When 37-year-old Renee Nicole Goode was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on January 7th, Americans across the country took notice.

The video of her shooting went viral and almost instantaneously, two different versions of what really happened took hold.

In one version, the ICE agent was righteously defending his own life with the shooting.

In the other, a federal officer had criminally shot and killed an innocent woman.

Today is Friday, January 16th, 2026.

Since that fateful day, protests have erupted across the nation.

And what some are saying is parallel to the outrage felt across the nation when George Floyd was killed.

In fact, the shooting happened not so far from where Floyd was killed six years ago.

Has a tide turned for how Americans feel about

about immigration enforcement.

Here to help us dig into all of it is USA Today breaking news reporter Christopher Kahn.

Chris, thanks so much for being here.

Let's first take a step back and recap what happened on January 7th, the day Renee Nicole Goode was killed.

The days that followed have been marked by chaotic clashes between federal agents and protesters.

In fact, there was a second shooting just two days ago on January 14th that has intensified demonstrations.

What happened there, Chris?

Yesterday, President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act.
