An FBI investigation is underway after an ICE officer fatally shot a woman in southern Minneapolis on Wednesday, in an incident characterized very differently by local and federal officials.
Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot behind the wheel of an SUV near the intersection of 34th Street and Portland Avenue just before 10:30 a.m. CT. U.S. President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem both described the woman as an agitator who had been interfering with ICE agents on scene.
Noem, a central figure in Trump’s immigration crackdown, said Good ignored officers’ orders to get out of her vehicle and “weaponized” the SUV by deliberately trying to ram into the officer. She said the agent shot the driver three times in self-defence.


I think in the case of refugees from the US (which I guess is the implication here?). I think most countries won’t accept that. Not because deep down they don’t (or won’t soon) recognize that there might be good grounds for it. But that they don’t want to poke a stick in the direction of what is a very volatile government over there right now. Especially one that has shown they’re not above just invading another country for their own ends.
The UK will especially be unlikely to do so bearing in mind our current leader has done his best to avoid any criticism of the administration and is generally going out of his way to appease the US president. Our next leader (oh I wish I could say it won’t be him) is more likely to side with the US administration AND make asylum harder to claim.
This seems to also be happening a lot in Europe right now. Hence why I say, you cannot count on us. Militarily we can’t do a damn thing, our leaders are doing their best to keep crosshairs pointed elsewhere, and things are only likely to get worse and not better over here.
Their point was that the rest of the world could help, not that they will.
Agreed. I just don’t think we (the plebs) can influence our governments in this case. Appeasement is going to be the way most go I’m afraid.
