MINNEAPOLIS — On the morning of Jan. 7, 2026, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37‑year‑old writer and mother, was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent on a residential street here. Within hours, President Donald Trump defended the killing, claiming the agent had acted in self‑defense because Ms. Good had tried to run him over. That account, however, was swiftly contradicted by multiple eyewitnesses and video analyses that showed the agent was not in the vehicle’s path when he fired.
The incident did not occur in a vacuum. It took place amid the largest immigration‑enforcement operation ever carried out by the Department of Homeland Security, which had dispatched 2,000 agents to the Minneapolis–St. Paul area targeting Somali immigrants. That operation, fueled by Mr. Trump’s escalating anti‑immigrant language, has now claimed the life of a U.S. citizen—a white woman—exposing the racist underpinnings of the administration’s policies and the President’s willingness to pervert the truth to justify violence.
The Shooting
According to witness accounts and video footage, Ms. Good was in her maroon Honda Pilot when four ICE agents approached. The agents gave conflicting orders—one telling her to drive away, another shouting at her to get out of the car. As she maneuvered forward to leave, an agent reached into the driver’s side window and another fired three shots into the vehicle. The car continued down the street before crashing into a parked car and a light pole. Ms. Good died of her injuries.
Trump’s False Narrative
Even before an official investigation could begin, Mr. Trump seized on the episode to reinforce his law‑and‑order message. He described Ms. Good as “very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self‑defense”. When New York Times reporters pointed out that the video did not show the officer being run over, Mr. Trump replied, “Well, I—the way I look at it,” and called the scene “horrible to watch”.
This deliberate distortion of the facts is part of a broader pattern. Throughout his presidency, Mr. Trump has repeatedly used dehumanizing rhetoric against immigrants, referring to Somali newcomers as “garbage” and claiming “they’re taking over Minnesota”. That language has been coupled with punitive policies, including a massive ICE surge in Minnesota that directly led to the confrontation that killed Ms. Good.
The Racist Backdrop
The shooting occurred just a mile from where George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police in 2020, a reminder that racialized violence wears many faces. While Floyd was a Black man victimized by systemic police brutality, Ms. Good—a white woman—became a casualty of what opinion writers have called “Donald Trump’s war on Black and brown immigrants”. The administration’s focus on Somali immigrants, a community that has long been a target of Mr. Trump’s vitriol, created the conditions for a deadly encounter between federal agents and a civilian who happened to be nearby.
The Perversion of Truth and Justice
Mr. Trump’s rush to justify the shooting is more than a political maneuver; it is a perversion of the truth that undermines the possibility of accountability. By falsely asserting that the agent was “run over,” the President and his allies attempted to recast a questionable use of force as legitimate self‑defense. This narrative was eagerly echoed by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who labeled Ms. Good’s actions “an act of domestic terrorism”.
Such distortions are not mere spin. They serve to legitimize violence against those deemed “other” by the administration’s racist framing. When the highest office in the land repeatedly dehumanizes immigrants and then twists the facts to excuse their killing, it signals to law enforcement that excessive force will be tolerated—even celebrated.
Outcry and Aftermath
The shooting has triggered nationwide protests, with thousands gathering in Minneapolis, Chicago, New York and other cities. Local officials have denounced the federal response. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the self‑defense claims “bullshit” and demanded that ICE “get the fuck out of Minneapolis”. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said the killing was “the consequences of governance designed to generate fear, headlines and conflict”.
Democratic lawmakers have called for a criminal investigation, while civil‑rights groups have condemned the administration’s “racist and xenophobic verbal attacks” against immigrant communities. The NAACP Legal Defense Fund warned that Mr. Trump’s rhetoric “creates danger” and could lead to more violence.
Conclusion
The death of Renee Nicole Good is a tragedy that did not have to happen. It is the product of a calculated campaign to stoke fear of immigrants, a campaign that has now turned deadly. Mr. Trump’s racist language and his perversion of the truth about the shooting are not separate issues; they are intertwined elements of a governance style that relies on division and deception.
As the nation grapples with another needless loss, the question is whether the public will see through the President’s distortions and hold his administration accountable. The videos of Ms. Good’s final moments do not lie. They show a woman trying to drive away, not a threat to an officer. They expose the gap between the facts and the narrative peddled by the White House. In that gap lies the true perversion—not only of the truth, but of the justice that Renee Nicole Good, and every American, deserves.
