Anti-ICE protesters are clashing with police this morning in Minnesota in the wake of a federal agent shooting and killing Renee Nicole Good.
Good, 37, was shot in the head three times while inside her SUV on Wednesday, sparking mass protests in the streets and outrage from Minnesota lawmakers.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed the shooting was an act of self-defense, but the city’s Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey has blasted ICE’s characterization of the shooting and told them to ‘get the f**k out of Minneapolis.’
‘They are already trying to spin this as an act of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bull****,’ he said.
DHS has deployed more than 2,000 officers to the area in what it says is its largest-ever immigration enforcement operation.
Vice President JD Vance called on ICE agents to ‘work even harder’ in the wake of the shooting.
‘To the radicals assaulting them, doxxing them, and threatening them: congratulations, we’re going to work even harder to enforce the law,’ he wrote on X.
