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.

    maybe in theory, but not in practice so far

    they’re not immune to getting shot in the face, though

      Not just in theory, it’s very much a thing in practice as well

      The states are semi-sovereign legal zones. They have extradition and their own court systems and everything
