Chaos descended on Minneapolis Thursday after an anti-ICE activist was shot and killed by federal immigration officers after she allegedly attempted to mow one of them down with her SUV, dramatic video shows.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot dead by an ICE agent on East 34th Street and Portland Avenue, with footage from the scene appearing to show her striking the officer with her car before he opened fire through the vehicle’s window.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz authorized the state National Guard to back up local law enforcement “out of an abundance of caution” as protests escalated in Minneapolis.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that 11 agitators were arrested during demonstrations outside the Whipple Federal Building in Downtown Minneapolis.

DHS boasted that it is “accelerating” operations in Minneapolis as it floods the city with extra law enforcement officers following the deadly shooting of Good, who was gunned down less than a mile from where George Floyd was killed in 2020.

President Trump and Homeland Security officials said the unidentified agent who opened fire did so in self-defense after being struck by Good’s car.

“See you on the streets!” DHS added, in defiance to Mayor Jacob Frey’s furious Wednesday remarks to ICE to “get the f–k out.”

Embattled Gov. Walz later announced that Friday would be a “day of unity” and requested “a moment of silence” at 10 a.m. to remember Renee Good.”

All public schools in Minneapolis are closed for the rest of the week over fears of further anti-ICE protests.

Tren de Aragua gangbangers shot while trying to mow down feds in Portland id'd as illegal criminals released by Biden admin

The married Tren de Aragua gangbangers who were shot after they tried to mow down ICE agents in Portland were let loose by the Biden administration despite lengthy rap sheets, Homeland Security officials said.

A CBP agent opened fire on Venezuelan gangsters Luis David Nico Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras after they “weaponized” their car fleeing a traffic stop Thursday, said a DHS statement.

Yesterday, two suspected Tren de Aragua gang associates—let loose on American streets by Joe Biden—weaponized their vehicle against Border Patrol in Portland. The agent took immediate action to defend himself and others, shooting them.

Moncada, a suspected Tren de Aragua gang member, entered the US illegally in 2022 but was released by the Biden administration, the Department of Homeland Security announced Friday.

Since being cut loose, he’s been busted for drunk driving, unauthorized use of a vehicle and has a final order of removal, the agency said.

Zambrano-Contreras allegedly “played an active role in a Tren de Aragua prostitution ring,” according to DHS. She entered the US in 2023 near El Paso, Texas, and was also let go by the Biden administration. She was involved in a previous shooting in Portland, DHS said.

Comedian John Mulaney accused of 'virtue signaling' after canceling Minneapolis shows in wake of Renee Nicole Good ICE shooting

By Nikki Mascali Roarty

John Mulaney was accused of "virtue signaling" after the comedian canceled his weekend shows in Minneapolis after activist mom Renee Nicole Good was gunned down by a federal agent.

"My shows at the Armory this weekend will be postponed. What’s happening in your city is heartbreaking. I hate to postpone shows in a town going through such awful challenges and such grief, because it feels unfair to the audience," he wrote on X.

"Still, I don’t feel comfortable asking thousands of people each night to leave their homes, gather at the venue, and then make their way home when the situation is so unsafe," the former "Saturday Night Live" writer continued.

The Minnesota city has been thrown into chaos after Good, 37, was gunned down by a federal agent she clipped with her SUV Wednesday morning as Immigration and Customs Enforcement carried out an operation.

"I am sorry to anyone who is disappointed. I know a fun stand-up show could be a nice distraction, but it doesn't sit right with me to put anyone at risk," the "Big Mouth" voice actor concluded.

Social media users quickly panned the "Mulaney" creator.

"This virtue signal is so 2021. Now you just look like a coward," one snarked, while another wrote, "Oh look another celebrity virtue signaling to leftists. What a breath of fresh air."

"Why reinforce a perception that their city is 'unsafe'? It’s fine to postpone, but you’re calling a city unsafe is questionable," another said.

Others, however, supported Mulaney's decision as "respectful," with one saying it was a "smart move."

"Probably a good decision. Thank you for being reasonable," another responded.

Mulaney said that tickets will be honored for their rescheduled dates in April.

Hundreds of anti-ICE protesters — including one who was arrested — descended upon Foley Square in New York City Thursday night to demonstrate against the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a federal agent.

The 37-year-old activist mom of three was gunned down after videos showed her clipping a federal agent with her SUV Wednesday morning in Minneapolis, where Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities were carrying out an operation.

Protests erupted across the nation in the wake of her death, including in the Big Apple, where some demonstrators carried signs bearing Good's name. Another hoisted a placard that read, "ICE is the new SS," comparing the agency to Adolf Hitler's paramilitary organization.

