Keystone Kash is on the case.
The FBI on Thursday took over the investigation into an ICE officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a U.S. citizen, revoking Minnesota officials’ access to evidence — deepening outrage and confusion in Minneapolis.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said it was sidelined after initially being called in to help, exposing a chaotic federal response led by Trump ally Kash Patel, now Homeland Security’s top legal official.
Renee Nicole Good was shot multiple times by a federal ICE agent during a major immigration raid in Minneapolis Wednesday. Trump officials — with zero evidence — claimed she tried to run over agents. Video shows the agent unharmed.
The city canceled schools Thursday, and protests are spreading nationwide.
Kash Patel, a key Trump loyalist and January 6 coup plotter, helped oversee the operation — which ballooned into a surge of 2,000 ICE agents targeting immigrant communities in Minnesota.
Now, with the FBI pushing out local investigators, even basic transparency is collapsing. The Minnesota BCA said it was “reluctantly” withdrawing after being cut off from case materials.
Local leaders are furious. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said ICE is “terrorizing” residents and that DHS’s “self-defense” spin is “bullsh*t.”
Video undermines absurd federal claims: the ICE agent wasn’t injured and walked away after the crash. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s claim the victim was “stalking” agents also isn’t backed up.
This is Trump’s America in action — armed raids in immigrant communities, lies from the top, and chaos at every level.
Kash Patel, now one of the most powerful people in Trump’s DHS, can’t seem to coordinate a basic investigation, let alone justify why a woman was shot dead in broad daylight by a federal agent.
Protests are planned in cities nationwide. In Minneapolis, residents — especially Somali immigrants — say they feel hunted. Activists say this is just the beginning of mass resistance to Trump’s renewed war on immigrants.
