What began as an immigration raid in Minneapolis has now exploded into nationwide outrage. An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old mother of three — and within hours, protests erupted, schools shut down, and federal vehicles were attacked. Now, officials are telling very different stories about what really happened. Wednesday morning, in a quiet, snow-covered neighborhood just south of downtown Minneapolis, Renee Nicole Macklin Good sat behind the wheel of her SUV. Minutes later, she was dead — shot in the head by a federal immigration officer.
ICE and Homeland Security officials quickly claimed the shooting was self-defense, saying the woman tried to ram officers with her vehicle. Within hours, protesters flooded the streets chanting, “ICE out of Minnesota.” Some demonstrators clashed with heavily armed federal agents wearing gas masks. Chemical munitions were fired. ICE vehicles were damaged. And spontaneous protests spread to other cities across the country.
