. The Killing of Renee Nicole Good (January 7, 2026)

Good, a 37‑year‑old U.S. citizen, was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

Her death triggered the first wave of protests against the federal operation in Minnesota.

Federal officials claimed she posed a threat, but eyewitness accounts and video evidence contradicted that narrative.

Her case remains under investigation, but state investigators were blocked from accessing the scene, slowing progress.

2. The Killing of Alex Pretti (January 24, 2026)

This is the case that has drawn the most national attention.

What happened

Pretti, a 37‑year‑old VA ICU nurse, was filming federal agents during an operation.

Multiple videos show agents pepper‑spraying him, tackling him, and pinning him to the ground.

Federal officials initially claimed he approached agents with a handgun, but video evidence from Reuters, BBC, AP, NYT, CNN, and The Guardian shows he was holding a phone, not a gun.

He was shot multiple times within seconds, even after he was motionless.
