MN -- woman shot in face and killed by ICE, Minneapolis, 7 Jan 2026

[AkitasAreLovely]

Why does ICE have to be so hostile and aggressive? They're on a residential street. They were not in danger. That pick-up truck was NOT stuck in the snow. They had every ability to turn around and leave the situation. It is not right for their first instinct to be screaming and running up to someone with their weapons drawn.

This woman did not have to be shot. There were ways to defuse the situation. Alternatively, they could've simply allowed her to leave without screaming at her and surrounding her with their weapons drawn.

Because ICE has literally no formal training, plus they're hiring open Nazis. All the evidence from how ICE acted and escalated situations as Trump's personal secret police without accountability in the months prior demonstrates that this murder was inevitable.

 

[Stunned]

They are shouting contradictory orders - leave, get out of the vehicle - a guy approaches from her left and tries to yank open the door, meanwhile the other guy has circled around from the right and ends up on her front left. She obviously is trying to get away from the guy trying to open her door so she cranks the wheel hard right and guns it. She likely was terrified and never knew the other guy was there. And he blew her away.

But he'll probably walk, scott free

No way Noem is handing that ICE murderer over to the State of Minnesota. IMO

She was blocking the road, i heard “ get out of the car” then she sped off in the direction if the ice agent.


Jmo

some of y’all need your eyes checked if you seriously think she was driving in the direction of the agent! Her wheels even tell a different story than the one you’re trying to concoct

Was she actively blocking the road or did she pull out of a driveway and got scared by the agents flying down a neighborhood street at unsafe speeds, and was indecisive about whether she should back-up, continue forward so she could get out of the way, or get out of the car???? These ICE cars and trucks are unmarked. She has multiple people with masks on their face and guns yelling contradicting orders at her with one reaching inside of her car. All this happening in the course of a minute. They didn't need to shoot her in the face regardless.

Even IF she was protesting she didn't deserve to be killed by them. ICE is not judge, jury and executioner!!! And then the shooter leaving immediately from the scene and agents preventing any kind of rescue or help is inexcusable. There needs to be accountability and the lawsuits are going to be large. This can't be happening on our streets and neighborhoods. I'm all for leagl immigration control but if this is the way it's being done, by officers this unprofessional, then this is NOT the way to go about it.

That person videotaping and yelling is Bravery in Action!

 

[Elley Mae]

Where are you seeing she “sped off”? She doesn’t accelerate her car until after she gets shot 4 times in the face, which at that point, no longer has control of her car and the car basically goes down the street a few hundred feet before crashing. Since she was dying at that point.

I very clearly see an officer in front of the vehicle as the woman very rapidly accelerates into a turn and the camera angle changes. In the two incidents that I cited, the accelerations towards the officers were far slower.

The above aside, I don't think the woman was trying to run over the officer. Rather, I firmly believe that she would have continued to turn, then drove away once she had completed the turn (and cleared the officer).

In the end I think the shooting was "justifiable" in the technical legal sense but not truly justified ethically.

The officer should have noted that the vehicle was tightly turning away from him (while also moving towards him). At the same time, the officer cannot read minds and did not know her true intent.

@Cryptic

The truth is, if I, a woman in a car, find my way being blocked by young man with guns, giving me conflicting orders, I’d panic. Probably drop the wheel and cry. I won’t drive well, either. It is not the most productive way to respond, but the reality is, the presence of ICE on the streets, one more group with guns drawn, who are scared themselves, is destabilizing the community. This is the big picture.

The smaller picture: an untrained impulsive idiot killed a woman, a US citizen, for no reason. There is no other way to view it. Sorry.

And why do things always happen in Minnesota?

SCOTUS just ruled on Barnes v Felix and rejected the ‘moment of threat’ doctrine. ‘Moment of threat’ used to only take into consideration the moment the officer perceived danger. SCOTUS’ rejection means excessive force claims must be judged by the ‘totality of the circumstances’, meaning courts must consider all events leading up to the use of force, and not just the moment of the perceived threat.

In other words, if an officer steps towards a moving vehicle and places himself in the path, he cannot then claim he has justification to shoot in the ‘moment of danger’, as he created the moment of danger.

He didn’t step in the path, she backed up to get around and headed straight towards him, i would have shot too.

Noem said there was bad weather and an ICE vehicle was stuck, but the road and skies look clear in the videos. Was a vehicle stuck?

