Minneapolis ICE shooting updates: Over 3,000 arrested in Minnesota, DHS says

Thousands have been arrested since Operation Metro Surge began in December.

Tensions continued over the weekend in Minneapolis, as protesters clashed in the streets with law enforcement, following the second shooting there in about a week involving a federal officer.

The Department of Homeland Security said that on Wednesday, a federal law enforcement officer shot a person, who they say had fled a traffic stop and then, along with two other people, began attacking the officer.

That incident followed the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, on Jan. 7. DHS officials said Good was allegedly attempting to run over law enforcement officers when an ICE officer fatally shot her -- a claim that local officials have disputed.

Woman seen pulled from car speaks out: 'Lucky to be alive'

A woman who was caught on video getting forcibly pulled from a vehicle by agents in Minneapolis on Tuesday said she feels "lucky to be alive."

The woman, Aliya Rahman, said she was driving to an appointment at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when the incident occurred.

"Masked agents dragged me from my car and bound me like an animal, even after I told them that I was disabled," she said in a statement on Thursday. "This happened just two blocks from where Renee Good was murdered, so I am very aware that this confrontation could have ended differently for me."

Rahman said that while in federal custody she asked for a doctor but was taken to a detention center, where she said she lost consciousness before being taken to a hospital.

"I may have more to say in the coming days but for now, I am relieved to be safe and ask for privacy as I heal from my injuries and navigate how to move forward from this traumatic experience," she said.

In a statement on the incident, Homeland Security said a crowd "began impeding law enforcement operations" of ICE officers and that several people were taken into custody for assault.

"One agitator ignored multiple commands by an officer to move her vehicle away from the scene, she was arrested for obstruction," the statement, which did not identify Rahman by name, said.

In video of the incident, Rahman can be heard saying she is disabled and was trying to go to the doctor.

Two children, including one who was 6-months-old, were hospitalized last night after federal agents deployed tear gas during Wednesday night's protests, according to the Minneapolis Office of Community Safety.

"The family moved the infant into a nearby home. Reports also stated that the baby had stopped breathing," the agency said in a statement.

"Firefighters and Minneapolis Police officers worked through the crowds in the area to reach the home. Once on scene, they assessed the infant and confirmed that the infant was breathing and stable, but serious condition," the Minneapolis Office of Community Safety added.

The infant and another child, whose age was not released, were transported to a hospital for further evaluation. Details about their conditions weren't immediately available.

Renee Good family attorney talks about family's politics

Amid reports that Good’s father Tim Ganger is a supporter of Trump, attorney Atonio Romanucci told ABC News that some in Good’s family voted for the Trump administration during the 2024 elections, but said that after her death her family is “united as to what happened against Renee.”

"In the last election, some of her family voted in for this administration, but despite that, they are united now that this killing was wrong and they all want redress and accountability,” he said.

The attorney would not comment on why Good was protesting ICE activity but said that when the surge in federal agents took place she was "concerned" about what was going on.

Romanucci stressed that the family wants Minneapolis citizens to stay peaceful as they protest.

"They don't want to see violence because that's not Renee. Renee was not violent. Renee was good. That's what this whole mantra is. She was a good person, and so we don't want to see anything that resembles any destruction or violence,” he said.
