New Cellphone Video Shows ICE Officer Hit by Car Before Shooting Woman in Minneapolis [WATCH]

Cellphone video circulated by multiple media outlets shows a near-deadly assault on a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis that led the officer to fire his weapon in self-defense, according to reporting and statements from the Department of Homeland Security.

The footage, published by Alpha News and Townhall on X, appears to be recorded from the perspective of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer involved in the encounter.

The video shows the moments leading up to the shooting of Renee Nicole Good, who was driving a vehicle during the incident.

According to the footage, the ICE officer approached Good’s vehicle during an immigration enforcement operation and instructed her to get out of the car.

The video shows the officer standing in front of the vehicle at the time the car accelerated forward and struck him. After being hit and falling to the ground, the officer fired his weapon at Good.

The Department of Homeland Security said the officer had previously been seriously injured in a separate vehicular assault during an immigration enforcement operation last summer.

DHS said the officer “was dragged in June by a child sexual predator trying to evade an immigration enforcement arrest.

He suffered severe injuries and required 33 stitches.”

DHS has stated that vehicles can be used as deadly weapons, particularly in close-range encounters with law enforcement.

The video shows the officer approaching the driver-side window as Good remained inside the vehicle.

During the interaction, Good is heard speaking to the officer and appears calm as he moves around the car.

The officer can be seen recording the interaction with his cellphone, visible by reflection in the vehicle’s rear window.

At one point in the footage, a second individual, identified as a companion of Good who was outside the vehicle, is heard speaking to the officer while filming him.

The individual appears to comment about the vehicle’s license plate and continues to follow the officer as he moves around the car.

The officer appears to be attempting to document identifying information about the vehicle and those involved.

The officer repeatedly instructs Good to exit the vehicle.

After the third instruction, as the officer is positioned in front of the car, the vehicle accelerates forward.

The video abruptly shifts upward as the officer is struck and falls, followed by the sound of gunfire.

Authorities have said the officer fired his weapon after being hit by the vehicle.

The incident has prompted public reaction from local officials. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has commented publicly on the shooting and characterized the encounter differently from federal officials.

Frey has suggested that the video supports concerns about the officer’s actions, a claim disputed by federal authorities and others who have reviewed the footage.

MAYOR JACOB FREY: “Donald Trump said that Renee ran the ICE agent over.”

“Don’t take my word for it. Don’t take their word for it. Watch the video from every single angle.”

Federal officials have maintained that the officer acted in self-defense after being struck by the vehicle.

DHS has emphasized that the use of a vehicle against a law enforcement officer constitutes a potentially lethal threat and that officers are trained to respond to such threats to protect their lives.

The cellphone footage does not include context for the events that preceded the officer’s approach to the vehicle or the broader enforcement operation underway at the time.

Authorities have said the incident remains under investigation.

The video has circulated widely online, drawing national attention and fueling debate over the use of force by federal law enforcement during immigration operations.

Federal officials have reiterated that officers are authorized to defend themselves when faced with imminent threats, including assaults involving vehicles.
