ICE Agent Involved in Fatal Minneapolis Shooting Faces Doxxing and Threats

Minneapolis, MN — January 8, 2026

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who fatally shot a 37-year-old woman during a large-scale immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis on January 7 has reportedly been doxxed on social media, with his personal information circulated online and threats directed at him and his family.

The incident, which occurred amid heightened tensions over the Trump administration's aggressive deportation efforts in the city, has sparked widespread outrage, protests, and conflicting narratives from federal and local officials. The woman killed was identified as Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three who local leaders described as a "legal observer" monitoring ICE activities rather than a target of arrest.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Good attempted to ram ICE agents with her vehicle, prompting the agent to fire in self-defense. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem characterized the event as an "act of domestic terrorism," stating that Good had been "stalking and impeding" agents throughout the day. Noem also noted that the agent involved was struck by the vehicle, treated at a hospital, and released to spend time with his family.

Video footage of the shooting, widely shared on social media, has fueled disputes over the federal account. Witnesses and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey described the footage as contradicting claims of imminent danger, with Frey calling the DHS narrative "bulls**t" and demanding that ICE leave the city. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz echoed these criticisms, labeling the shooting "totally predictable and totally avoidable" while preparing the National Guard for potential unrest.In the aftermath, social media posts emerged alleging the doxxing of the unnamed ICE agent, including circulation of his photos, personal details, and calls for confrontation. Vice President JD Vance addressed the broader issue on X (formerly Twitter), stating: "To the radicals assaulting them, doxxing them, and threatening them: congratulations, we're going to work even harder to enforce the law." President Trump similarly defended law enforcement, noting increased threats against ICE personnel.

Protests erupted immediately following the shooting near the intersection of East 34th Street and Portland Avenue—less than a mile from the site of George Floyd's 2020 death—drawing thousands and prompting school closures and vigils. Demonstrators clashed with federal agents, who deployed chemical irritants to disperse crowds.

The shooting is under investigation by the FBI and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. It comes during what DHS has called its "largest operation ever" in Minnesota, involving up to 2,000 agents targeting immigration fraud and enforcement in Somali communities.

As the controversy intensifies, both sides have accused the other of escalating violence: federal officials point to rising assaults and threats against agents, while local leaders and activists condemn the operations as terrorizing immigrant neighborhoods.

The family of Renee Nicole Good has expressed devastation, with her mother describing her as "one of the kindest people" and noting she had recently moved to Minneapolis with her partner and young son. No charges have been filed against the agent, and DHS maintains the use of force was justified.
