Minneapolis Mayor Accuses Feds of Playing Hide-and-Seek Over Neighbor’s Fatal Car Stop
KEY POINTS
- •On January 7, 2026, Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot in her car by an ICE officer during a local immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.
- •Mayor Jacob Frey publicly criticized the Trump administration for what he called ‘hiding the facts’ about the incident during a press conference two days later.
- •Minneapolis officials demanded that state investigators join the FBI inquiry into Good’s death amid protests and community pressure.
On January 7, 2026, Renee Nicole Good tragically died in her own car during an ICE crackdown in Minneapolis—a federal operation now rivaling a poorly scripted spy thriller. Mayor Jacob Frey, who moonlights as the city’s relentless fact-finder, publicly lambasted the Trump administration for its response, accusing them of 'hiding the facts,' which roughly translates to 'federal authorities playing peekaboo with truth.' Minneapolis officials, not content with just fussing over coffee, demanded state investigators join the FBI's inquiry, like adding more detective hats to an already confusing investigation. Meanwhile, the community’s protests provide the soundtrack to this bureaucracy symphony.

Minneapolis wants FBI and state agents on scene because apparently, one mystery investigation team just wasn’t ominous enough.
