and stop twisting the truth. Shame on you.

Yes but also Tim Walz. Between the two, they could do great things.

Martymcfly24 · 07/01/2026 22:25

The video clearly shows she was driving away from not at ICE agents (not police they are goons with guns)

Trump's statement is absolutely off the wall. Total and utter lies about the agent that walked away "recovering in hospital." She was also called a domestic terrorist .

LeonMccogh · 07/01/2026 22:26

Anyone else slightly surprised to find the woman was white?

EchoesOfOurDreams · 07/01/2026 22:30

Wtf is going on with the yanks these days? Bunch of fucking mad bastards.

His statement is beyond belief (or it would be from anyone else).

Calling her a “obviously a professional agitator” and, talking about the agent, that it’s “hard to believe he is alive”. Hard to believe someone that was not hit by a car and then walked away is alive??

Totally.

He shot her from the side.

There are many white allies trying to stop ICE from kidnapping their neighbours. She was in the way of the jackbooted thugs and paid the ultimate price.

Unfortunately Minneapolis, Minnesota and all Americans are going to have to decide if she becomes another Rosa Parks or another Archduke Ferdinand. Because if it explodes and Trump has an excuse, all hell could break out.

Sorry OP, we just wanted to flag that we have removed the link to the video as it is quite distressing. We have edited your opening post to reflect this.

And kristi Noem too fed the public the same lies. Not even massaging the truth but just plain lies.

dapsnotplimsolls · 07/01/2026 22:42

I've seen a slo-mo video that clearly shows the angle of her tyres - she was trying to drive away from them, she wasn't driving at him. As a PP said, he moved in front of the car and then shot her. Bollocks it was self-defence.

Babyboomtastic · 07/01/2026 22:42

So HLS are saying that her vehicle had blocked ICE in, as they were driving to a mass deport.

Then when she did move her vehicle they murdered her.

NewLimeFish · 07/01/2026 22:47

there's a longer video I've seen, where the woman is in the middle of the road, in her car and it looks like she's turning, judging by the position of her wheels. An unrelated car approaches, and goes around the front of her car, as she's trying to turn, and then the ICE car shows up, blue lights flashing. They get out and start shouting at her to 'get out of the fucking car' and grabbing her car door handle, and she starts shouting, 'no, no', then turns the wheel, away from them, as if she's trying to get away, then the ICE agent shoots her.

The man who shoots her then walks away, calmy, not limping, no signs of distress or injury from him, no sense of him feeling scared for his life.

If you look at the bullet-hole in the windscreen, it's placed low, and at the side of the windscreen, so it appears that the agent shot her as she was turning.

Donald Trump is posting on X, saying that it was domestic terrorism, she was an angry protester, the agent was injured, was in hospital, victim tried to run him down, etc: all blatant lies, as far as I can see.

ICE agents are NOT police. They are federal agents who supposedly enforce the law pertaining to immigration, customs and national security issues. Yes, they can tell her to stop, etc, and force her out of the car, if they want to, and yes, if the 'agents' of any department in the USA tell you to stop and get out the car, you do, because the alternative is being shot. It looks like an unjustifiable murder to me, this.

lifeonmars100 · 07/01/2026 22:52

Oh America, how has it come to this? when I was young I spent three very happy months on the East Coast, some time in Boston and then the rest in New York and my heart breaks to see the horrors that are unfolding there now. I feel real fear about what the World Cup is going to bring, the country is on a knife edge.

Goldshelfie · 07/01/2026 22:53

She knew they were ICE, they told her to get out of the car and she refused and drove towards one of them. He had a split second to react, I do think she was trying to get away but she drove right at him and clipped him, there are videos on X. The first bullet goes through the windscreen so he was in front of the car. It is sad but I don’t know what she expected to happen, she should have obeyed them, they are federal law enforcement.

DuncinToffee · 07/01/2026 22:53

The masked ICE agent was seen fleeing from the scene in a car a couple of minutes after the shooting.

There is a video of it

AutumnTheCrow · 07/01/2026 22:54

Her name was Renee Nicole Good, the Times is reporting tonight.

justasking111 · 07/01/2026 22:54

DH follows some USA police video footage on Instagram. He shows me them sometimes. You never drive away. Just freeze and do exactly as they say. It's not just Ice and to me it's frightening. And that's the police in some states.

Absolute bullshit. We can all see with our own eyes what happened - Trump supporters will believe anything that prick says. Jesus Christ.

Goldshelfie · 07/01/2026 22:54

I do agree though that Trump is massively exaggerating, which doesn’t help, the facts as they are provide a defence for the ICE agent IMO.
