Minneapolis ICE shooting live updates: New footage from agent’s phone shows interaction that led to woman being fatally shot

The announcement comes just days after an ICE officer, identified as Jonathan Ross, shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.

The Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services launched a “sweeping initiative reexamining thousands of refugee cases through new background checks and intensive verification of refugee claims” in Minnesota since mid-December, according to a statement released Friday.

Minneapolis Public Schools has announced that classes will resume on Monday and that the district will be offering “an optional online learning opportunity” for students until February 12.

The school district had canceled classes on Thursday and Friday, citing “safety concerns related to today’s incidents around the city.” The announcement came hours after Renee Nicole Good was shot.

The officer, who has been identified as Jonathan Ross, fired three shots because he feared for his life, according to administration officials.

The ACLU filed a lawsuit in December on behalf of a group of Minneapolis residents who alleged Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents followed them home, fired chemical spray and rubber bullets, and threatened them with arrest as Donald Trump’s administration began surging federal law enforcement into the state.

In a statement released Friday, Renee Nicole Good’s wife, Becca Good said they had “stopped to support our neighbors” on January 7, before the tragic incident took place.

“We had whistles. They had guns,” she wrote.

She said she and her wife had found in Minneapolis had been “taken from me forever” following Wednesday’s shooting.

“Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles.

“What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy. And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other.

“Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever.”

The White House has slammed the media for pushing “shameless propaganda” following the release of footage reportedly taken by ICE agent

“Instead of facts, the media pushed shameless propaganda. That’s why Americans don’t trust them,” the account wrote, alongside a compilation of commentators highlighting that the agent, Jonathan Ross, was not in fact hit by the vehicle during the altercation.

United Nations spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric has said that video footage of Renee Nicole Good’s fatal shooting in Minneapolis is “deeply disturbing.”

“I think it disturbs anyone who’s seen it,” Dujarric said in a press briefing Friday.

“We understand that there is an investigation going on and we hope it is conducted thoroughly and that people are brought to account.”
