WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Emilia Sykes (OH-13), an Akron Democrat and one of three Black women in Congress from Ohio, released a statement urging a full investigation and accountability after the tragic shooting death by ICE agents of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, MN.
Good, 37 at her death, was a mother of three and was gunned down by ICE on Jan 7, with ICE claiming she tried to run over the agent with her car, a lie by all standards, sources have said. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, both Republicans, defended the ICE agent at issue and have told national mainstream media that Good was the alleged perpetrator and not a victim, while Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, expressed outrage. Meanwhile, protests have erupted in Minneapolis and are spreading across the country.
BACKGROUND OF THE INCIDENT
ICE agents were conducting operations in a residential area of Minneapolis when one of their vehicles got stuck in the snow, reports say. Good was nearby after picking her son up from school, and masked men from ICE approached her car, leading her to drive away, one witness has said. Angry that she had driven off, one ICE agent began firing into her car, killing her.
The video of the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good is devastating to watch and raises questions about the use of deadly force,” said Rep. Sykes. "This event must be treated professionally and with a full investigation and complete transparency."
The congresswoman added that "as ICE agents have been deployed across the country, the administration must ensure they are adequately trained to de-escalate tense situations and maintain the safety of the American people. I will work with my colleagues to ensure accountability and safety.”