She says ICE agents conducting an operation got stuck in the snow and were attempting to push out their vehicle when a woman attacked them.

Kristi Noem calls actions leading up to ICE shooting ‘an act of domestic terrorism’

A woman is dead after being shot by a federal agent during an ICE operation Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis. Kristi Noem, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, called the woman's actions leading up to the shooting "an act of domestic terrorism."

Funny how fast their vehicle came unstuck when a murderer drove off in it at speed Ms. Noem
Pull the other one, its got bells on!

He draws his weapon while she’s in reverse.

ETA: if he thought she may hit him, he had plenty of time to move to the right. Instead he draws his gun while taking a step towards the vehicle.

Minneapolis ICE Shooting Video: Agent Seen Firing Through Car Window During Arrest Attempt

Minneapolis ICE shooting video shows a woman fatally shot in her car near 34th & Portland during a major federal immigration raid, as ICE cites a “vehicle ramming” and witnesses, Mayor Frey and Gov. Walz demand answers and a local investigation., US News, Times Now

It is a lie to claim she was not allowing anyone to pass.

In the first second of this video, you can see another ICE vehicle pass in front of her car. The pick-up truck could have done the same.

I don’t know how or why there’s such a disparity in the thread of people watching the same videos yet seeing different things. I’ve watched all the videos from every angle (even a slow mo version), I never saw her speed up, accelerate or drive towards an officer until after the first shot was fired directly into her face. At that point, she’s dead/dying/injured and no longer has control of her vehicle. I do agree that is a dangerous situation - which was caused BY the ice officer when he started shooting her.

When I watch the video at your link, I see the officer literally continuing to walk/jog next to her car after he fires the first shot and fire 3 more shots directly into her drivers side window. There was absolutely zero justification or need for him to fire 1 shot, much less 4.

The FBI said this afternoon that it is investigating today’s fatal shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

“Consistent with our investigative protocol, the incident is under review, and we are working closely with our law enforcement partners,” the agency said in a statement...


ICE officers are trained to never approach a vehicle from the front and instead to approach in a “tactical L” 90-degree angle to prevent injury or cross-fire, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told NBC News.

Officers are also instructed not to shoot at a moving vehicle and only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death, the official said.

ICE officers are also instructed that firing at a vehicle will not make it stop moving in the direction of the officer.

“Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old woman fatally shot by an ICE agent on Wednesday morning, had a young son whose father died in 2023, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.

“There’s nobody else in his life,” Timmy Ray Macklin Sr., the boy’s grandfather, told the paper. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come get my grandchild.””

That’s genuinely so heartbreaking. This was so unnecessary and awful.

 

[Charlot123]

I just hate that being incredibly aggressive, hostile and antagonistic is encouraged for them. Unhappy with protesters? Find a way around her. Turn around. Go a different way. They obviously terrified her, running up to her 5 to 1 with their weapons drawn and screaming. She was attempting to leave as they asked, not intentionally trying to run anyone over. The one agent was to the side of the grill as she was turning away, not in danger of being mowed down.

It's just incomprehensible.

Whether happy or not, protesters are not ICE target group, even. Protesters are usually US citizens, they are not afraid. (Unless ICE illegally detains someone in the Hispanic community, then there may be a local protest, but they usually use lawyers.)

But in general, protesters are the group the police is handling. And nowadays, police has learned not to create havoc.

ICE created havoc, and they need to learn how to diffuse such situations. Now they are in a bad, bad spot. You can hardly imagine worse advertising for them. Killing a US citizen, a 30+-year-old woman, and not a minority. And it doesn’t matter what she did wrong or where she turned. What matters is how it looks to the country.

 

[Aurora90]

I have seen comments online that this shooting occurred less than a mile from where George Floyd was killed in 2020. Are there any MSM sources that confirm this?

With the obvious video footage, and the statements from both Kristi Noem & Donald Trump, tensions are going to rise tonight.

The next few hours are crucial. The city of Minneapolis might be in for a long night.

 

[kuromiiiilove]

A thought, deadly force has to be reasonable at the time *each* shot is fired. Absolutely 0 need to triple tap as he’s alongside the vehicle. JMO

ETA: maybe it’s better said, officers must constantly reassess the situation to determine if use of force is reasonable, and force must stop once the threat subsides.

Oh no. What a tragedy. My heart goes out to Grandpa and the boy.
