A new video circulating on social platforms has put a human face on one of the bleakest headlines of the young year: an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in south Minneapolis this week.
In footage shared widely on Threads and other social platforms, a distraught woman sits in the snow with her dog, trembling and crying: “They killed my wife. They shot her in the head… We stopped to videotape…” Her voice cracks as she describes the moment federal agents opened fire during what the Department of Homeland Security has called a major immigration enforcement surge in the city.
Now there is new footage of Good flagging on ICE agents to go in front of her, to drive past her so she could then move on.

Though authorities have yet to release the full identity of the victim publicly in official statements, social media posts — including one from Threads user @swagrman — identify her as Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old writer, poet, wife, and mother. Her bio described her as “a wife and mom and sh-tty guitar strummer from Colorado,” complete with a pride flag emoji — a portrait that has resonated deeply with many online.
Good was fatally shot during the Wednesday morning operation near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue. Federal officials have claimed the agent acted in self-defense, alleging that her vehicle was weaponized against officers — language that includes describing the scene as an act of domestic terrorism.

If you can stand it, here is Noem responding to the incident.
He was treated at a locak hospital for what? Mental trauma for killing an innocent woman?
The video evidence tells a story that many are finding impossible to reconcile with that Noem narrative. Clips show the woman’s SUV attempting to leave the scene when three shots ring out, followed by chaos and panic — a stark contradiction to the government’s framing.
LGBTQ+ activists and allied leaders have sharply criticized the federal response, noting how often marginalized people — including queer immigrants and their families — bear the brunt of aggressive enforcement actions. Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson called the fatal shooting a “brutal reminder that this agency and the current administration’s policies put every community at risk,” and underscored the need for accountability.
ICE “Get the FUCK OUT”
Local officials have also expressed outrage. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey demanded that ICE “get the f*** out of Minneapolis,” while Minnesota Governor Tim Walz reiterated calls for a full, independent investigation.
Whether you saw the clips on Threads, Twitter, or shared through chat threads, what’s clear is this: behind every headline is a person whose life, love, and legacy extend far beyond the moment of tragedy.
I don’t agree with the immigration raids going on at the moment! Trump is a racist and is really going overboard! If someone is here illegally and that is the only crime they committed they should be given a chance to obtain citizenship without fear of getting deported for showing at an immigration hearing! These people only want to make a better life for their families and most of them go to work do not bother anyone they go home and stay there and contribute to our economy by shopping and eating in our restaurants they do jobs most other people are too lazy to do there is no reason for these people to live in fear on a day to day basis! The ones who have committed crimes these people are the ones that need to go! Please do something to stop this madness and help our immigrants by finding a way the for people that are already here can find a way to become citizens of this beautiful country they help make America a great place to life after all we are ALL immigrants. We do need to close the border so more people can come in illegally but give the ones that are already here a fair chance to become American citizens so they can live freely and become contributors to our society. Trump hates anyone who is not rich and white and he despises gay people!
This event will cause more outrage, more protest. trump will see this as a threat. he will send more ice agents, chaos will ensue. because of destabilization, trump will declare martial law, because he knows he will not win and will be tried and persecuted when democrats win. he wants to extend his reign, he will want to overreach his rule to other countries.
We are now living in dark times
