Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Wednesday put his state’s National Guard on standby—and the Trump administration on notice—after a federal immigration officer fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis.
Walz, a Democrat who was former Vice President Kamala Harris‘ running mate in the 2024 election, said during a press conference that he issued a warning order to the Minnesota National Guard, which means troops are preparing for a possible mobilization.
This, after a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed a woman later identified by her mother as Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old US citizen and mother of a 6-year-old whose father died in 2023.
Good was killed Wednesday morning while driving a sport utility vehicle in south Minneapolis during heightened ICE operations in the Twin Cities. The US Department of Homeland Security and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said Good was shot in self-defense while committing “an act of domestic terrorism.”
