Shocking bodycam footage has emerged that directly contradicts the Trump administration's narrative surrounding the fatal shooting of a mother-of-three by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis. For 48 hours, officials labelled Renee Nicole Good a "domestic terrorist," but the video tells a starkly different story.
A Mother's Final, Calm Moments
The incident occurred on Wednesday, January 8, 2026. Renee Nicole Good, 37, had just dropped her six-year-old son at school before encountering a group of ICE agents. According to the footage released by Alpha News on Friday, the interaction began with Ms Good remaining remarkably composed. As an agent filmed her face and licence plate with his phone, she is heard saying calmly, "That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you."
She then moved her car slightly to allow other vehicles to pass, while agents continued to question the US citizen. The tone shifted as the officers became increasingly aggressive, demanding she "get out of the f***ing car."
Footage Challenges Official Account
The critical moment captured by the bodycam appears to undermine the official justification for the shooting. The video clearly shows Ms Good turning her steering wheel to the right, away from the ICE agent standing by her vehicle, not towards him. Following this movement, the agent exclaims "whoa" before three gunshots ring out.
Ms Good was shot three times, lost control of her car, and crashed into a parked vehicle, leading to her tragic death. In a final, callous remark, the agent who fired the shots is heard calling her a "f***ing b**ch."
White House Narrative Unravels
This visual evidence dismantles two days of claims from the highest levels of the US government. Following the shooting, Vice President JD Vance held a press conference, asserting the mother had aimed her car at the officer and pressed the accelerator, calling her death "a tragedy of her own making." President Donald Trump himself defended the agent, stating, "She behaved horribly, and then she ran him over."
The administration's attempts to frame the incident have ignited fury in Minneapolis, a city still grappling with the legacy of George Floyd's murder in 2020 and the recent politically motivated killings of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.
Meanwhile, those who knew Renee Good described a different person from the portrait painted by officials. An award-winning poet and devoted Christian from Colorado Springs, she was remembered by her wife, Rebecca, as "pure love... pure joy... pure sunshine."
The disturbing bodycam footage now stands as a direct challenge to the White House's version of events, raising serious questions about the use of force by federal immigration agents and the political rhetoric used to justify it.
