A Minneapolis witness is directly contradicting the Trump administration’s account of a deadly ICE shooting, describing a chaotic scene in which agents appeared panicked, untrained, and more focused on shielding their colleague than saving a woman’s life. Speaking to CNN, the witness said Renee Nicole Good never posed a lethal threat, that the officer who fired appeared “spooked,” and that agents blocked on-scene medical help while rushing the shooter away. Video and eyewitness testimony undermine Donald Trump officials' claims that Good “weaponized” her car or seriously injured an officer, raising fresh questions about the raid, the use of force, and the official narrative pushed from the White House and DHS.
