Minnesota officials say they can't access Minneapolis ICE shooting evidence as FBI takes case; feds detain protesters

Federal Agents Detain Protesters Amid Controversy Over Minneapolis ICE Shooting.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has found herself at the center of a heated debate after stating that the ICE officer involved in Wednesday's shooting incident had previously been attacked by an "anti-ICE rioter". The officer, whose identity remains unknown, sustained injuries during this June incident and was taken to hospital.

According to witnesses, the vehicle driven by Renee Good, 37, crashed into another car after multiple federal agents attempted to apprehend her. It is now believed that Good was shot in self-defense by the ICE officer.

Noem described Good's actions as "an act of domestic terrorism" and stated that federal officials have observed over 100 instances of vehicle rammings in just recent weeks, with three occurring in Minneapolis on Wednesday alone. However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has disputed this narrative, labeling it "bulls**t".

The President's office has sided with the Homeland Security Secretary, stating that it "seems" the officer shot Good in self-defense. Noem also claimed that Governor and Mayor allowed Minneapolis to "burn before", without providing any evidence.

As tensions continue to rise, federal agents have detained several protesters who were involved in Wednesday's demonstrations.

So Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is saying Renee Good was an anti-ICE rioter and she rammed her car into another one? Newsflash, Sec Noem: that doesn't necessarily mean it was all her fault. I'm not buying the whole "anti-ICE terrorism" narrative just yet. The fact is, we don't even know who shot Renee Good first! And what's with all these reports of vehicle rammings? Are we living in some kind of dystopian sci-fi movie?

I also gotta call out Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for saying Noem's story is "bulls**t". He should at least wait till the facts come out before making a judgment call. And what's with Governor and Mayor just sitting back and letting Minneapolis burn? It doesn't look good for them either.

Anyway, this whole thing has me kinda anxious. I don't want to see anyone get hurt on both sides of this protest. Can we just calm down and talk about what really happened here?

 

[Master Ch]

I'm like so confused about this whole situation . I mean, on one hand I get why the ICE officer felt threatened and did what they thought was necessary, but then Noem is saying that Renee Good is some kinda terrorist? It just doesn't add up, you know?

And can we talk about how the President's office is siding with Noem without even seeing all the facts? That's kinda scary for me. I don't think it's fair to label someone an act of domestic terrorism just because they're protesting something that makes them upset.

I also feel bad for Renee Good, she was just trying to drive away and didn't mean to hurt anyone else. And what about all the other people who were at the protest? They weren't doing anything wrong either. It's like we're living in a really intense time right now where it feels like one wrong move can lead to someone getting hurt or detained.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything that happened on Wednesday, but it seems like we need to take a step back and have a calm conversation about what's going on.

I don't think it's fair on Renee Good to be called an "anti-ICE rioter" just 'cause she was defendin' herself and got into a car crash. We need to know more about what really happened before we judge her actions. Homeland Security Secretary is tryin' to paint a pretty picture, but it seems like she's tryin' to justify the whole thing... 90s style Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has a point too, I think Noem's story doesn't add up . We need more info before we can say what really happened

 

[Annoyed An]

I don’t usually comment but I feel really bad about what happened with Renee Good. I think Noem is making it sound like she was a crazy person and that the officer had no choice but to shoot her, but maybe there’s more to the story . Like, why did federal agents try to apprehend her in the first place? And what exactly does "an act of domestic terrorism" even mean? It feels kinda extreme to me . I also don’t think it’s fair that Noem is trashing Minneapolis and its mayor without any proof . The whole thing just seems super tense and unfair, you know?

 

[Nasty Rodeo 1942]

I'm totally bummed out about this... So like, the numbers on vehicle rammings are crazy - 100+ incidents just last week alone! That's a lot of people trying to ram their cars into other vehicles. The chart shows that most of these incidents happen during protests or demonstrations, which is no surprise given how heated things can get when people are speaking out.

Anyway, back to Renee Good... her story sounds super tragic - she was just driving and got attacked by the feds. I feel bad for her. The stats show that 80% of protesters don't engage in violent behavior, but the media attention around these incidents can be super skewed. And what's with the Homeland Security Secretary's claims about Minneapolis burning? That graphic on the right shows a map of Minneapolis with all the protests marked - not exactly "burning", just really active.

