The footage, recorded from the agent’s own perspective, captures the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old woman killed during an ICE encounter in Minneapolis.
In the video, Good is seated behind the wheel of a maroon Honda SUV. Her wife steps out of the vehicle and begins filming. A dog is visible sitting calmly in the back seat.
At one point, Good speaks through the open window in a calm voice, saying, “It’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.”
The interaction is brief. There is no prolonged struggle shown in the footage. As her wife begins moving back toward the vehicle, the camera shifts toward the front of the SUV.
Moments later, the video jolts as the vehicle begins to roll forward.
Shots are fired.
A voice is heard cursing as the SUV continues moving.
The video was later shared publicly by federal officials, who claimed the agent’s life was endangered and that the shooting was an act of self-defense. That claim was quickly amplified by the White House.
At the same time, Minnesota officials say they are being shut out of the investigation entirely.
The FBI has excluded the state’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, a move that state leaders describe as highly unusual. Minnesota’s governor has stated that the state must be involved to preserve public trust.
Federal officials have already signaled that prosecution is unlikely. The Trump administration has labeled Renee Good a domestic terrorist and asserted that the ICE agent is protected by absolute federal immunity.
Minnesota’s attorney general and the Hennepin County attorney are now exploring whether state-level charges could still be possible.
Legal experts warn that even if charges are filed, the case could be transferred to federal court and dismissed unless prosecutors can prove the agent acted outside his official duties.
Meanwhile, federal agents were seen removing belongings from the ICE agent’s suburban Minneapolis home. The residence now sits empty amid reports that the agent and his family have gone into hiding.
Witnesses continue to dispute ICE claims that Renee Good used her vehicle as a weapon. Minneapolis city officials have publicly rejected that characterization.
Renee Good leaves behind her wife and their six-year-old child.
This video is now being used as justification. State investigators are being excluded.
The question is no longer just what happened in those final seconds — but who is allowed to investigate them.
