Immigration authorities prevented a doctor from assisting Renee Nicola Good, a mother of three who was fatally shot by an ICE officer, using callous language, according to reports. The doctor, whose identity remains undisclosed, inquired about checking the victim’s pulse following the incident in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Allegedly, ICE agents obstructed the doctor, disregarding his medical credentials when he tried to intervene.
A different agent supposedly informed the doctor that Emergency Medical Services were en route and that they had their own medical personnel on-site. The interaction was reportedly captured on video, with a bystander questioning the whereabouts of the medical assistance. The tension escalated as the woman expressed anger over the tragic event.
The 37-year-old victim, Renee Good, tragically lost her life during an ICE operation. The incident has sparked controversy and differing opinions across the United States.
Video footage revealed a masked federal agent firing multiple shots at Good’s vehicle, which then collided with another car. Officials from the Department of Homeland Security defended the agent’s actions, claiming self-defense, stating that one of the individuals was allegedly attempting to harm federal officers.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemned the ICE officer’s actions, demanding ICE to leave Minneapolis. He referred to video evidence showing ICE agents firing shots at a vehicle attempting to drive away. Mayor Frey disputed claims of self-defense and criticized the ICE presence in the city.
Tensions in Minneapolis escalated further with the deployment of over 2,000 ICE agents for a large-scale immigration operation. The incident occurred near immigrant markets and close to the location where George Floyd was killed, leading to protests and calls for ICE to exit Minnesota.
Donna Ganger, the mother of Renee Good, described her daughter as a compassionate and loving individual. Tributes poured in for Good following the tragic event, highlighting her positive qualities and caring nature.
