A newly released video has drawn intense public attention to the final moments of a fatal encounter between federal immigration agents and Renee Good on a quiet street in Minneapolis. Recorded from an agent’s point of view, the footage captures a situation that initially appears calm, even routine, before rapidly spiraling into chaos. What unfolds in just seconds has raised urgent questions about decision-making, escalation, and accountability.
The video, first shared by a local media outlet, shows federal agents approaching Good’s SUV during an enforcement operation in south Minneapolis.
