On January 7, 2026, Renee Good, a U.S. citizen, was killed during a federal enforcement action in Minneapolis, an incident that has intensified scrutiny as federal authorities deploy roughly 2,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Department of Homeland Security agents across the Minneapolis–St. Paul area in a month-long surge tied to immigration enforcement and federal fraud investigations. The Donald Trump administration says the operation targets people with existing deportation orders and alleged fraud involving federally funded programs, including pandemic-era relief, while Minnesota leaders and city officials warn the crackdown is chaotic, disproportionately impacts immigrant communities, and has already included at least one reported wrongful detention of a U.S. citizen. Community groups say the heavy federal presence is spreading fear, disrupting daily life and small businesses, and escalating tensions, with Good’s killing now fueling renewed demands for transparency, accountability, and limits on federal enforcement tactics.
