Minneapolis ICE shooting: Police issue arrest order for downtown protesters

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The City of Minneapolis removed makeshift street barriers near the site of a fatal ICE shooting as protests continue and school districts across the Twin Cities metro close or shift to online learning amid heightened ICE activity. Meanwhile, a new video has surfaced that shows the ICE agent's perspective moments before the shooting.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was fatally shot by an ICE officer, identified as Jonathan Ross, on Wednesday morning. Federal officials claim self-defense, but local officials have disputed that claim after reviewing videos of the shooting. 

The killing has sparked protests in Minneapolis, which remained mostly peaceful during the day. A protest in downtown Minneapolis got heated, and police issued a dispersal order and an arrest order for protesters who remained. 

Meanwhile, ICE's presence in the Twin Cities has prompted some schools to close on Friday, and Minneapolis Public Schools will provide optional e-learning through Feb. 12. Protesters are calling for ICE to leave Minnesota, while educators are demanding ICE stay away from schools.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) has responded to the Hennepin County Attorney's Office's call for people to submit evidence on the fatal ICE shooting. 

Here is the statement from the BCA:

"At this time, the BCA is not conducting a use-of-force incident investigation into the Jan 7 ICE-involved shooting that resulted in the death of Renee Nicole Good. As we've previously said, full access to evidence, witnesses and information is necessary to meet the investigative standard that Minnesota law and the public demands; without it, we cannot do so. 

"However, we have offered to provide limited assistance to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office with the collection, cataloging and preservation of video or other evidence related to the incident, with the goal being to preserve evidence so that it is not lost.

"To be clear, the BCA will also provide this evidence to the FBI, as they are leading the investigation of the incident.

"The BCA remains open to conducting a full investigation of the incident should the U.S. Attorney’s Office and FBI reconsider their approach and express a willingness to resume a joint investigation or to share all evidence and evidentiary reports held by FBI investigators."

3 p.m. - Sen. Tina Smith at ICE shooting scene

U.S. Sen. Tina Smith visited the scene of the fatal ICE shooting Friday. 

Sen. Smith said it is heartbreaking to think of the terrible thing that happened at the scene, but is uplifted by the love, support and solidarity from the community. 

Sen. Smith is also calling for the federal government to include the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) in the investigation of the shooting. 

"It was really stunning to see the Secretary of Homeland Security say, within hours of this event [the shooting], declare Renee Good as a domestic terrorist when they didn't even know her name," Sen. Smith said. "And that completely puts to question their ability to do a fair investigation." 

When asked what the state's ability to investigate the shooting is, Sen. Smith said, "Well, it's really despicable because, of course, they can't control what investigation the state does, but they can withhold information and evidence, which would basically neuter the state's investigation." 

Sen. Smith also wants to focus on how Congress can provide oversight over the Department of Homeland Security, due to concerns about the training and preparation of the ICE agents.

11 a.m. - Hennepin County Attorney asks for public to share evidence

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison at a news conference on Friday, to demand an investigation is completed at a local level for transparency. 

Moriarty says a local investigation is not because there are concerns about the FBI investigation and are not an attack on the FBI. She wants a thorough investigation and for it to be fair to all involved. 

"While I respect the FBI's process, our community's expectations are much different in terms of transparency," Moriarty said. "The community, this community, expects to understand what the evidence is and the justification for any decision that might be made. To that end, I cannot overstate the importance of a local investigation, or at least access to the federal investigation by the BCA. Without it, we will not have the ability to be transparent with our community about the results of the expectation."

She added, "Our goal must be to ensure that a thorough investigation is completed at the local level, so that our community can have transparency."

Attorney General Ellison echoed similar sentiments. 

The Hennepin County Attorney's Office is asking for videos, evidence and contact information to be sent via this link so they can conduct a local investigation.
