MINNEAPOLIS (AURN News) — More federal authorities are going to Minneapolis — about a thousand more Customs and Border Protection agents, according to federal law enforcement — adding to the nearly 2,000 agents already deployed after last week’s deadly ICE-involved fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old white woman and U.S. citizen who was the mother of three.
She died during a federal immigration operation after an officer shot her at point-blank range.
The deployment traces back to Operation Metro Surge, which was a Trump immigration enforcement push set to begin in December and resulted in more than 2,000 arrests, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Over the weekend, DHS released additional video showing minutes before the shooting, but not the moments the shots were fired. The agency insists the ICE officer acted to protect himself and has left key questions unanswered about how the encounter escalated.
