Federal officials say the officer who shot the woman acted in self-defense, while local leaders say this is government overreach gone too far.

An Immigration officer shot and killed a protester who officials said was attempting to drive into federal agents while conducting operations in Minnesota on Jan. 7, sparking unrest in the city.

A woman, identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, was driving an SUV and obstructing the road when agents approached her and asked her to exit the vehicle. She then tried to drive through them when agents opened fire, according to federal officials.
