An ICE officer fatally shot a woman Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis, according to the Department of Homeland Security. A U.S. official identified her as Renee Good. City leaders said the victim was a legal observer of federal actions in the city.
Nick Reiner was set to be arraigned on murder charges on Wednesday in the killing of his parents Rob and Michele Reiner. But his defense attorney, Alan Jackson, told the judge he could no longer represent the 32-year-old. After the hearing, Jackson said he couldn't say why he withdrew for legal reasons, but added, "Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder."
The House is set to vote on bipartisan legislation to fund several federal agencies and programs as lawmakers work to avert another government shutdown later this month.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said "the loss of a human life is a tragedy" as he spoke about the woman shot and killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday. He said tension has built up over ICE's presence and added "this was entirely predictable." O'Hara defended his officers, who he said are being put in the middle and trying to deescalate situations.
