There have been at least seven officer-involved shootings, two of them fatal, since President Trump surged Homeland Security agents in city-by-city operations in early 2025.
The big picture: ICE's presence isn't welcomed in some of the cities where it's operating. Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey said ICE agents should "get the f*ck out" on Wednesday after an ICE officer fatally shot a woman in the city.
- Videos show the 37-year-old driver, Renee Nicole Good, was shot as she drove past immigration agents.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told reporters Good was attempting "an act of domestic terrorism" and DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement Good "weaponized her vehicle … in an attempt to kill the agents."
- "That is bullshit," Frey said in response.
Below are other officer-involved shootings by DHS personnel over the past year, according to an Axios review of news clips and statements from the Department of Homeland Security.
