Following the fatal shooting of Renée Good by an ICE agent, the question of whether the officer can be prosecuted has arisen. Despite the Trump administration’s assertion of absolute immunity for the officer, legal expert Robert Bennett argues that ICE agents do not have such immunity and can be subject to state investigations, as supported by case law. Bennett highlights that the state of Minnesota has the right to prosecute the agent, though the FBI’s interference might complicate matters. He emphasizes that the use of deadly force must be objectively reasonable, and the fact that other officers did not fire their weapons could be damaging to the agent’s case.

These actions have sparked protests and calls for ICE’s removal from the state, with tribal leaders and community advocates expressing concerns about the targeting of Native communities and the lack of readily available data on ICE encounters. Several tribal organizations have issued statements condemning ICE’s actions and presence in Minneapolis, with some tribes now working to issue tribal IDs to all members ages five and up.
