Feds Block Evidence: Minnesota Launches Independent ICE Shooting Investigation 2026
On January 9, 2026, Minnesota authorities bypassed federal blocks to open the Minnesota ICE shooting investigation 2026, following the death of Renee Good.
They had whistles, but the feds had guns. In a move that signals a breaking point in federal-state relations, Minnesota authorities announced on January 9, 2026, that they're launching an independent probe into the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman by a federal immigration officer.
The Minnesota ICE Shooting Investigation 2026 and the Evidence Dispute
According to Reuters, Hennepin County prosecutor Mary Moriarty and Attorney General Keith Ellison accused the FBI of blocking access to crucial scene evidence and witness statements. The victim, Renee Nicole Good, was shot on Wednesday in Minneapolis. Moriarty was unequivocal about her jurisdiction, stating that her office would not wait for federal permission to decide if state charges are warranted against the officer.
This is a time to follow the law. This is not a time to hide from the facts.
Rift Deepens as Trump Admin Defends Shooting
The Trump administration hasn't backed down. Officials, including Vice President JD Vance, have characterized the shooting as self-defense against "domestic terrorism," claiming Good weaponized her car. However, bystander videos reportedly tell a different story, showing Good turning her wheels away from the officer before he fired three shots while moving backward. This incident follows a similar shooting in Portland, where a Border Patrol agent wounded two people on Thursday.
