Thursday, January 8th — We’re following breaking developments after a fatal shooting involving an ICE agent in South Minneapolis. The woman killed has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Good, a U.S. citizen and mother who recently moved to Minnesota. A memorial continues to grow at the scene as a GoFundMe for her family approaches $600,000.


We break down what’s known about the ICE agent involved, including his role on a special tactical unit and a prior incident in Bloomington, as ICE confirms its “largest operation ever” will continue in the Twin Cities. Minneapolis Public Schools close out of an abundance of caution as protests escalate, arrests are made, and chemical irritants are deployed near federal buildings.


Governor Tim Walz sharply criticizes the federal takeover of the investigation, warning Minnesotans against violence, while Vice President JD Vance defends the agent’s actions. We also hear from faith leaders, students, and community members as conflicting narratives emerge and protests spread nationwide.
