Emily Heller describes chaotic ICE standoff that led to Nicole Renee Good’s death

Emily Heller, a witness to the Minneapolis ICE shooting, spoke to CNN, providing a detailed account of how the tragic incident unfolded. She described an 'ICE convoy' that had become stuck in the road while the woman who was shot blocked traffic, preventing the convoy from going ahead.

She recalled, "I heard whistles, which is a common sign ICE is nearby. I went out under my front porch. I didn't even have shoes on and within 60 seconds, um, everything had already gone down. There was an ICE convoy that seemed to be stuck. And then, um, there was a protester who was blocking traffic so they couldn't progress."

She continued, "But there was an ICE convoy that seemed to be stuck. And then there was a protester who was blocking traffic, so they couldn't progress. And, she was totally peaceful. That's when an ICE agent stepped in front of her vehicle and said stop. And then, I mean, she was already moving and then point blank shot her through her windshield in the face."

Heller sharply criticized the ICE agent’s actions: "It seemed completely unorganized. They didn't really know what they were doing. They were screaming at her to move, move, and then they approached her vehicle aggressively and grabbed, tried to open her door. And then that's when she got spooked, and she reversed her vehicle, uh, to turn her wheels to try to escape."

She blasted the ICE, calling the agents 'children'. "The ICE agents, other ICE agents, surrounded him. He was obviously spooked, too. They seem like children. They seem like untrained people, and so that agent was obviously spooked because he had just killed someone, and it was very obvious to everyone who had witnessed at all that she would not make it."

Heller added, "They kind of gathered around him, and then there was a gold SUV that came, and they put him in it and got him out of there because everyone knew he had murdered someone."

ICE operation in Minneapolis ends in tragedy

According to the Department of Homeland Security, ICE agents were conducting a targeted operation when they encountered Good in her SUV. DHS reports that she was among several individuals who allegedly used their vehicles to block the road, preventing agents from advancing.

Hours after the shooting, Good was identified by her mother. Speaking to the Star Tribune, Donna Ganger remembered her daughter as 'one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.'
