Noem says ICE officer who killed woman had been 'dragged' in 2025 ramming

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stood by the ICE officer who fatally shot a woman during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, adding that he had been previously “dragged” in a vehicle ramming months before.

Speaking at a Wednesday night press conference, Noem provided more details about what happened, along with broader context. The interaction began when a vehicle became stuck in snow, Noem said, allowing a “mob of agitators” to congregate around the ICE officers. The woman in question, identified elsewhere as 37-year-old Renee Good, used her vehicle to block the path of ICE officers, the homeland secretary said.
