ICE agent shoots woman in the face.

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.

In fairness to MNHQ I imagine this thread is going to keep them busy and that post is minutes old.

I hope it is removed, but the same poster called Renee Good a criminal. I reported it. The post is still there.

I don’t understand how anyone thinks this is reasonable.

If you genuinely think you’re about to be run over surely the sensible thing to do is concentrate on stepping out the way rather than standing there and shooting someone.

If your aim is to stop the vehicle, then shooting someone doesn’t make sense as it’s then likely to go out of control. In the U.K. and any sensible country they would just calmly shoot out the tires and wait.

If your aim is to apprehend a woman then shooting her in the face isn’t going to achieve that. Because she’s dead.

If your aim is to shoot someone in the face and kill them - well then yes this was the correct course of action.

She lifted the agent clean off his feet by driving at him, personally I would regard this as a threat to my life, and I suspect in time a jury will as well.

It's tragic, but she made the wrong call not to comply, same as countless other people do.

She probably lost control somewhat when she was shot in the head though.

Everything will be looked at in a lot of detail.

They had just moved to Minneapolis. Returned home after dropping off her 6 year old at school and saw ICE harrassing their new neighbours and started filming it.

All legal

ICE prevented a doctor attending to her

And it tragically cost her, her life.

Filming agents doing their job is provocative - people should stay out of such things. Whether you agree with what ICE is doing, is academic.

She may be have been more anti-ICE/Trump, than pro-immigrant.

She paid with her life.

America is experiencing the rise of fascism. Trump clearly sees himself as a 'strong man' along with Putin and Xi Jinping and is planning on dividing up the world between the three of them. Won't be long before we see the stars and stripes flying over Westminster (I am only half-joking).

Oh don't be so ridiculous...the UK and the rest of Europe are clearly going to be in the Russian sphere...Trump hates Europe and will want to control South America and the Artic. His soft spot for The Royal Family isn't going to help us.

In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles. In each case, officials have claimed that the agents fired in self-defense, fearing they would be struck by the vehicle.
At least one other person died as a result of those shootings.

The fatal shooting in Franklin Park, Ill., where a federal agent shot and killed a man during a traffic stop in September.

Deadly Minneapolis Encounter Is the 9th ICE Shooting Since September

All those targeted in the shootings were fired on while in their vehicles.

Why is it provocative? If they're just doing their job and complying with the law, they've got nothing to worry about being filmed, have they?

If on the other hand, they're actually abusing their position, then it's not that surprising they're shooting people in the face.

Edited

I think this is a good summary. She was panicked, clearly. Of course she should have stopped and put her hands up, but it's not reasonable for her to be shot in the head.

I think a load of right wing Americans - ironically enough - ended up here through the 'feminism'/gender-critical pages too.

Right wing isn’t a dirty word, and there will be right wing or centre right people who disagree with ICE here (me included)

After watching the videos on X it’s clear that there’s two ICE agents there and the one from the front that she’s driving at shoots not the one that’s on the drivers side of the car.

Look at this frame by frame :

It doesn’t matter if she was protesting.
It doesn’t matter if she didn’t get out of the vehicle when she was asked.
It doesn’t matter if she bumped his leg slightly as she manoevered her vehicle.
It doesn’t matter if she obstructing ICE from doing their jobs.

He should not have shot her.

Murderers get their day in court. She got executed point blank on the street when her only 'crime' was to quietly protest by blocking the way of an ICE vehicle, which by the way she didn't do for long as she tried to exit the situation. And she was unarmed.

Victim blaming much?

Filming them is not a crime.

Are you suggesting people should just look the other way and pretend it isn't happening?

SwissChaletPatriot · 08/01/2026 12:20

No it isn’t. You just don’t like it. That doesn’t make it ‘fucking disgusting’.

You might not agree with my classification of the deceased, but that aside, it is factually accurate. A woman interfered with law enforcement doing their job. She was asked to stop and she didn’t. She was subsequently fatally apprehended and is now dead. That’s it.

Because clearly its a contentious job, and emotions are running high. People film to post on social media.

This is the attitude that I genuinely don't understand. She's not 'resting in power'. She's dead, shot like a dog in the street because she provoked trigger-happy armed enforcers - and now her son is motherless for the rest of his life. He'll miss her every day, and 'resting in power' won't do a damned thing for him.

Meanwhile, ICE will keep operating, doing exactly what it was before, and within a week she'll be forgotten by the majority of people who heard about this incident as the relentless 24hr news cycle grinds on.

It's just so bloody sad and pointless.

So true. What a tragic, pointless loss of life. It won't change anything.

I wouldn’t call blocking with a vehicle a ‘quiet protest’

A quiet protest is silently praying or sitting with a placard.

Has it been verified that she was protesting? DD told me last night she saw an interview with a witness who said the woman lived there and had just reversed out of her driveway. She didn't intentionally block anyone's way and wasn't part of those filming ICE.

Her neighbours were blocked from providing medical care on the scene.

Look at the angle of the bullet, you idiot. It was not head on, it was from the side.

Someone should remove your keyboard before you poke yourself in the eye with it.

Agree
On a US channel last night they did a slow motion of the shooting
You can clearly see the ICE guy moved in front of the drivers side headlights ( as the car was starting to move ) with his gun out. The lady moved the car to the side of him and whilst she did so he was no longer in front of the edge of her car…his position was to the side as he shot her

chocciechocface · 08/01/2026 12:22

One interpretation of the video is the ICE agents were trying to prevent her leaving. At one point she tried to wave them past her, but two get out of their car and approach. The shooter (a third) moves in from a way behind those two to the front of her car, and he only draws his gun when she starts pulling SLOWLY away (with her wheels angled to turn away from him). He shoots when she’s already past him. It’s like they’re treating her as a mass murderer trying to escape the scene of a crime.

America is so fucked up.

It's 11.30 am in the UK, this happened yesterday, they have already reported on it. If you go to GB News I'm sure you'll get your preferred powdered BS 'spin' on it.

I watched the reporting on GB News last night. Aside from the heavy editing the presenter, repeatedly emphasised the victim's surname. She even did air quotes around the Good name.

It was absolutely disgusting.😡

Here's the GB News ticker. It describes Renee Nicole Good as a "violent rioter".
