In a fiery display of frustration, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey expressed his outrage during a live CNN interview, using the s-word three times following an earlier outburst where he dropped an f-bomb. His emotions were running high after the controversial shooting of a protester by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
During his conversation with Anderson Cooper, Mayor Frey addressed the tragic incident involving Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old protester who was shot three times in the face while participating in a protest. The shooting occurred in Minneapolis, sparking widespread outrage and debate.
Footage of the event, which has since gone viral, depicts Good behind the wheel of a maroon Honda Pilot SUV. As ICE agents ordered her to exit the vehicle, she put the car in reverse and attempted to drive away. During this chaotic scene, an ICE officer discharged his weapon, fatally wounding Good and causing her vehicle to crash into two parked cars.
ICE claims that Good intentionally drove her vehicle toward the agents, framing the act as self-defense on their part. Mayor Frey, however, vehemently disputes this account, labeling it as “bulls**t” and accusing the agency of spinning the narrative to justify the shooting.
Frey, known for his candid and unfiltered communication style, further expressed his indignation, demanding that ICE agents “get the f**k out of Minneapolis,” highlighting the tension and distrust between local authorities and federal immigration enforcement in the wake of such incidents.
‘That, and I’ll say it again, is bulls**t. That is bulls**t,’ he said hours later. ‘The way they’ve been conducting themselves is also bulls**t, and we all need to be very clear-eyed about what’s happening because, by the way, this is not just about Minneapolis, this is about the endurance of our republic.’
The 44-year-old, who’s been mayor of the Minnesota city since 2018, went on to attack federal agents, adding: ‘The things that are taking place are not just illegal, they are unconstitutional. They are coming in here, they are claiming it’s about safety, and it ain’t.Â
‘They are claiming it’s about enforcing the law, and it’s not. What they are doing is terrorizing communities.’Â

He also suggested that Good was trying to ‘take a three-point turn’ when she was shot, and not attempting to run the officer over, as DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and others have claimed.Â
Frey argued Good’s actions were ‘clearly not [done] with any sort of intention to run someone over.’Â
‘You don’t need a legal degree to know that that doesn’t authorize a use of deadly force,’ he continued.Â
Meanwhile, Noem described Good’s actions on Wednesday as ‘an act of domestic terrorism’ and defended her officer’s actions.
‘An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot to protect himself and the people around him,’ she said.
She later confirmed ICE operations are still underway in Minnesota, despite the controversy.
Vice President JD Vance said agents were going to ‘work even harder’ after the woman was shot.
‘I want every ICE officer to know that their president, vice president, and the entire administration stands behind them,’ he said.

‘To the radicals assaulting them, doxxing them, and threatening them: congratulations, we’re going to work even harder to enforce the law.’
President Trump called the dead woman a ‘professional agitator’ and claimed she was shot in ‘self defense’.
The video began with the victim blocking the road with her car until ICE agents told her to move away.
She then reversed to head back down the road as an agent tried to open its driver-side door handle before she drove off.
Three shots then rang out.
At that point, Good lost control of the SUV and slammed it into parked cars and a light pole at high speed, prompting screams of shock from horrified onlookers.
Her SUV was seen with a bullet hole through the driver’s side windshield.
Good is a registered voter, but her party affiliation is not listed in public records.
She was a poet and mother who grew up in Colorado Springs.Â
Good was previously married to a comedian named Timothy Macklin, who died in 2023, and now lives in Minneapolis with her partner, whose name has not been shared.
She and Macklin had one child together, a six-year-old son, who is now orphaned.Â
Her uncle, Robert Ganger, told Denver7 the news of Good’s passing came on the same day as her older sister’s birthday.Â
In the footage from the scene, Good’s wife also mentioned her six-year-old child.
‘That’s my wife, I don’t know what to do,’ the onlooker wailed.
The man filming the video then asked if she had any friends who could help.
‘I have a six-year-old at school… we’re new here, we don’t have anyone,’ she answered.

Following the deadly incident, protests broke out across Minnesota and the country.Â
People were seen burning American flags and holding up FTP (F**k the Police) signs, as many of them demanded the ICE officer who shot Good be held accountable.Â
Just before protestors took to the streets, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz told residents they have a right to protest, but it has to be done peacefully.Â
‘I say this. I feel your anger. I’m angry. They want to show, we can’t give it to them. We cannot. If you protest and express your first amendment rights, please do so peacefully, as you always do. We can’t give them what they want,’ he said.Â
Walz also said he is preparing to deploy the National Guard ‘if necessary’, adding that members were residents of the state and were not being brought in from elsewhere.
‘Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight. We will not take the bait,’ he said.Â
