ICE Shooting

A federal agent shot and killed a Minneapolis woman on Wednesday. 

The victim, 37-year-old Renee Good, was a U.S. citizen. Footage shows agents approaching her car—which was partially blocking a residential street during an ICE operation—ordering her to get out and attempting to open her door. Good then began to drive away when an agent fired through the windshield; it’s disputed whether he was at risk of being hit. 

DHS Secretary Noem and VP Vance say the agent acted in self-defense, accusing Good of “weaponizing” her vehicle after “stalking” agents all day. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) colorfully denounced that claim, telling ICE to leave the city.

Anti-ICE protests, some clashing with police, have spread across the country. Minneapolis schools closed over safety concerns, and Gov. Walz said the National Guard is standing by.

PRAY WITH US
Good Shepherd, we come to You to still our burdened souls. Minister to Renee’s family as their world rips apart. Give ICE agents and local law enforcement peace to carry out their duties with faithfulness and integrity. Quiet anxiety, anger, and fear across the country. And protect believers from our enemy, whose seeds of hatred grow into weeds of discord that choke out our fruitfulness for Your kingdom.

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your cares on him, because he cares about you. Be sober-minded, be alert. Your adversary the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him, firm in the faith.”
