The BBC reports:

A video filmed by the US immigration agent who fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday has emerged, showing the moments before gunfire rang out.

The gunfire didn’t “ring out”. Quite the contrary. There’s nothing bell-like about gunshots. End all stupid journalistic clichés.

The 47-second footage, obtained by Minnesota-based outlet Alpha News, shows Renee Nicole Good sitting behind the wheel of her car and speaking to the officer.

US Vice-President JD Vance shared the clip on social media, commenting that the agent had acted in self-defence. 

US VP lied, not for the first time.

The Trump administration says Good was blocking the road and impeding the work of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

A different clip is being shared today.

Guess who.

Did you guess?

Portland doesn’t want to be left out of the shooting civilians fun.

On Thursday, January 8, 2026, at 2:18 p.m., Portland Police Officers responded to the 10200 block of Southeast Main Street on a report of a shooting. Officers confirmed that federal agents had been involved in a shooting. Portland Police were not involved in the incident.

At 2:24 p.m., officers received information that a man who had been shot was calling and requesting help in the area of Northeast 146^th Avenue and East Burnside. Officers responded and found a male and female with apparent gunshot wounds. Officers applied a tourniquet and summoned emergency medical personnel. The patients were transported to the hospital. Their conditions are unknown. Officers have

The Feds are barring the Minnesota investigators, because the Feds don’t trust the state people to do whatever Trump tells them to do. Now there’s a surprise.

Mutual distrust between federal and state authorities derailed plans for a joint FBI and state criminal investigation into Wednesday’s shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE officer, leading to the highly unusual move by the Justice Department to block state investigators from participating in the probe.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said Thursday that after an initial agreement for the FBI to work with the state agency, as well as prosecutors from the US Attorney’s office in Minneapolis and the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, to investigate the shooting, federal authorities

On and on it goes, the obstinate refusal to obey the law because it’s only women who are harmed.

Bridget Phillipson is delaying the release of guidance which would bar transgender women from single-sex spaces by demanding the equalities regulator calculates how much it will cost businesses.

Is that a rule for all such guidance? No.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) submitted the guidance, which sets out how organisations should interpret a Supreme Court ruling from April on the definition of a woman, to Phillipson four months ago but she has yet to approve it.

The equalities minister has told the EHRC it must assess the financial impact of its guidance before it can be approved,

More on the shooting:

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 is Jonathan Ross, the same officer who was dragged and injured by a fleeing driver in a separate incident last year, according to a person with knowledge of the case and verified by court documents.

“He acted according to his training,” Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, told the Minnesota Star Tribune in an email, noting that this specific agent was selected for ICE’s Special Response Team, is an expert marksman and “has been serving his country his entire life.”

His training told him that trying to leave is the same thing as … Read the rest

The NY Times has an excellent analysis of who was where when the federal agent shot and killed the protester, complete with diagrams and slowed video.

The Washington Post headline:

ICE agent was not in the vehicle’s path when he fired at driver, video shows

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem said the woman had committed an act of “domestic terrorism,” first disobeying officers’ commands and then weaponizing her SUV by attempting to “run a law enforcement officer over.” President Donald Trump said the woman “violently, willfully and viciously ran over the ICE officer.”

A frame-by-frame analysis of video footage, however, raises questions about those accounts. The SUV did move toward the ICE agent as he stood in front of

This morning in reading bits of reporting on the Minneapolis events I thought at first there was a second video, taken from in front of the car instead of behind it, but the one being cited turned out to be the same one we all ran a billion times yesterday.

The trouble is, of course, that it’s from behind, so we can’t tell if there’s another cop in front of the car and that’s the cop she was (according to team Trump) trying to hit – or as Trump cautiously put it, actually ran over.

I still don’t know. I see talk of a second video, but if it exists it’s hiding itself with great cunning.

The struggle to stamp out women’s rights in Scotland continues.

SNP ministers are seeking a legal ruling declaring that implementing the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on sex would unlawfully trample on the human rights of transgender criminals.

While not implementing the court’s ruling on sex would merely trample on the human rights of women, and that obviously doesn’t matter at all. Women are garbage, while transgender criminals are infinitely sacred and precious and valuable.

Despite repeatedly insisting in public that they accept the judgment of Britain’s top court in April, ministers have privately requested that Scotland’s top civil court issues a “declaration of incompatibility” which would severely undermine it, if its other legal arguments fail.

Privately, as in secretly … Read the rest

Filthy liars.

