US ICE Agent shoots woman during crackdown In Minneapolis

In US, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer opened fire on the woman while she was inside her vehicle in Minneapolis on Wednesday, according to the department of homeland security.A shooting that federal officials claimed was an act of self-defense but that the city's mayor described as “reckless” and unnecessary.The woman shot dead by ICE agents was identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a resident of the Twin Cities. Federal officials said the officer fired in self-defence during an encounter with a motorist who allegedly tried to run them over.

US President Donald Trump defended the ICE officer involved in the shooting, claiming the woman had deliberately targeted federal agents. Sharing a video clip, Trump said the driver had "violently, wilfully, and viciously" run over the officer, who he said fired in self-defence. He also described another woman heard screaming in the footage as a "professional agitator". "Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital," Trump falsely claimed, referring to the officer.United States Secretary of Homeland Security,Kristi Noem says woman killed had been 'STALKING, IMPEDING' work of ICE all day. She 'REFUSED to obey their commands, WEAPONIZED her vehicle.

The shooting marks a dramatic escalation of a series of immigration enforcement operations in major U.S. cities under the Trump administration. The killing was at least the fifth linked to immigration crackdowns in a handful of states since 2024.
