A video taken from the phone of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 has emerged, showing the encounter leading up to the shooting.
Sirens blaring and the honking of cars can be heard in the background, and a black dog is shown sitting in the rear seat of Good’s maroon SUV.
As the ICE agent moves past Good to film the license plate, Good tells him, “That’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you,” with her left arm hanging out the window.
Another woman, later identified as Good’s wife, was seen standing nearby filming on her cellphone. She tells the agent, “That’s okay, we don’t change our plates every morning just so you know. It will be the same plate when you come talk to us later.”
She continued, “You want to come at us? You want to come at us? I say go and get yourself some lunch, big boy.”
At this point, another ICE agent approaches the SUV from the driver’s side and repeatedly tells Good to “get out of the car.” Good’s wife then tries to get into the passenger seat, but the door won’t open.
The agent filming on his phone then walks to the front of Good’s SUV as she briefly reverses and then turns the steering wheel to drive forward. The camera tilts upward, and the agent is heard shouting, and multiple shots ring out.
“Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn’t hit by a car, wasn’t being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman,” he said. “The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense.”
“How could anyone on the planet watch this video and conclude what [Vance] says below? ... We demand justice now.”
Earlier this week, DHS said it launched what it described as the largest immigration enforcement operation ever carried out by the agency, with around 2,000 federal agents and officers expected in the Minneapolis area.