Today, in an act of domestic terrorism, an anti-ICE rioter weaponized her vehicle against law enforcement. Our officer relied on his training and saved his own life, as well as the lives of his fellow officers. Sanctuary politicians have created an environment that encourages rampant assaults on law enforcement.

@POTUS Trump and @Sec_Noem will always have the backs of law enforcement.

Liars. She was leaving. … Read the rest

More destruction.

Trump said on Wednesday that the United States would withdraw from dozens of international and U.N. entities, including a key climate treaty and a U.N. body that promotes gender equality and women’s empowerment, because they “operate contrary to U.S. national interests.”

Among the 35 non-U.N. groups and 31 U.N. entities Trump listed in a memo to senior administration officials is the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change – described by many as the “bedrock” climate treaty which is parent agreement to the 2015 Paris climate deal.

The United States skipped the annual U.N. international climate summit last year for the first time in three decades.

“The United States would be the first country to walk away from

Whatever it takes to punish women.

SNP ministers are seeking a legal ruling declaring that implementing the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on sex would unlawfully trample on the human rights of transgender criminals.

Um, excuse me, what about the rights of women? There are a lot more women than there are transgender criminals. Maybe it’s worth paying attention to our rights too.

Despite repeatedly insisting in public that they accept the judgment of Britain’s top court in April, ministers have privately requested that Scotland’s top civil court issues a “declaration of incompatibility” which would severely undermine it, if its other legal arguments fail.

A declaration, if granted, would state that removing biologically male prisoners who say they identify as

NY Times live updates:

Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, said in a news conference that she will ask the Justice Department to prosecute the use of vehicles to block immigration enforcement operations as domestic terrorism.

Which is typical trumpian idiocy, because blocking people is the opposite of terrorism. Non-violent resistance is not terrorism.

Kristi Noem defended the use of deadly force by the federal agent and said that agency policy permitted an agent to fire on someone threatening officers with a deadly weapon, including a vehicle.

But she wasn’t threatening officers with her car, she was driving away. Maybe she had threatened them with her car earlier, I don’t know, but in those seconds before the Ice agent … Read the rest

The police say that’s not the way to do things.

NPR has reviewed multiple videos of the shooting taken from different vantage points and posted to social media. The footage shows multiple officers near an SUV stopped in the middle of the road. One officer demands the driver exit the vehicle and grabs the car [door] handle. The SUV reverses, then begins to drive forward, which is when a different officer near the front of the car pulls his weapon and fires into the vehicle. Three gunshots are heard, as the firing officer backs away from the SUV. Moments [seconds] later, the vehicle crashes.

In a statement, DHS spokesperson McLaughlin asserted that the motorist “weaponized her vehicle, attempting

Slowed down.

Cop 1 told her to get out of the fucking car, she drove slowly away a few feet, cop 2 pulled his gun and shot her in the face.

I don’t think they’re supposed to do that, even when provoked. Yes you’re supposed to do what the police ICE tell you, but no they’re not supposed to shoot you for little or no reason. Some of the police ICE agents were saying get out of here, and she appears to have been doing that.

Ok there is a clear video of what happened. A cop or agent fired straight into the woman’s car as she was driving away.

Victim signaled by passenger of arriving ICE pickup to leave. Yelled at to get out by another.

Victim panics, tries to flee.

Other agent kills with head shots.

Agent will say his life was in danger, so had to fire as trained.

In Minneapolis

An ICE officer fatally shot a woman Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis, according to Tricia McLaughlin, the Department of Homeland Security’s assistant secretary for public affairs.

…

McLaughlin claims the victim was “one of these violent rioters” who “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them — an act of domestic terrorism.”  

In a social media post, Democratic Minnesota U.S. Sen. Tina Smith said the victim was “a U.S. citizen.”

Clearly McLaughlin has learned her rhetorical style from Trump.

Witnesses tell WCCO whistles sounded to alert neighbors of ICE’s presence at about 9:30 a.m. Witnesses say they saw a Honda Pilot blocked by multiple federal agents, who soon

Jo Bartosch in the Telegraph:

It was an attack that stripped away the chintzy veil of victimhood that has long shielded the transgender movement, revealing well organised thuggery. Yesterday, Bash Back, the self-described “direct action project”, hacked the Free Speech Union (FSU) website and published the names of donors, alongside the sums they gave and the campaigns they supported.

The intention was unmistakable: to intimidate and punish private citizens after the FSU’s founder, Lord Young of Acton, commissioned a security report into the threat posed by the group. On Bash Back’s website, the activists make clear that more such actions are planned, welcoming visitors to “a new era of trans rage”.

Not new. The rage has been … Read the rest