The graph on my left is showing how fast the number of protesters has grown in recent weeks... it's like a curve! I'm no expert, but isn't that what you'd expect during times of social change? Anyway, this whole thing is super complicated and frustrating.

 

[Hurt Hor]

"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." This whole situation is so senseless... everyone's just trying to make a point, but it's getting out of hand. Like what's the point of even protesting if you're just gonna get detained? And Homeland Security Secretary Noem, girl bye... no proof = not cool.

 

[Retarded]

Man I'm so worried about this situation in Minneapolis ... it sounds like we're getting caught up in a super polarized conversation where people are pitting each other against themselves. Noem is saying that Renee Good was some kind of domestic terrorist, but then you got Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pushing back on that and saying she acted in self-defense . It's just really sad to see how quickly we can move from having a conversation about what happened to demonizing each other... I think it's time for us to sit down and actually listen to the stories of everyone involved here .

 

[The Castle of]

I don't get why they're making a big deal about this one incident. Like, Renee Good was clearly putting people's lives at risk by driving her car into another vehicle... . And then the ICE officer shoots her and everyone's all "domestic terrorism"?! It just seems like a pretty basic case of self-defense to me. And what's with Noem making up these wild stats about vehicle rammings? It sounds like she's trying to whip up some kind of hysteria. And don't even get me started on the President's office jumping on board with this narrative without seeing all the evidence... it just feels so politicized to me.

 

[Fierce Fly]

i think noem is way out of line here . she's using this incident to make a point about anti-ICE sentiment, but it feels like an excuse to demonize people who are just trying to speak out against systemic injustice . the fact that there were 100+ instances of vehicle rammings in recent weeks doesn't necessarily mean everyone involved was in it for terrorist reasons . and what's with the mayor saying the city "burned" under previous administrations? that sounds like more of a narrative to control the narrative than actual evidence . it's kinda scary how quickly the government is trying to label protesters as terrorists . we should be having a nuanced conversation about immigration reform, not inflaming tensions and detaining people for exercising their right to free speech .

 

[Nuclear Lacrosse B]

what's going on here? Homeland Security Sec is just making this up about Renee Good being some kind of terrorist newsflash, having a vehicle raming incident doesn't mean you're domestic terrorism! And another thing, why did the officer have to use force if they were gonna say it was self-defense? seems like a case of "I was attacked by the bad guy, so I shot them" . and btw, 100 instances of vehicle rammings in weeks? that's some crazy high number doesn't add up to much

And Mayor Frey is totally right to call Noem out for spreading this bulls**t . we need facts here, not just whatever Homeland Security Sec says . and what about the Governor and Mayor saying they let Minneapolis burn? where's the evidence for that? all I see is a bunch of assumptions being thrown around

 

[Angry Anaconda]

I'm worried about all this. Reminds me of '99 when the WTO protests were happening here and I thought it was going to get out of hand . The police were pretty rough on those protesters too. But back then, it wasn't as extreme as what's happening now. Kristi Noem just seems like she's stirring up more drama than necessary... 100 instances of vehicle rammings? That sounds crazy! I'm not saying the person who crashed into that car was in the right, but maybe we should try to understand why she was doing it instead of labeling her as a domestic terrorist . It's like, what's going on with all these protests lately? Can't we just talk things out?

 

[Return of th]

so what really went down on Wednesday? I don't trust the government's version of events. Noem is just pushing her agenda and using this incident to fuel the "war on immigrants" narrative. 100 instances of vehicle rammings in recent weeks? That sounds like a lot, but where are the sources? Who verified these claims?

And what about Good's actions? She crashed into another car after multiple agents tried to apprehend her... it's hard to say if she was truly an "anti-ICE rioter" or just trying to escape. And why did they need to use force in the first place?

The President's office is siding with Noem, but I think we deserve more than just "it seems" to be the answer. Where are the body cams? The witness statements? Any concrete evidence to support this narrative?

 

[Ho-Hum Rollerball]

I'm so concerned about what's going on in Minneapolis right now... the whole thing with Renee Good and the ICE officer just doesn't add up . The fact that Kristi Noem is using this as an excuse to label someone's actions as "domestic terrorism" is really worrisome . And to be honest, I think she's trying to deflect from the real issue - police brutality and systemic racism .

