New video and evidence

In the video, Good's vehicle, parked in a residential street, appears to partially block traffic as ICE agents conduct an operation in south Minneapolis.

There is a honking noise that is heard repeatedly in the video while someone continually blows a whistle. The footage briefly shifts to what looks to be Renee Nicole Good's Honda Pilot parked in the middle of the road.

The clip is three and a half minutes long and stops recording seconds before the shots were fired.

DHS wrote in the X post, “The media continues to fail the American people in their reporting on the events in Minneapolis.”

DHS further added, “The evidence speaks for itself. The legacy media has lost the trust of the American people.”

Another cellphone video emerges

A cellphone video reportedly filmed from an ICE agent's perspective shows the interaction moments before the shooting. The video was also reshared by Vice President JD Vance.

In the video, Good and her wife appear to have a confrontation with the ICE officer. Good says, “That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you,” as the agent approaches.

The ICE agent then shouts, “Get out of the f***ing car,” as he approaches Good, who is driving.

Before moving forward and getting near the officer, Good first reverses her vehicle. It's unclear from the video if the cop is struck by the automobile or just barely escapes.

The circumstances surrounding her death have sparked a flurry of criticism directed at ICE and the Trump administration.
