The incident has sparked political and public backlash. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey demanded that federal agents withdraw from the city, calling the operation “unacceptable” and instructing officers to leave immediately. Community members and local leaders have also called for independent investigations into the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Meanwhile, federal authorities and former administration officials have described Good as having “weaponized her vehicle,” framing the shooting as defensive. Local officials and advocates strongly dispute this characterization. Mayor Frey said after reviewing the footage:
“Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly, that is not true. This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in someone dying.”
The tragedy has reignited national discussions about the role of ICE in city neighborhoods, the limits of federal enforcement, and the policies governing the use of deadly force. Advocates are demanding accountability and transparency, emphasizing that civilian safety must be paramount in urban operations.
