Minneapolis was rocked by protests Thursday following the shooting death of Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37-year-old woman, by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer. The incident is linked to the Trump administration’s intensified immigration enforcement efforts, which have deployed thousands of officers across the country, resulting in over 1,500 arrests thus far.
Eyewitness videos captured the moment when the shooting occurred, showing an officer approaching Macklin Good's vehicle as she attempted to drive away. The community has since rallied, with hundreds attending a vigil in her honor, chanting demands for ICE to withdraw from Minnesota. Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have voiced public outrage, with the governor warning that he may need to deploy the National Guard amid rising tensions.
While officials claim the officer acted defensively, considerable backlash against ICE's presence in Minnesota continues to grow, reflecting broader social and political debates surrounding immigration policies and law enforcement practices in the U.S.
