Minneapolis : une mère de famille abattue par la police de l'immigration, des heurts éclatent entre manifestants et forces de l'ordre

After the death on Wednesday, January 7, of an American mother shot by an immigration officer, clashes between law enforcement and protesters broke out Thursday morning at the scene of the tragedy in Minneapolis.

As the city of Minneapolis, in the northern United States, was shaken by the death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old American mother shot by immigration police on Wednesday, about a hundred protesters gathered Thursday morning in front of a federal building in the city to protest against this act.

A protest movement during which slogans hostile to immigration police were chanted and which led to brief clashes with law enforcement, where at least two of the protesters were arrested during a tense standoff with armed police officers.

Local and federal authorities disagree

While approximately 2,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had been conducting a large-scale operation in Minneapolis and its suburbs since Tuesday, one of the officers shot and killed an American mother on Wednesday, January 7, while she was in her vehicle. The shooting occurred after "rioters began blocking officers," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. Renee Nicole Good then allegedly "converted her vehicle into a weapon, attempting to overturn law enforcement officers with the intent to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism," the statement reads.

“An ICE agent, fearing for his life, the lives of his colleagues, and public safety, then fired shots in self-defense,” the department stated, resulting in the death of the 37-year-old driver of the vehicle. This statement was corroborated by US President Donald Trump himself, who nevertheless added: “I don’t want to see anyone get shot.”

Videos to support this

However, this version of events is disputed by local authorities, who cite a video circulating on BlueSky. The video, authenticated by the American press, shows law enforcement officers approaching a burgundy Honda maneuvering on a snowy road in an attempt to block the vehicle. The car begins to drive away, then gunshots ring out, causing the SUV to veer off course and crash into a parked vehicle a few meters away.

From another angle, a police officer is seen attempting to open the car door before the vehicle restarts and drives away from the officers, at which point a member of law enforcement opens fire several times. After viewing the video, the Democratic mayor of Minneapolis, during a press conference, called the immigration police's version of events "bullshit," insisting that the mother posed no danger to anyone.

"I saw the video. Don't believe this propaganda machine," said Democratic Governor Tim Walz, former running mate of Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. "The state (of Minnesota) will ensure that a full, fair, and timely investigation is conducted to ensure that accountability is established and justice is served," he added.

For his part, Vice President JD Vance, in line with Donald Trump's anti-illegal immigration stance, stated on X: "I want every ICE agent to know that their chairman, vice president, and the entire administration support them," adding that they would "work even harder to enforce the law." In a press conference held Wednesday evening, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that the victim had "followed and obstructed the work of the police throughout the day."

    Martial law il y a 2 jours
    L'objectif c'est de soulever les masses, injecter des agitateurs dans ces masses et dans les marches qui vont suivre, blamer la gauche terroriste et declarer la martial law. Terroriser la population, creer plus de chaos pour justifier l'invocation de Insurrection Act ou bien meme Martial Law (comme la majorite du congres lui leche le derriere). Cela ne va pas s'arreter ici, ces elements de ICE qui sont armés par le gouvernement vont constituer un element deterrent puissant lors des futures midterm elections. Les citoyens auront peur d'aller voter.
