A newly released video from the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis mother of three, has injected fresh fuel into a firestorm over federal law enforcement and deadly force in the streets. The disturbing clip, shot from the bodycam or handheld phone of an ICE agent involved in the encounter, appears to capture one of the agents uttering a vile slur immediately after firing the shots that killed her.
In the 47-second clip, published by multiple outlets, Good is seen talking calmly with officers before the confrontation escalates. Moments after she is hit by multiple rounds, a voice can be heard saying “f—king bitch.”
The circumstances leading up to the shooting remain hotly contested. Good and her wife had been in the area supporting neighbors during an immigration operation in south Minneapolis when ICE agents approached her parked SUV and ordered her out. Witnesses and additional footage suggest there was confusion and conflicting commands before she tried to leave, and at least one agent fired three shots into the vehicle.
Her wife, Rebecca Good, was at the scene and can be seen and heard in some footage distraught and calling out in grief. Friends and community members describe Renee as a loving, compassionate person who had zero history of violence** a GoFundMe reportedly launched for the family has drawn significant support.
The Trump administration and Department of Homeland Security have defended the agent’s actions as an act of self-defense, echoing claims that Good attempted to use her vehicle as a weapon against law enforcement. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem asserted federal officers were confronting violent behavior when the shooting happened, though critics say the video contradicts that narrative.
Outrage over the slur — and the shooting itself — has spread rapidly across social and mainstream media, with protests erupting in Minneapolis and beyond. Detractors argue the language captured in the footage highlights not just a questionable use of deadly force but a deeper culture problem within ICE ranks.
Meanwhile, opponents of the administration’s stance are pushing back hard. Local leaders, civil rights advocates, and some Democratic lawmakers are demanding accountability and transparency. The incident has added to already blistering criticism over federal immigration enforcement tactics and the broader approach to policing.
Supporters of the agency, including elements within the GOP, continue to frame the encounter as justified, insisting the agent’s split-second decision was necessary given the perceived threat — even as the video contradicts key parts of that account.
For many watching the footage and hearing the slur, the visceral shock isn’t just about what was said — it’s about how quickly a public servant wielding lethal force seemed to dehumanize the person they had just shot.
