US-Immigration-Enforcement-Minnesota-Shooting Rules
What to know about the rules for officers firing at a moving vehicle
SUMMARY: A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a woman in a moving vehicle in Minneapolis this week, sparking renewed questions about use-of-force rules. Most police departments and federal guidance bar shooting at a moving vehicle unless the driver poses an imminent threat beyond the vehicle itself. Experts say firing at vehicles is especially dangerous because stray bullets or a driver losing control can put bystanders at risk. Justice Department policy says deadly force is justified only when no reasonable alternative exists, including stepping out of the way. Officers can’t use lethal force just to stop or arrest someone who isn’t an immediate threat.

The Latest: State investigators say they can’t access ICE shooting evidence after FBI takes case
SUMMARY: The head of Minnesota’s state investigations agency says the U.S. attorney’s office has barred it from taking part in the investigation into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer’s fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman. Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans said in a statement Thursday that after the agency consulted with the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the U.S. attorney’s office and the FBI following Wednesday’s shooting of 37-year-old mother of three Renee Good, “it was decided that the BCA Force Investigations Unit would conduct a joint investigation with the FBI.” He said the FBI informed the BCA later Wednesday that the U.S. attorney’s office had changed the plan.

US–Vance-Minneapolis
Vance calls killing of Minneapolis woman by an ICE officer ‘a tragedy of her own making’
SUMMARY: Vice President JD Vance is blaming a federal immigration officer’s fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman on “a left-wing network,” Democrats, the news media and the woman who was killed. Vance said Thursday he wasn’t worried about prejudging the investigation into the death of 37-year-old Renee Good. He said the videos he’d seen of the Wednesday incident show that “What you see is what you get in this case.” He said he was sad about her death but called her “brainwashed” and “a victim of left-wing ideology.” Vance also said the administration would name a prosecutor to investigate fraud in government assistance programs, starting in Minnesota.

Immigration-Enforcement-Minnesota-Jurisdiction
Fatal ICE shooting sparks jurisdiction clash between state and federal authorities
SUMMARY: Fights over which agencies will be involved in the investigation into the fatal shooting of a woman by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis are roiling as calls for a thorough investigation and accountability mount. Experts say the conflict Thursday between Minnesota officials and federal authorities exemplifies the complicated question of whether a federal agent performing a federally sanctioned operation can be criminally charged by a state. Federal authorities have blocked the participation of Minnesota officials in the investigation. In the past year as they have deployed a growing number of federal agents into cities across the country, many for immigration crackdowns, federal officials have said agents are immune from state prosecution while performing those duties.

US–Trump-Minnesota-Tensions
ICE shooting reinforces Minnesota’s grim role as Trump’s target
SUMMARY: This week’s fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an immigration agent had grim echoes in Minnesota. It took place in a state that’s seen daily conflicts with the Trump administration. And it happened only a few blocks from the site of the police killing of George Floyd in 2020. That slaying sparked the biggest civil unrest of Trump’s first term. The president often talks about how protests over Floyd’s death needed to be met with more force. That approach is what led to the administration announcing the launch of its biggest immigration operation ever in Minnesota this week.

Family and neighbors mourn woman who was shot by ICE agent and made Minneapolis home
SUMMARY: The woman shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis was a U.S. citizen and mother of a 6-year-old. In social media accounts, 37-year-old Renee Good described herself as a poet, writer, wife and mom. Trump administration officials painted Good as a domestic terrorist who attempted to ram federal agents with her car. Her mother told a Minnesota newspaper her daughter wasn’t involved in protests against the administration’s immigration crackdown. She said her daughter was compassionate and took care of others all her life.

US–Immigration Enforcement-Minnesota-What to Know
What to know about the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE officer in Minneapolis
SUMMARY: Protesters have confronted federal officers in Minneapolis the day after a woman was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. Border Patrol officers fired tear gas and used pepper spray to push back demonstrators Thursday outside a Minneapolis federal building. The protests came amid heightened tensions after President Donald Trump’s administration dispatched 2,000 officers and agents to Minnesota for its latest immigration crackdown. The killing of 37-year-old Renee Good on Wednesday set off a clash between federal and state officials over whether the shooting appeared justified and whether a Minnesota law enforcement agency has jurisdiction to investigate.

