New video footage reportedly captured from the ICE agent’s cellphone has circulated, showing portions of the encounter just before the shooting. Some reports indicate that the video depicts an interaction in which Good’s vehicle moves as the agent fires, though context and interpretation vary.
Amid this heated public reaction, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey declined to soften his criticism of the ICE agent, even after seeing the video. In an interview on national television and in local press events, Frey dismissed claims that the agent was in danger and reiterated his belief that the agent’s decision to shoot was unjustified. According to media reports, the mayor remarked that the agent “walked away with a hop in his step” and questioned the narrative that the agent had been nearly run over. Frey has also publicly called for ICE to “get the f**k out of Minneapolis,” highlighting the depth of his opposition to the federal operation.
Local leaders, including Governor Tim Walz and members of Congress, have urged transparency in the investigation and for local authorities to be included. Meanwhile, the FBI has taken over the investigation, and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says it lacks access to key evidence because of that shift.
Public response has been intense and widespread. Thousands of protesters have rallied under the banner “ICE Out For Good,” demanding accountability and challenging the federal account of the shooting. Community members, family members, and activists alike have disputed claims that Good posed a threat, with many pointing to her life as a mother, poet, and neighborhood observer.
This remains an ongoing matter with passionate voices on both sides. What is clear from the reporting so far is that Minneapolis officials like Mayor Frey are not backing down in their condemnation of the agent’s actions, even as federal authorities maintain the shooting was justified.
