Cellphone video footage released Friday shows the moments that led to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by a federal agent, amid escalating tensions around the Trump administration’s illegal immigration crackdown in the city.
The video was released two days after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good as she allegedly drove toward officers.
The footage taken from an ICE agent’s vantage point shows Good’s Honda Pilot parked in the middle of a residential street, appearing to block traffic.
