What incident sparked mass protests in Minnesota?

Ben Meiselas 0:08
Mass protests are breaking out across Minnesota and across the United States as Donald Trump's ICE Gestapo murdered in cold blood a United States citizen in connection with Trump's invasion of Minneapolis. This murder took place in the South Minneapolis area.

Who was the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis?

Ben Meiselas 0:30
We now know who the victim was, a lady by the name of Renee Nicole Goode. You heard those protesters at the beginning of this video, peaceful protesters screaming out, say her name, say her name, Renee Nicole Goode, Renee Nicole Goode in her glove compartment of her vehicle where she was brutally murdered by the ICE Gestapo. You can see the glove compartment is filled with stuffed animals right there.

What were the immediate reactions from the victim's family and community?

Ben Meiselas 1:00
We've heard from Renee Nicole Good's mother, who said that her daughter was a very peaceful and loving and caring person who was probably terrified when she was approached by these masked ICE Gestapo. We saw them approach her with weapons drawn with masks and then shoot inside the vehicle. The officer positioned himself at first in front of the vehicle, and then moved to the side. And when there was clearly no threat, started shooting her in her face. I mean, we have the photo right there.

How did Kristi Noem respond to the shooting incident?

Ben Meiselas 1:37
I've played this video multiple times. I don't need to play it again. You can go and watch the prior videos if you want to watch it. But this was clearly an unjustified shooting.

What claims did officials make about the victim's actions during the incident?

Ben Meiselas 1:47
By the way, when I used to be a litigator, I handled cases just like this. This is a textbook wrongful death, unjustified excessive force. And again, we're seeing protests in Manhattan, protests in cities and states across the country. And now we are hearing from Kristi Noem, who is in Minneapolis, and she is further defaming right now the deceased victim, Renee Nicole Goode. Kristi Noem, moments ago, says that the ICE officer, you saw right there, actually feared for his life, and he was firing defensive shots against a domestic terrorist.

What is the broader context of ICE operations in Minneapolis?

Ben Meiselas 2:28
That's what this vile and despicable regime is now using to justify their murder. They're calling Renee Nicole Good a domestic terrorist. Here, play this clip.
Kristi Noem 2:41
She then proceeded to weaponize her vehicle and attempted to run a law enforcement officer over. This appears as an attempt to kill or to cause bodily harm to agents, an act of domestic terrorism. The ICE officer fearing for his life and the other officers around him and the safety of the public fired defensive shots. He used his training to save his own life and that of his colleagues. He was treated at a local hospital, has been released and is now with family.
Ben Meiselas 3:10
Then Kristi Noem goes on to say that she was using her vehicle as a weapon, textbook domestic terrorism. She says, notice how the Trump regime, they are the terrorists.

What did lawmakers say about the shooting and ICE's actions?

Ben Meiselas 3:23
Trump regime and their Gestapo are the terrorists. They're ISIS in America, terrorizing our peaceful communities. And notice how quickly they just throw around the word terrorism. You're a domestic terrorism. You're a domestic terrorist. These are vile, despicable, evil, sick human beings. And Kristi Noem is right there at the top. What a sick, vile piece of trash she is. Here, play this clip.
Kristi Noem 3:52
This domestic act of terrorism to use your vehicle to try to kill law enforcement officers is going to stop. And I'm asking the Department of Justice to prosecute it as domestic terrorism because it's clear that it's being coordinated. People are being trained and told how to use their vehicles to impede law enforcement operations and then to run over anybody who gets in their way while they go out there and try to disrupt peace and public safety. And Americans deserve better.
Ben Meiselas 4:16
More from Kristi Noem right here. She's asked about the injuries from the agents. We saw with our own eyes, there was no injuries. The agent killed Renee Nicole Good, 37-year-old United States citizen in cold blood, no injuries. We saw what took place. But Kristi Noem says he was hit by the vehicle. He had to go to the hospital and he had to see a doctor. BS, phony propaganda by a Putin-esque regime that needs to go, that needs to go. Play this clip.
Kristi Noem 4:55
Secretary, can you expand too on the agent's injuries?
