ICE agent who shot Renee Good suffered internal bleeding, officials say

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent involved in the controversial shooting incident with Renee Good is reportedly suffering from internal bleeding, multiple U.S. officials have confirmed to ABC News. The agent’s injuries are focused on his torso, though further medical details remain undisclosed.

Tensions have escalated in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of Good, as protesters continue to rally in the streets demanding accountability and justice. These demonstrations have persisted amidst ongoing ICE operations in the area.

On Wednesday, a judge refrained from making an immediate decision regarding Minnesota’s plea to halt the Trump administration’s intensified immigration enforcement in the state. This request follows incidents where federal agents have forcefully removed individuals from their vehicles, facing backlash from outraged bystanders urging them to cease their activities.

No immediate judicial decision on a request to stop the immigration crackdown

Minneapolis has seen frequent use of tear gas and chemical irritants, with the sound of protest whistles becoming a familiar backdrop. This environment intensified after an ICE agent shot Renee Good in the head on January 7, as she attempted to drive away, leading to her tragic death.

Plumes of tear gas, the deployment of chemical irritants and the screech of protest whistles have become common on the streets of Minneapolis, especially since an immigration agent fatally shot Renee Good in the head on Jan. 7 as she drove away.

“What we need most of all right now is a pause. The temperature needs to be lowered,” state Assistant Attorney General Brian Carter said during the first hearing in a lawsuit filed by Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez promised to keep the case “on the front burner” and gave the U.S. Justice Department until Monday to file a response to the request for a restraining order. Local leaders say the government is violating free speech and other constitutional rights with the surge of law enforcement.

Menendez said the state and cities will have a few more days to respond.

“It is simply recognition that these are grave and important matters,” the judge said of the timetable, noting there are few legal precedents to apply to some of the key points in the case.

Government attorney Andrew Warden suggested the slower approach set by Menendez was appropriate.

The Department of Homeland Security says it has made more than 2,000 arrests in the state since early December and is vowing to not back down.

“What we see right now is discrimination taking place only on the basis of race: Are you Latino or are you Somali? And then it is indiscriminate thereafter,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told Fox News. “In other words, they are pulling people off the streets. They have pulled U.S. citizens off the streets and you don’t need to take my word for it at this point. This has been very well documented.”
