The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent injured by Renee Good prior to the fatal shooting in Minnesota yesterday, was himself the victim of a violent encounter with an illegal immigrant suspect just months ago. underscoring the perilous conditions faced by federal law enforcement officers in volatile immigration enforcement operations. The still unnamed agent’s recent car dragging resulted in over 30 stitches and serious injury to his leg, according to press briefing remarks by Vice President JD Vance.
Renee Good, 37, has a wife and three children. Law enforcement investigators maintain the Minnesota ICE protester drove her vehicle toward agents, effectively using it as a weapon. Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, and federal officials have defended the officer’s use of deadly force as justified self-defense, arguing that the woman’s actions presented an imminent threat. Renee Good allegedly had been following ICE agents around all day in an attempt to impeded their duties.

Governor Tim Walz is among the Democrat politicians who maintain “peaceful protests” against ICE should continue, but not violence. Yet, ICE supporters are quick to point out that blocking traffic and refusing to obey a lawful police order to disperse are criminal acts and not peaceful expression of First Amendment rights – and unfortunately place protestors into potentially deadly situations.
What has drawn intense attention — and support from Department of Homeland Security leadership — is the ICE agent’s own history of being seriously injured on the job during a traffic stop in June 2025. In that earlier incident, the same agent was dragged about 100 yards and hospitalized after an illegal immigrant suspect refused orders to exit his vehicle and attempted to flee.

The suspect in that case, identified as Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, had a criminal history that included domestic assault and sex crimes against a minor, prosecutors reported. When Munoz-Guatemala refused to comply with lawful instructions and attempted to drive off, the ICE agent’s arm became trapped in the vehicle, dragging him down the road and causing significant arm and hand injuries that required hospitalization.
After recovering fully from those injuries, the agent returned to duty and was later involved in the Minneapolis encounter. According to officials, he fired three shots at Good, striking her in the head after she allegedly began pulling forward as agents approached her vehicle during a snowy morning operation. Federal authorities maintain the shots were fired in self-defense to protect the agent and others on scene.
The tragic confrontation drew immediate national attention and renewed debate over ICE’s aggressive enforcement strategy under President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. Local officials — including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz — challenged the federal narrative, saying video evidence appears to show Good attempting to drive away rather than attack.
The earlier incident — where the agent was dragged and hospitalized by Munoz-Guatemala — was followed by a conviction of that suspect by a federal jury for assaulting the officer. That prosecution involved testimony about the violent attempt to flee while resisting lawful orders, and the court found sufficient evidence to hold Munoz-Guatemala accountable for the attack.
Law enforcement officials say the dual ICE incidents highlight the complexity and danger inherent in immigration enforcement work. Agents are routinely tasked with confronting individuals who may be desperate, unstable, or intent on resisting lawful orders.
Renee Good’s wife and supporters have condemned the ICE shooting, portraying her as a compassionate, peaceful woman who was not a threat. They point to her background as a poet, mother and new Minneapolis resident to argue that the force used against her was unnecessary and deadly.
