Jonathan Turley Says ICE Agent Appeared To Be In His Rights To Shoot At Vehicle Attempting To Run Him Over At Minneapolis Protest
By Nicole Silverio (DCNF)- All News Pipeline
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said on Thursday that footage shows the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent appeared to be within his rights to open fire at the vehicle in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
An ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good inside her vehicle after she obstructed a federal immigration enforcement operation and began to drive away. Turley said on Fox & Friends that legal precedent likely justifies the shooting since the vehicle may be treated as a weapon.
The fact is that under the standard of Tennessee v. Garner, this does appear to be a justified shooting. It doesnt mean thats how its going to work out. We need to see the ultimate conclusions of the investigation. It would be good to see some more videos. But what we have so far does seem to meet that standard, Turley said.
Tennessee v. Garner, which was decided in March 1985,concludedthat a police officer has a right to use deadly force against a fleeing suspect if they believe the individual poses a dangerous threat to officers and others.

Turley added that he expects there to be several civil lawsuits brought by Goods family in connection to this case. He argued that did not believe that Goods obstruction of the ICE operation was the behavior of a legal observer.
Ive represented legal observers at protests and I have to say, this is not the conduct of a legal observer. This is someone who is obstructing, Turley said. This is someone who is a participant.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noemstatedon Wednesday that the ICE agent had previously been rammed and dragged by a car in June. There had been 28 vehicular attacks against ICE agents between Jan. 20, 2025 and November 2025, resulting in a 1,300% increase in that specific type of attack, DHSreportedin November.
Noem added that the surge in violent attacks against ICE agents has reached an intolerable level, as assaults have reportedly increased by 1,150% as of November 2025,accordingto DHS.
