Federal agents shot and killed a woman during a large-scale immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

Ilhan Omar, the Democratic Minnesota congresswoman, said the victim was “a legal observer” of action by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which had sent a surge of agents into the city in recent days tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents.

A witness to the incident, Emily Heller, told local media that the victim was shot in the face multiple times. Heller said she saw a car blocking traffic that appeared to be part of a protest against the ICE operation, and heard an agent telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here”.

Trump has a new justification for the shooting of Renee Good: disrespect

Several attorneys in the US justice department’s civil rights division have reportedly resigned in protest at a decision not to investigate the fatal shooting of an unarmed US citizen by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis – while the FBI presses ahead with an inquiry into the victim.

Leadership in the Civil Rights Division, overseen by Harmeet Dhillon, informed staff in the division's criminal section that there would not be an investigation, two sources said. Normally, after a high-profile incident involving a fatal shooting by an officer, attorneys from the criminal section fly out to the scene. Multiple career prosecutors offered to do so in this case, but they were told not to do so, one of the sources added.

Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned on Tuesday over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent and the department’s reluctance to investigate the shooter, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

Joseph H. Thompson, who was second in command at the U.S. attorney’s office and oversaw a sprawling fraud investigation that has roiled Minnesota’s political landscape, was among those who quit on Tuesday, according to three people with knowledge of the decision.

Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior Justice Department officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday

...
The Minneapolis police chief, Brian O’Hara, said in an interview that Mr. Thompson’s resignation dealt a major blow to efforts to root out rampant theft from state agencies. The fraud cases, which involve schemes to cheat safety net programs, were the chief reason the Trump administration cited for its immigration crackdown in the state. The vast majority of defendants charged in the cases are American citizens of Somali origin.

Joseph H. Thompson, a career federal prosecutor who was the acting U.S. attorney for Minnesota last year, was among those who resigned as the Justice Department sought to examine the woman’s supposed ties to activist groups.

No evidence for Renee Nicole Good’s alleged ‘criminal record’ sheet​

​

Lucy Gilder
BBC Verify journalist

An image claiming to show that the woman shot and killed by a US immigration officer last week had an extensive criminal record has been widely shared on social media.

It lists offences for which Renee Nicole Good had supposedly been arrested in the past, including “battery of a police officer” and “interfering with medical treatment”.

But there are several incorrect details in the image, including her supposed date of birth. US authorities say Good was 37 years old , externalwhen she was killed, external and therefore could not have been born in October 1980, as the image claims.

Image source,Renee Nicole Good
Also, her name and middle name are the wrong way round. The image lists her as “Good, Nicole Renee”.

And there’s no publicly available evidence that she committed, or was even accused of committing, the crimes it lists.

BBC Verify searched US public records databases for the name “Renee Nicole Good” and three other surnames she is reported to have previously used, “Ganger”, “Sheppard” and “Macklin”.

We found a profile for someone that included all of those names and other details matching what we know about Good, such as her approximate year of birth and places she has lived.

It lists one offence, “fail to have vehicle inspected”, allegedly committed in Virginia in 2017.

We searched another database of US court records and only found a 2019 filing in Virginia for a bankruptcy case involving a person called Renee Nicole Good.

1. ICE agents seen using pepper spray on protesters

   A video we verified posted online from Minneapolis yesterday shows an agent deploy what appears to be pepper spray at a protester.
   
   Protesters are heard shouting “get out of here” and “shame on you” as agents drive down a residential street. One agent is then seen deploying what appears to be pepper spray in the face of a man who is shouting at him.
   
   The man who been sprayed says “I need help” as the agent gets into an unmarked car and drives away. This is a tactic which has been seen elsewhere in the city in recent days.

2. Examining ICE tactics used on Minneapolis protesters following Renee Good shooting

   Protests have continued in Minneapolis since Renee Good, 37, was shot dead by an immigration agent in the city nearly a week ago.
   
   Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are still operating in the city despite mayor Jacob Frey asking the organisation to leave. The state of Minnesota is also suing the Trump administration in an attempt to block the surge of immigration agents across the state.
   
   We’ve verified a video posted online yesterday that appears to show ICE agents using tear gas on protesters.
   
   In the footage, 10 agents walk towards a crowd of protesters. There's then a loud bang and we see smoke rising. The protesters shout “Go, go, go” and “Get out of here” at the agents, who then walk away from the crowds.
   
   This is a tactic we’ve seen agents previously use in other US cities, as BBC Verify’s special investigation into ICE last year showed.
   
   “It’s an indiscriminate weapon," Dr Rohini Haar, an expert in tear gas explained. “So you can’t really target that towards an individuals that’s posing a threat or are causing harm. It will hit everyone in the area.”
   
   The Trump administration has called protesters “professional agitators” and say they are interfering with their immigration enforcement operations.
