Rennee Good's family lawyers have now released the results of an independent autopsy, showing three gunshot wounds. She was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said at the time the agent opened fire after Good tried to ram officers with her vehicle.

The DHS has not yet published the outcome of its investigation. We await details of what legal action Good's family lawyers may take against DHS. This thread has been started as the previous thread comes towards its 1000 post end to discuss the aftermath, impact and repercussions.

I just saw a clip of the guy before he was tackled . He was just fimimhg the ice agents. They started to push him and then the clip ended. No gun in sight just a phone. The first published clip shows him down on the ground. There is a lady filming it all that was quite close and from a good angle. Apparently, she is now held ..who knows what will happen to her video. Minneapolis has become a dangerous police state.

Are people not allowed to legally carry guns?

imaround Sat 24-Jan-26 18:46:48

Looks like they are saying he had a gun. If that is the case, there were enough officers there to subdue him and remove his gun from him. These are not police officers. They are untrained mercenaries. A trained police officer would have had the tools to deescalate this. Actually, they would never have started this to begin with.

The number of excuses they come up with is amazing. This is why they do not want observers. Because the videos always show a different version than the "official" one.

If the local police try to preserve the scene of any of these killings and ICE try to stop them, I can see a war breaking out between them.

This is dreadful.

I believe that Trump is spreading the action into other areas?

imaround Sat 24-Jan-26 18:25:07

Yes he was a citizen who was observing when he was executed by ICE. I can't see a way to stop this from escalating at this point.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 24-Jan-26 18:18:29

So the ICE gestapo shot a US citizen at point blank range after half beating him to death.

Mr. S. is watching it Wyllow and we can't believe what we're seeing, it's like scenes from a film shock.

I cannot believe this! I am so angry, I am so concerned for citizens - there is a live BBC streaming right now. She says people are afraid to go to school, the shops. "she" is the safety directs, who has actually worked in places like the Yemen.

Absolutely shocking scenes in that video imaround. There were multiple ICE agents wrestling the man to the ground- certainly sufficient in number to do so safely if they had received restraint training.

Just what reason has/is going to be given by ICE for firing multiple fatal shots in that situation?? Absolutely shocking!

This is a direct violation of the 4th Amendment. They can not enter a home without a judicial warrant, which they do not have.

It’s appallingly shocking, what is happening to our once almost civilised world.

BlessedArt Sat 24-Jan-26 16:53:38

I’ve also just seen another person has been shot.

Minnesota officials are furious, rightfully so. The ICE Gestapo are simply terrorizing communities. Sending thousands of violent, aggressive, untrained thugs into communities of people this administration hates will lead to more shootings. This is a powder keg waiting to blow.

Not that they mean much to those affected, but my thoughts and prayers really are with those communities. It’s hard to believe US society has devolved to this in 2026.

Shocking!
Just shocking!!
This isn’t law enforcement is a bunch of assassins.

Be very careful with the video in that Star Tribune article. It shows the moment an ICE officer shot a man.

imaround Sat 24-Jan-26 16:15:20

Another person shot by ICE. I am sure he tried to run down officers and all that. hmm

This is an interesting substack article. It is exactly what I am seeing here in the US.

Citizens are arming themselves. Local law enforcement and National Guard have been told to wear green safety vests so that people can distinguish them from ICE.

"In October 2024, a team at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law (CERL) ran a tabletop exercise simulating how a modern American civil war might begin. The scenario was chillingly specific: a president orders a highly unpopular federal law-enforcement operation in a major city. Local officials resist. Courts freeze. Federal agents clash with state authorities. The exercise, led by professor Claire Finkelstein, was meant as a warning. By January 2026, it had become a blueprint for reality."

I found it difficult to read so will post a link to the story, imaround

From the link:
The judge noted that the toddler had no criminal history and that her continued detention posed a serious risk.
She's two years old 😲

Keep posting imaround and keep safe.
Appreciate the information.

Looks like ICE is ramping up in Maine and I saw stories of Pennsylvania preparing. In my own state, we are seeing ICE ramp up and people are already starting to form watch groups and patrols.

I am afraid it is about to be the wild west out here. This is when we could see the 2nd Amendment come into play.

imaround Sat 24-Jan-26 15:23:14

But... They are only picking up the worst of the worst. The criminals ok? Nothing to see here. /s angry

Blinko Sat 24-Jan-26 15:20:17

How many grown men does it take to subdue a five year old? This whole thing is truly terrifying. Whatever menace Trump may be to the rest of the Western world, clearly things are so much worse back home. This looks like state backed terrorsim.

Another court found that the administration is just making stuff up to deport people.

"Newly unsealed court documents show the Trump administration did not have evidence that Tufts University PhD student Rümeysa Öztürk was supporting terrorist activity when she was arrested and her visa was revoked, and the action was taken because of an opinion article she wrote that contained criticisms of Israel.

The documents, related to legal cases of students whose visas were revoked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and who were threatened with deportation last year, also show the administration found it difficult to find evidence to support the revocation of Öztürk’s visa."

And take into account that individuals are dying in the holding centres, with no oversight.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 24-Jan-26 11:13:05

I have been listening to a podcast broadcast from Minneapolis through this past week, and I am beginning to fear and understand just how serious this could become.

Two instances of many others, just thus week. A 5 year old was snatched from the streets and sent it is thought to Texas - but not clear. An elderly man was snatched from what looked like his bed, wearing only boxer shorts with a blanket slung over his shoulders - but mostly naked - in -minus temperatures.

All without warrant. And it isn’t just immigrants that are being targeted. Ordinary citizens are frightened and being picked up for no apparent reason. School busses are being chased by ICE

This is truly the actions of a gestapo.

It is now being thought that Minneapolis is serving as a Guinea pig for the whole of the USA, and if Trump can get it to work there he intends to use it as a model to spread authoritarianism through a country which was once the land of the free.

But we must never be complacent - we know that when USA sneezes the U.K. catches cold. Two of our political parties have indicated that they intend to introduce the same regime.

We live in scary times.

It was -20F in Minneapolis today.
