Video Exposes Trump Admin's 'Self-Defense' Lie in Fatal Minneapolis Shooting

  • Renee Nicole Good, 37, was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis after dropping off her son.
  • Trump administration, including VP JD Vance and DHS Sec. Kristi Noem, claimed Good tried to run over the agent, calling it "self-defense" and "domestic terrorism."
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, other officials, and eyewitnesses dispute this, stating Good was driving away from agents.
  • Video footage shows Good reversing and turning away from agents; an agent then draws his gun and fires three shots as she drives forward, not towards them.
  • The incident has sparked widespread anger, protests, and a political divide, with officials like Gov. Tim Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar condemning the administration's narrative.

Why It Matters: Video evidence contradicts Trump admin's self-defense claim in fatal Minneapolis ICE shooting.
