Dozens Arrested at Minneapolis Protest Marking One Month Since Renee Good’s Killing

Active investigations are assessing whether the shootings met the legal standard for imminent danger.

Overview

  • Hennepin County authorities reported at least 42 arrests after police declared the gathering outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building unlawful.
  • Police said some demonstrators threw ice and damaged property, an officer was struck in the head, and a squad car windshield was smashed.
  • Hundreds attended a separate snowy park memorial for Renee Good and Alex Pretti led by Lakota spiritual leader Chief Arvol Looking Horse.
  • Bystander videos show an ICE agent firing at close range as Good’s SUV moved forward and, in Pretti’s case, officers shooting after one shouted “He has a gun.”
  • Border official Tom Homan announced the withdrawal of about 700 immigration agents from Minnesota as legal debates continue over federal immunity and possible state charges.
