MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota — The White House on Friday released a new video showing the perspective of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Macklin Good earlier this week, escalating debate over whether the officer acted in self-defense.
The footage, first obtained by Alpha News and later shared by the White House, shows the officer approaching Good’s vehicle as she appears calm, with her hands visible and the driver’s side window down. In the video, Good can be heard telling the officer, “That’s alright dude, I’m not mad at you,” while another woman nearby taunts the officer verbally. At no point in the clip does Good appear to verbally threaten law enforcement.
As the officer moves around the vehicle, he is heard repeatedly shouting profanity-laced commands for Good to exit the car. The video does not capture the precise moment shots were fired, but audio records multiple gunshots as the camera jolts. When the view stabilizes, Good’s vehicle is seen driving away before crashing into a parked car down the street.
Vice President JD Vance shared the video online, arguing it proves the officer’s life was endangered and that the shooting was justified. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has also maintained that the officer was struck by the vehicle.
Minneapolis officials and several Democrats dispute that claim, citing other video angles and a New York Times analysis suggesting the officer was not in the vehicle’s path when the first shots were fired. Federal guidelines generally prohibit officers from firing at moving vehicles except under narrowly defined circumstances, further fueling calls for an independent investigation.
