The Minneapolis shooting video, recorded by an ICE agent, has sparked new debate.
The newly emerged video, which was shared by the US Vice President JD Vance on X, showed the final moments of Renee Nicole Good before getting fatally shot by the ICE agent, reprted Sky News.
The footage shows Good telling the agent, "That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you," as he approaches her car.
The situation escalates, with Good's wife starting to film the scene and confronting the officer.
Good's wife taunts the ICE agent and asks him twice if he wants to "come at us", adding, "I say you go get yourself some lunch, big boy."
Another ICE agent then approaches Good, who was in the driver's seat, and asks her to "Get out of the f***ing car." She reverses, then moves forward, getting close to the officer who falls on the ground; it is unclear if she hits him or narrowly misses.
The agent exclaims in shock and fires multiple shots. As Good's car moves down the road and crashes into parked vehicles, the agent seems to mutter "f***ing bitch."
The new video has raised new questions about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross's conduct and decision to open fire.
The Trump administration, including Vance, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and US President’s eldest son Donald Trump Jr, have repeatedly backed the ICE agent and said Ross acted in self-defence when he had no choice but to shoot.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem called it “an act of domestic terrorism”.
Meanwhile, Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the self-defence narrative “garbage”.
Speaking at the news conference on Friday, January 9, Frey said, “This is not a time to hide from the facts. This is a time to embrace them, making sure that we’re pushing for transparency every step of the way.”
Good was a mother of three, including a 6-year-old son.
Minnesota officials, including Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and Attorney General Keith Ellison, are launching their own investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent.
This comes after the FBI blocked state investigators from accessing evidence and witness interviews, sparking accusations from Frey that the Trump administration is trying to control the investigation's outcome.
