Fatal Minneapolis shooting raises tension against ICE

A woman in Minneapolis was fatally shot by an ICE agent on Wednesday. The incident led to calls from protestors and politicians for the agents to leave.

The backstory:

An ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning.

According to a FOX 9 report, a woman got into a vehicle and there was one ICE agent on either side of the vehicle trying to get in, and a third ICE agent came and tried to yank on the driver's side door. One of the agents on the driver's side door backed away, and then opened fire, shooting three times through the driver's side window, witnesses said.

The shooting led to national anti-ICE protests and calls from local leaders for ICE agents to leave Minneapolis.

Federal officials are siding with ICE, saying the shooting was self-defense. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the incident leading up to the shooting was "an act of domestic terrorism."
