ICE Agent Did Exactly What He Was Taught, But No One Knows What That Means
KEY POINTS
- •On January 7, ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, sparking controversy over use-of-force rules.
- •Secretary Kristi Noem defended the agent’s actions, claiming he followed his training despite unclear policy guidelines.
- •The FBI removed the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from the investigation, seeking a more federal-only review.
On January 7, 2026, Minneapolis became the epicenter of what sounds like the world’s most confusing episode of 'Law Enforcement: The Musical' when ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confidently declared the officer "did exactly what he was taught to do," because nothing says expert training like a dark abyss of confusion. Meanwhile, Border Czar Tom Homan and anonymous former DHS officials clapped politely for due process, reminding us all that "Anyone saying they know what happened is absolutely wrong." The DHS 'Use of Force' memo is basically a choose-your-own-adventure novel where deadly force is allowed not when a vehicle escapes, but maybe if it scares someone with things other than tires. And just when you thought things couldn’t get juicier, the FBI kicked Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension out of the investigation like a terrible party guest, promising a 'thorough and complete' inquiry that everyone’s definitely 100% excited for.

Apparently, following training just means doing things so confusing the investigators boot half the team from the case. Cozy.
The DHS force policy reads like a bad Tinder bio: 'I'm reasonable, unless you're driving or threatening me — in which case, may contain deadly force.'
Nothing says trustworthy investigation like kicked-out locals and a federal agency promising to be 'thorough and complete.' Spoiler: they didn’t say quick.
