ICE officer-involved shootings and jurisdictional disputes
Federal agencies, including the FBI, have blocked state investigators from accessing evidence in the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent on January 7, 2026, in Minneapolis, asserting exclusive federal jurisdiction and raising concerns about the investigation's fairness. As of February 23, 2026: Two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are under federal investigation for allegedly making untruthful statements about a separate January 14, 2026, shooting in Minneapolis, with new video evidence contradicting their claims and leading to dismissed charges against two men. Indriany Mendoza Camacho, partner of Julio Sosa-Celis, disputes the DOJ's account of the January 14 shooting, claiming the agent fired into their home, endangering children. A government report to Congress indicates two federal agents fired their weapons during the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti on January 24, 2026, and notably, the report does not mention Pretti reaching for a firearm, contradicting initial claims by the Department of Homeland Security of an "armed struggle." A federal judge has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to preserve all evidence related to Pretti's shooting, which sparked large protests across several U.S. cities.
