A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renée Nicole Good in south Minneapolis on January 7 during a large federal immigration enforcement operation. Federal officials say the agent fired after claiming Good attempted to drive her vehicle into officers, but video shared online and multiple eyewitness accounts do not clearly show her targeting agents. Local leaders — including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who has told ICE to leave the city, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz — have strongly rejected the federal self-defense narrative and called for accountability. The incident has sparked protests and intensified debate over federal use of force and immigration enforcement tactics.

Russia has carried out a large-scale missile and drone strike on Ukraine, including the reported use of its hypersonic Oreshnik missile. Ukrainian officials say the attack targeted energy and military infrastructure, causing damage and casualties, while Russia has described the strike as a response to Ukrainian actions. The launch marks a notable escalation due to the weapon’s speed and limited interception capability.
