The killing of a mother of three was a “tragedy of her own making,” the US vice president has said
The fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by an ICE agent was a “tragedy of her own making,” US Vice President J.D. Vance has said, throwing his full support behind the agency.
Graphic footage shows multiple Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) swarming the victim’s SUV. One of the agents attempts to forcibly open the vehicle’s door, while another agent, who tried to block the car from the front, fires several shots at the driver at point-blank range as she attempts to drive away. The victim, 37-year-old mother of three Renee Nicole Good, was killed on the spot.
Vance spoke out in support of ICE officers in the aftermath of the incident, which sparked mass protests across the country, warning the “radicals assaulting them, doxxing them, and threatening them” and vowing that the Trump administration will “work even harder to enforce the law.”

He also backed the agency’s assessment of the shooting, suggesting the victim was to blame. “You can accept that this woman’s death is a tragedy while acknowledging it’s a tragedy of her own making. Don’t illegally interfere in federal law enforcement operations and try to run over our officers with your car,” Vance wrote in a separate post.
The remarks echoed the stance taken by US President Donald Trump, who accused the deceased woman of trying to “viciously run over” the ICE agents. Trump’s critics, however, blamed the agents, pointing out that law enforcement officers are instructed not to stand in front of vehicles in such situations, and claiming that ICE has no place on the streets of the American cities in the first place.
Trump launched a crackdown on illegal immigration after taking office in January 2025, promising to carry out the largest ever deportation operation. The administration has repeatedly deployed ICE and other law enforcement agencies in American cities to hunt down illegals, sparking allegations of abuse of power and scapegoating of migrants.
