ICE agent kills Renee Good in Minneapolis; protests and fears follow

According to Time, an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good at 34th and Portland in Minneapolis, a little over half a mile from the site where George Floyd was killed in 2020.

The account says Good was a poet and a mother and that her wife witnessed the shooting; video of the incident has circulated. Hours later, ICE agents allegedly detained a teacher outside Roosevelt High School shortly after classes ended and used tear gas, and public schools shifted to remote learning for student safety. The piece also describes broader fear in Minnesota as masked, armed agents detain people — the majority said to be Black, Muslim, Latinx, and Asian — and reports of Native American citizens having tribal IDs unrecognized by ICE.

The essay places the Minneapolis killing alongside other incidents nationwide, saying an off-duty ICE agent shot and killed Anthony Porter in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve and that over 30 people have died in ICE custody across the country. It reports that thousands gathered at Powderhorn Park on Jan. 10, 2026 to protest ICE’s presence, and the writer expresses hope that collective action and solidarity will close the distance between communities.
