A doctor was prevented from helping a dying mother after she was shot by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in “self-defence” during a federal operation in Minneapolis.The woman was identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot during an immigration enforcement action in south Minneapolis. According to witnesses and multiple social media videos, a man who identified himself as a physician begged federal agents to allow him to provide medical assistance to the dying woman. He was repeatedly refused as Good bled out.Video footage from the scene shows the doctor shouting that he could check his mother’s pulse and provide aid. An ICE agent can be heard responding: “I don’t care,” before blocking him from reaching her. Witnesses say agents claimed they had their own medics and prevented bystanders from approaching the victim.Emergency responders were eventually allowed access, but Good was pronounced dead after being taken to the hospital. Bystanders also reported that ICE vehicles initially blocked ambulances from reaching the scene.DHS and ICE claimed that an agent opened fire multiple times after Good allegedly attempted to use her vehicle as a weapon against officers and tried to run them over. That account was disputed by Dem leaders and eyewitnesses who claimed that Good was no threat to agents at the moment shots were fired. Jacob Frey, Tim Walz, Zohran Mamdani and many others condemned the action and called it a brutal killing of an innocent American citizen.However, President Donald Trump and VP JD doubled down that the ICE agent who shot the woman was in the right. Good was a US citizen and the mother of three. Relatives said she had no history of violent behaviour and was likely frightened during the encounter with heavily armed agents. She was a poet and writer who studied creative writing and won an undergraduate poetry prize in 2020.
