Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has sharply criticized ICE’s account, calling the self-defense claim “bullsh*t” and demanding the federal agency leave the city.
“They are already trying to spin this as an act of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly, that is bull****,” Frey said.
Eyewitnesses captured harrowing moments following the shooting, including a woman claiming to be Good’s wife, who explained they had a six-year-old child and no local family to help:
“That’s my wife… I have a six-year-old at school… we’re new here… we don’t have anyone.”
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin described the driver’s actions as “weaponizing her vehicle” and labeled the incident an “act of domestic terrorism,” escalating tensions further.
In response, Minneapolis streets erupted with protests. Demonstrators marched, hurled snowballs, and clashed with law enforcement, prompting Governor Tim Walz to place the Minnesota National Guard on standby.
“We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary,” Walz said. “Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight. We will not take the bait.”
The incident has reopened debates about ICE operations in urban areas, use-of-force standards, and local-federal coordination, as residents, officials, and families demand answers.