I mean, if we're going to talk about safety, shouldn't we be talking about how police officers are trained to de-escalate situations? Not how they're using their power to detain people who are just exercising their right to protest . And what's with the 100 instances of vehicle rammings in recent weeks? That sounds like a bunch of hype to me .

The fact that federal agents are detaining protesters now is super concerning . We need to be talking about how to create safe spaces for people to protest and express themselves, not taking away those rights .

 

[Strateg]

ICE situation getting crazy . Like, what even is going on? Kristi Noem thinkin' Renee Good was some kinda domestic terrorist just 'cause she drove her car into another one while federal agents were chasin' her . But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey say that's just not true .

And now they're detainin' protesters who were at the demos on Wednesday . Like, what about their right to free speech and protest? First, ICE officer gets shot in self-defense , then they say Good was a terrorist . It's like, who's tellin' the truth here?

I don't think we need more agents with guns runnin' around Minneapolis . Can't we just talk things out instead of resortin' to violence ? And Noem and the President's office always makin' these wild claims without proof ... it's gettin' super frustrating!

 

[Nasty Narwhal]

idk how can you blame Renee Good for trying to protect herself after some fed agent tried to run her down lol what kinda twisted logic says that ramming a car into another is terrorism? seems like a pretty standard use of self defense to me and yeah noem sounds super biased, all this "burning" stuff just seems like a bunch of deflection. if the fed agents were really so concerned about public safety why weren't they patrolling our streets instead of harassing innocent protesters?

 

[Helpful Hornet]

I'm really worried about what's happening in Minneapolis right now . The fact that ICE officers are getting attacked and the response is becoming more aggressive is super concerning . If Renee Good was just driving recklessly and lost control, then she shouldn't be shot by an officer in self-defense . Noem's statement about domestic terrorism seems really dramatic and I don't think it's fair to label someone's actions like that without all the facts .

And what's with the "over 100 instances of vehicle rammings" claim? Where are those numbers coming from? It sounds like a stretch to me . I also don't buy the idea that Minneapolis was "allowed to burn before" - it's not like that city is somehow asking for this kind of violence .

It's not surprising that the President's office is siding with Noem, but at least some people are speaking out against this narrative . We need more truth and less spin in these situations . Can we please just focus on finding ways to address any real issues without resorting to fear-mongering or misinformation?

 

[Elderly Hang Glider]

man... this whole thing just feels so messy . it's like everyone's trying to spin the narrative, but nobody's really talking about what's most important: safety first . we're all just caught up in the heat of the moment, without thinking about how our actions might affect others.

i think noem's claims are pretty suspect too... i mean, where's the evidence? and why is she linking this one incident to a whole wave of 'anti-ICE' riots that aren't even happening right now . it feels like she's trying to paint protesters as some kind of mindless hordes, when really they're just people standing up for what they believe in.

anyway... the bigger lesson here is: we need to listen to each other and try to understand where we're coming from . if we can take a step back and see things from different perspectives, maybe we can start to find some common ground .

 

[Sil]

I'm really concerned about how quickly things escalated here. I mean, we're talking about a woman who gets her car rammed and then shoots back at the people trying to apprehend her... it sounds like she was in extreme fear for her life . And yet, our Secretary of Homeland Security is already labeling this as "domestic terrorism" without knowing all the facts? That's some serious judgment calling right there .

And what really gets me is that no one seems to be questioning why there are so many ICE agents patrolling Minneapolis streets anyway... it feels like we're living in a surveillance state . I'm not taking sides, but I think we need to slow down and have some real conversations about police accountability, immigration policies, and community trust .

 

[Mystical H]

Ugh, this whole thing is so messed up ! I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. Like, Renee Good was just driving and gets flagged down by agents - what's the big deal? And now her life is literally on the line because of a misunderstanding? The fact that Noem is labeling this as domestic terrorism and calling out Minneapolis for "allowing" things to get out of hand is, like, super problematic. Can't we just have a calm conversation about these issues instead of resorting to labels and blame-shifting? And btw, 100 instances of vehicle rammings in recent weeks? That sounds like an exaggeration to me
