ICE Agents Killed Two U.S. Citizens in Minneapolis
During immigration raids in Minneapolis, federal agents fatally shot two U.S. citizens in separate incidents. Video evidence contradicted official accounts. 2025 was the deadliest year for ICE detention on record.
During "Operation Metro Surge" immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis, federal agents fatally shot two U.S. citizens in separate incidents:
- Renee Good (January 7, 2026): A 37-year-old mother of three, shot and killed by an ICE agent. Bystander footage contradicted the official account of the shooting.
- Alex Pretti (January 24, 2026): A 37-year-old ICU nurse, shot by Border Patrol agents. Body camera footage showed Pretti was already disarmed and subdued when agents fired "at least 10 shots in five seconds."
Trump administration aides declared 16 DHS shootings since July 2025 justified before investigations were even completed. Neither shooting victim was an undocumented immigrant — both were American citizens.
2025 was the deadliest year for ICE detention on record, with 41 deaths in custody. The shootings in Minneapolis became a flashpoint for concerns about the militarization of immigration enforcement and the use of deadly force against American citizens on American soil.
