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

[SouthAussie]

He didn’t let go of the inside of the vehicle/the occupant after he smashed the window, reached into the vehicle to try to unlock the car, and the occupant started driving away. He received some pretty gnarly cuts to his wrists from the window he shattered, from what I read. I’ll try to find it.

ETA: “The agent got his arm stuck in the window of a vehicle of a driver who was fleeing arrest on an immigration violation, and was dragged roughly 100 yards down a street before he was knocked free. During the incident, the agent fired his Taser and prongs struck the driver but did not incapacitate him, according to prosecutors….

The officer’s right arm was bleeding, and an FBI agent applied a tourniquet. Eventually, he was transported to a hospital, where he received more than 50 stitches. Prosecutors said he had “suffered multiple large cuts, and abrasions to his knee, elbow, and face.“

Federal court documents show the agent who shot Good was seriously injured in a prior incident in June in which he used force against the driver of another moving vehicle in Bloomington, Minnesota.

The Star Tribune (linked earlier where they named Jonathan Ross) said he had 20 stitches in his arm, following the previous incident where he was dragged.

ETA: This Guardian article says 33 stitches in total.

I suspect more incidences involving Ross will come out. He is a hammer and sees everyone as a nail. JMO.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.

“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.
(…)
It was through her involvement in the school community that Good became involved in “ICE Watch” — a loose coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in the sanctuary city.

Thanks. Shows clearly he was not in front of the car, but rather to the side on all 3 shots. And her wheels were turned to the right the entire time. JMO

When a federal agent tells you to get out of your car and instead of obeying the officers commands you take off hitting an officer in the process. That’s a dangerous situation being escalated.

Saying that out loud doesn’t make someone hateful. It makes them honest.

IMO I don’t think she intentionally ran into him or wanted to run him over. The event was chaotic and it happened very quickly. From what I’ve seen so far I don’t think the shooting was justified. However, I don’t know all the details. I think it was a very unfortunate situation that should have been handled by both parties differently.

Minnesota, (especially Minneapolis) hasn’t been the same since Floyd, the riots and Covid.

Most people will say it’s best to stay quiet—or you’ll be labeled the problem. That isn’t justice. And it isn’t truth.


Minnesota deserves better.

America deserves honesty.

Sounds like Good was a great mother and a great American citizen. We all should be so concerned and active fighting for justice and equality for all, and fighting corruption. Just like the founding fathers would urge and hope for from citizens. JMO

Excellent breakdown by CNN. I was looking around for a video showing how the agent/shooter got in the front of the car in the first place. Didn’t see that one yet.

Her rear passenger window was rolled down the whole time. (it's cold out, but she's likely blowing a whistle yesterday.) He's barking instructions thru that window I guess, prolly move along. More guessing, he figures the plan suddenly changed cuz of pickup truck crew's chaos, and he brain-cramps as if his body should be positioned as if it were a barrier.

Our country would be a better place if all citizens were as involved.

The mayor of Minneapolis himself said that he and the people don’t want or need ICE agents to occupy their city. They had no place in their community. Implying that Good was some kind of radical instead of one more person who represented the will of the majority of people in Minneapolis is disingenuous.

Witnesses say some agents were telling her to move out of the way.

“Some of them were leaving, and they just went around her, but ICE gave her orders to leave, while at the same time, another ICE person said, ‘Get out of the car,’ and he reached for her door handle. And then there was an ICE agent in front of her vehicle. So it was difficult for her to leave, as she'd been ordered to do,” Callenson said.

All of which were protected rights under the US Constitution and not a reason to disparage or murder her.

Let's PRETEND she disobeyed ICE and tried to drive away, is ICE within the law to shoot at and kill a fleeing person? Is fleeing from police a death sentence offense? No. No it's not. That's the bottom line. We don't even need to debate this anymore. JMO

Exactly. SO many Americans think this was OK. Those if us observing from other countries are terrified for what is ahead for the USA because when the rule of law and due process are ignored at the highest levels, you don't have a democracy.

Maybe so.

It shows she wasn’t just pulling out of a driveway or some such thing. imo

Ya know what folks ? Dissension and bickering, personalizing, insulting and ridiculing others is not allowed.

And nobody wants to be the one responsible for getting a thread shut down.

I don't understand. How does her being politically active change anything?

No it doesn't. Nothing about what happened has changed. She was murdered by an ICE agent unjustly. Nothing about her actions justified being put to death by ICE. NOTHING. That's why MN will pursue legal action against the ICE agent because it was unjustified homicide. Not that convicting him will bring a mother back to her children. JMO
