MINNEAPOLIS, MN - Amidst the ongoing firestorm regarding the recent fatal ICE-related shooting in Minneapolis, newly surfaced video appears to show Renee Nicole Good deliberately blocking Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with her SUV for several minutes just before she was fatally shot.
As reported in a recent article from the New York Post, in the full clip posted to X on Saturday and filmed from an elevated vantage point, Good intentionally parks her vehicle diagonally across a snow-covered street, obstructing at least one lane of traffic. She can then be heard honking her horn continuously while dancing in the driver’s seat while ICE agents approach.
This video shows bystanders yelling and whistling as federal agents slowly approach Good’s SUV, though no agents are seen attempting to break into the vehicle for most of the recording. The clip ends just as the shooting appears to occur, offering only a limited view of the final seconds before the deadly confrontation.
The footage appears to show Good positioning her vehicle in a manner that physically prevented agents from proceeding with their operation, a tactic critics say crossed the line from protest into direct interference.
Federal officials have defended the ICE agent’s actions, saying Good used her vehicle as a weapon and posed a threat that justified the use of deadly force.
Vice President JD Vance has repeatedly defended the ICE agent involved, reposting video of the incident and accusing critics of spreading “media dishonesty” about the event while insisting the officer acted in self-defense. Vance publicly backed the officer accused of fatally shooting Good, saying she violated the law and that the agent “had every reason to fear for his life,” dismissing criticism from Democratic officials who labeled the shooting a murder.
The shooting has sparked protests in Minneapolis and beyond, with critics disputing the federal narrative and calling for further investigation, intensifying the debate over the handling of the operation and the circumstances that led to Good’s death.
The release of additional footage and continued social media posts have kept the controversy alive, with federal officials and local authorities sharply at odds over what actually happened.
Protests over Good’s death have grown both in Minneapolis and across the country. Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched in Minneapolis on Saturday under slogans demanding accountability and an end to ICE operations, with organized rallies planned in cities from Boston to Philadelphia.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who earlier chimed in that ICE needs to “get the f*** out” of his city, described the demonstrations as mostly peaceful but warned that actions that endanger public safety will lead to arrests.
Likewise, Governor Tim Walz, himself embroiled in the ongoing fraud scandal across the state, said in a recent press briefing that, “Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight. We will not take the bait.”
Federal authorities have confirmed that the shooting remains under active investigation, with officials reviewing all available video and witness accounts related to the incident.
While critics of ICE have framed Good as a victim, federal officials have maintained that agents were carrying out a lawful operation and were confronted with a dangerous situation created by an individual who repeatedly obstructed their movement using a vehicle.