Immigration Enforcement-Minnesota-Videos
Minnesota shooting videos challenge administration narrative, policing experts question tactics
SUMMARY: Federal officials say an immigration officer acted in self-defense when he shot through the window of a car, killing the driver, Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three in Minneapolis. But videos of the incident from different angles tell a far more complicated story, and policing experts say some of the choices the officer made defy practices nearly every law enforcement agency have followed for decades. The video shows the officer was safely on the side of the vehicle and stepped in front of it, a choice experts say is against policy most law enforcement agencies. He then fires three shots at the moving vehicle, also prohibited by most agencies. It is not clear if he is grazed by the car.

SUMMARY: Anger and outrage are spilling out onto Minneapolis’ streets over the fatal shooting of a woman the day before by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. A new shooting by federal agents in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday left two people inside a vehicle wounded and is eliciting more scrutiny of enforcement operations throughout the U.S. Hundreds of protesters marched Thursday night down one of Minneapolis’ major thoroughfares over the death of 37-year-old mother of three Renee Good and blocked off the street where she was shot in the head. The FBI is investigating the shooting in Portland. The conditions of the man and woman who were wounded were not immediately known.

SUMMARY: The agent who fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis is an Iraq War veteran who has served for nearly two decades in the Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Court documents obtained Thursday by The Associated Press show Jonathan Ross was injured last summer when he was dragged by a suspect’s moving vehicle. Federal officials have not publicly named the officer who shot Good. But Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem said the agent had been dragged by a vehicle last June, and a department spokesperson confirmed Noem was referring to a Bloomington, Minnesota, case that identified the injured officer as Ross in court documents.

Luigi Mangione in court as he fights to block death penalty, murder charge and key evidence
SUMMARY: Luigi Mangione is in federal court for a pivotal hearing in his fight to bar the government from seeking the death penalty against him in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Garnett has said she also plans to set a trial date during Friday’s proceeding. Mangione’s lawyers contend that authorities prejudiced his case by turning his December 2024 arrest into a “Marvel movie” spectacle and by publicly declaring their desire to see him executed even before he was formally indicted. The charge that has enabled the government to seek the death penalty is murder by firearm. His attorney’s say it’s legally flawed. Federal prosecutors say Mangione’s lawyers are wrong.

Federal officers are leaving Louisiana immigration crackdown for Minneapolis, documents show
SUMMARY: Documents obtained by The Associated Press show that federal border agents are pulling out of a Louisiana immigration crackdown and heading to Minneapolis. The shift appeared to signal a wind down of the Louisiana deployment that began in December and had been expected to last into February. The Trump administration has begun surging thousands of federal officers to Minnesota under a sweeping new crackdown that is tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents. The Department of Homeland Security would not say Friday whether the Louisiana operation was ending in order to send officers to Minnesota.

SUMMARY: The Trump administration has frozen funds for programs including child care subsidies and cash assistance and job training for poor families with children. The administration says it’s rooting out fraud, but some state leaders say the motivation is political, with five Democratic-led states a special focus of attention. Money is on hold for California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York until the states produce data, including personal information on recipients in some cases. Those states have sued to challenge the demands. All states must provide more information on their use of money that subsidizes child care for poor families.

Moriarty said Friday that although her office has collaborated effectively with the FBI in past cases, the Trump administration’s decision to keep the investigation into Wednesday’s killing of Good by an ICE officer in federal hands concerns her. She said she’s worried that the FBI won’t share evidence with state investigators. She also said her office is responsible for the investigation, despite the Trump administration’s decision to assign it solely to the FBI.

The community is also responding to the fatal shooting of a local woman earlier this week by a federal agent. Parents and educators say immigration enforcement in cities across the U.S. has led to dips in school attendance. The virtual learning option will be available through Feb. 12.

US–Trump-DEI Cuts-Water
Poor communities threatened by aging sewers see crucial aid slashed under Trump
SUMMARY: Deep funding cuts under President Donald Trump will make it more difficult for struggling communities to get help to fix sewer systems that put health and homes at risk. Cuts include grants, loans and technical help promised by the Biden administration to address racial and economic disparities. The cuts threaten to widen infrastructure inequality. Many cuts are part of Trump’s war on diversity, equity and inclusion. That includes a $14 million grant to help install septic systems in several majority-Black Alabama counties where many residents must pipe sewage from their homes onto their own property because it has nowhere else to go.

Luck said Salsburey passed multiple background checks and a pre-employment drug test and never failed a drug screening.
