WASHINGTON (TNND) — The ICE agent who fatally shot a Minnesota woman in her car Wednesday was previously injured after an illegal immigrant rammed his car into him and dragged the agent 50 yards across the road last summer, according to Vice President J.D. Vance.
In June, illegal immigrant and convicted child sex offender Roberto Carlos, attempted to flee federal officers during a traffic stop in Bloomington, Minnesota. Carlos struck the ICE agent and dragged him 300 feet. The ICE agent suffered significant cuts and received more than 30 stitches.
The agent targeted in the summer incident fatally shot Renee Good on Wednesday. His identity has not been disclosed.
Carlos was convicted by a jury in December of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous and deadly weapon which caused bodily injury.
During a Wednesday press conference in the wake of Good's death, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem alluded to the fact that the ICE officer who killed Good was previously injured by a vehicle in June 2025.
"The very same officer who was attacked today had previously been dragged by an anti-ICE rioter who had rammed him with a car and drugged him back in June,” Noem said. “He sustained injuries at that time as well."
Various videos taken of the encounter between Renee Good, the mother-of-three fatally shot, and the ICE agents, show Good’s Red Honda Pilot obstructing the middle of the road; meanwhile Good’s wife was shown outside the vehicle taping the encounter with her phone. ICE agents approached Good’s vehicle. The officers instructed Good to exit the vehicle, but instead she proceeded to drive her car while the officers were in her path.
Noem said that Good “weaponized her vehicle” against the ICE officers and committed “an act of domestic terrorism.”
“The ICE officer, fearing for his life and the other officers around him and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots,” Noem said. “He used his training to save his own life and that of his colleagues. He was treated at a local hospital, has been released and is now with family.”
Noem shared during the press conference that ICE agents have been victims to over 100 vehicular attacks in the recent weeks.
