Rennee Good's family lawyers have now released the results of an independent autopsy, showing three gunshot wounds. She was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said at the time the agent opened fire after Good tried to ram officers with her vehicle.

The DHS has not yet published the outcome of its investigation. We await details of what legal action Good's family lawyers may take against DHS. This thread has been started as the previous thread comes towards its 1000 post end to discuss the aftermath, impact and repercussions.

Be very careful with the video in that Star Tribune article. It shows the moment an ICE officer shot a man.

Shocking!
Just shocking!!
This isn’t law enforcement is a bunch of assassins.

I’ve also just seen another person has been shot.

Minnesota officials are furious, rightfully so. The ICE Gestapo are simply terrorizing communities. Sending thousands of violent, aggressive, untrained thugs into communities of people this administration hates will lead to more shootings. This is a powder keg waiting to blow.

Not that they mean much to those affected, but my thoughts and prayers really are with those communities. It’s hard to believe US society has devolved to this in 2026.

This is a direct violation of the 4th Amendment. They can not enter a home without a judicial warrant, which they do not have.

It’s appallingly shocking, what is happening to our once almost civilised world.

Absolutely shocking scenes in that video imaround. There were multiple ICE agents wrestling the man to the ground- certainly sufficient in number to do so safely if they had received restraint training.

Just what reason has/is going to be given by ICE for firing multiple fatal shots in that situation?? Absolutely shocking!

I cannot believe this! I am so angry, I am so concerned for citizens - there is a live BBC streaming right now. She says people are afraid to go to school, the shops. "she" is the safety directs, who has actually worked in places like the Yemen.

Watch live on TV

Mr. S. is watching it Wyllow and we can't believe what we're seeing, it's like scenes from a film shock.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 24-Jan-26 18:18:29

So the ICE gestapo shot a US citizen at point blank range after half beating him to death.

imaround Sat 24-Jan-26 18:25:07

Yes he was a citizen who was observing when he was executed by ICE. I can't see a way to stop this from escalating at this point.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 24-Jan-26 18:28:17

If the local police try to preserve the scene of any of these killings and ICE try to stop them, I can see a war breaking out between them.

This is dreadful.

I believe that Trump is spreading the action into other areas?

imaround Sat 24-Jan-26 18:46:48

Looks like they are saying he had a gun. If that is the case, there were enough officers there to subdue him and remove his gun from him. These are not police officers. They are untrained mercenaries. A trained police officer would have had the tools to deescalate this. Actually, they would never have started this to begin with.

The number of excuses they come up with is amazing. This is why they do not want observers. Because the videos always show a different version than the "official" one.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 24-Jan-26 18:51:37

Are people not allowed to legally carry guns?

Syracute Sat 24-Jan-26 18:52:04

I just saw a clip of the guy before he was tackled . He was just fimimhg the ice agents. They started to push him and then the clip ended. No gun in sight just a phone. The first published clip shows him down on the ground. There is a lady filming it all that was quite close and from a good angle. Apparently, she is now held ..who knows what will happen to her video. Minneapolis has become a dangerous police state.

imaround Sat 24-Jan-26 18:52:07

Actually, I think what we are going to witness is a battle over the National Guard. Republicans are saying that Trump needs to activate them. Walz already has them on standby.

This is where case law is so important. The SC has already ruled that he cant just nationalize the guard and send them into cities and has forced Trump to return control of the NG to states already. The only way for Trump to be successful is to declare martial law and take control of the NG in Minnesota IMO.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 24-Jan-26 18:54:09

Where else is Trump sending ICE?

imaround Sat 24-Jan-26 18:57:29

I went and looked up the law for carrying a gun in Minneapolis. This is the AI summary.

"In Minneapolis, like all of Minnesota, you need a state-issued Permit to Carry to carry a handgun (concealed or openly) in public, which requires training, a background check, and an application through your county sheriff, with licenses valid for 5 years and allowing carry across 33 states. Recent court rulings have clarified that 18-20 year olds can now obtain permits, but local city ordinances can still impose restrictions, so checking Minneapolis-specific rules is crucial.

Here is the state government webpage on this.

dps.mn.gov/divisions/bca/public-services-bca/firearms-information/permit-carry

From what I have seen, the local police are reporting he was lawfully carrying his weapon. I need to find the video of him just standing there filming, which is not illegal to do. He was not impeding.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 24-Jan-26 19:00:33

Yes that is what I understand. The video just like Good looks pretty clear cut. He was filming ICE who grappled him to the ground beat him up and then shot him.

REKA Sat 24-Jan-26 19:03:07

My goodness. This man who was shot wasn't observing. He was armed. He refused to back down. Stop looking at media that confirms your biased opinions.

Obama and Biden deported hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants using ICE. Man in charge of ICE was given an award by Obama for removing illegal aliens. This same chap is in charge now. Obama had the children in cages. Look on YouTube at Obama proudly announcing the success of ICE.

Why no protests then? Just try and enhance your knowledge.

TDS is alive and kicking. And rather embarrassing.

And no, Trump is not my type of politician, Id never vote for him
But this anti Trump hysteria is, quite simply, pathetic.

Maremia Sat 24-Jan-26 19:05:40

The thing is, would the Nationsl Guard 'tackle' or support ICE?

mae13 Sat 24-Jan-26 19:06:32

Trump has driven the USA backwards by about 150 years, re-introducing Wild West non-justice.

imaround Sat 24-Jan-26 19:07:32

The Republican response. In case you want to know why there will be people here defending ICE at some point.

"Several hours after the shooting, Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer said on X that local leaders' “rhetoric empowered criminals and put federal law enforcement’s lives at risk.”

"It’s dangerous and has made the situation in Minneapolis much worse,” Emmer added. “Unlike my Democrat colleagues, I’m going to let law enforcement conduct their investigation and not jump to asinine conclusions. We are grateful no Border Patrol officers were harmed."

The Minnesota Star Tribune has reached out to the state's three other Republicans in Congress for comment."

imaround Sat 24-Jan-26 19:08:57

Here it comes. Steven Miller has called this an insurrection. He called this man a domestic terrorist who tried to kill ICE agents.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 24-Jan-26 19:14:27

Just listening to the press conference.

Once again we are asked to disbelieve our own eyes.

LemonJam Sat 24-Jan-26 19:17:43

The DHS has alleged the man was carrying a gun and released a photo of said gun. However its legal to own and carry a gun in US and the DHS have not indicated what particular crime this man had allegedly committed to be shot several times whilst video shows several ICE officers had already successfully wrestled him to the ground...
