Update -- New cell phone footage recorded from ICE agents phone shows a new perspective of what happened moments before Renee Nicole Good was killed.

NBC News released the footage earlier today.

January 8, 2026 -- Renee Nicole Good, 37, was fatally shot by an ICE officer during an ICE raid in South Minneapolis on January 7.

The Department of Homeland Security said Good used her vehicle as a weapon to block agents from making arrests.

In a press conference after the shooting, Secretary Kristi Noem defended ICE and said, Good "engaged in an act of domestic terrorism."

She was backed by President Donald Trump where he wrote on Truth Social: Good "violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer... It is hard to believe he is alive."

In a separate press conference, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey demanded justice for Good and for ICE agents to leave the city. Frey said that ICE is doing the opposite of providing safety to the city and are instead creating "distrust" and "chaos."

He urged the community of Minneapolis to face the tragedy with courage. "Respond with the best version of yourself," Mayor Frey said. "Meet hate with love, despair with hope, and injustice with constitutional justice."