They also chanted, "Kristi Noem will hang," referring to the Department of Homeland secretary, and "Save a life, kill an ICE," according to videos shared on social media.

Photos taken by The Post showed one protester shouting as she stood before NYPD cops while another's sign also featured a white rose.

Minnesota Timberwolves hold moment of silence for Renee Nicole Good before game — as cheers erupt when fan shouts, 'Go home ICE'

By Caitlin McCormack

The Minnesota Timberwolves held a moment of silence for Renee Nicole Good just before the NBA team's Thursday night game — and the crowd erupted in cheers after a rogue fan jeered at ICE.

The Timberwolves hosted the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Target Center, located in the heart of Minneapolis and roughly three miles away from the protests roiling the city.

At the start of the game, the Timberwolves requested a moment of silence for Good, an activist mom who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Wednesday morning.

The jumbotron featured a black-and-white picture of the memorial, which was erected at the site where Good died. The spot is adorned with flowers and a few electric candles.

Both teams stood in a circle around the court. Some bowed their heads, while others looked up at the display on the screen, according to an X post by Zone Coverage Minnesota reporter Charlie Walton.

One fan then cried out, "Go home ICE," in the middle of the somber moment, he wrote.

The stadium erupted in raucous applause as others echoed the person's rally cry.

Since the shooting on Wednesday morning, federal authorities doubled down on operations in Minneapolis and flooded the city with more officers.

Gov. Walz announces 'day of unity,' voluntary 'moment of silence' for Renee Nicole Good

By Caitlin McCormack

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced that Friday will be marked as a "day of unity" and requested that people take "a moment of silence" statewide near the 48-hour mark of when Renee Nicole Good was gunned down by an ICE agent.

Walz ordered "a moment of silence" at 10 a.m. Friday "to remember Renee Good" and "all that's good and right about this nation" in a video posted on his X account Thursday evening.

Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday when federal authorities allege she tried to "weaponize" her vehicle against the officers.

Walz requested that employers "give their people some space" during the moment of silence and implored others to "show the goodness" through charitable deeds, like "shoveling their neighbor's walk."

The contested governor also reissued a call for "Minnesota authorities to carry out this investigation" into Good's death and for officials to "pull back this unnecessary search."

He also reminded the public to maintain "peace" as they take to the streets to protest.

"We are not going to go quietly, and we're not going to give up on those things that matter to us, and chief amongst those is human dignity, respect, rule of law, all of the things that we know make this country great," Walz concluded.

Earlier Thursday, the governor authorized the Minnesota National Guard to assist local and state officials as protests started to spiral. One outside the Whipple Federal Building that quieted down by Thursday evening saw 11 arrests, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Numerous others donated gifts of $1,000 or more.

"The only solace is seeing how many people are trying to help and holding her memory in their hearts. This atrocity will not be forgotten," one giver wrote.

"I hope that one day we will see justice."

Former Minnesota Gov. and pro wrestler Jesse Ventura 'proud' of Minneapolis protesters, says he's 'owed' second term

By Caitlin McCormack

Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura boasted that he's "proud" of the Twin Cities' protesters who "stood up for what is supposed to be America and freedom" — and hinted at a possible run for reelection.

Ventura, 74, was a single-term governor who voluntarily elected not to seek reelection in 2003. Before launching his short-lived political career, he was better known as pro-wrestler Jesse "The Body" Ventura in the WWE.

He ran as a member of the centrist Reform Party, and never shied away from bashing both sides of the aisle — as he did throughout his book "DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans: No More Gangs in Government."

Ventura, still seething from reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials' crackdown at his alma mater, Roosevelt High School, told Fox 9 that he's "owed a second" term.

"We're a country of the Constitution. We have leadership now that has destroyed the Constitution. They don't follow it, they couldn't care less about it. Am I right or wrong? I took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I view after Jan. 6, the Republican Party is a domestic enemy to our Constitution. I can't get any colder than that, can I?" he said.

"You wanna know something? I'll give you a quote. We're a third-world country now. You wanna know why? I'm an expert; I've been to one. I spent 17 months in Southeast Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf. You know how I know we're a third-world country? Because in third-world countries, they have the military doing police work in the cities while you walk around," he added.

The former wrestler added that he fully backs Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, whom he endorsed for reelection 2022, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

Exclusive: Renee Nicole Good was Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch’ ‘warrior’ who trained to resist feds before shooting

By Chris Nesi and Natalie O'Neill

MINNEAPOLIS — Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.

“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.

Eleven protesters arrested outside Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis: DHS

By Caitlin McCormack

At least 11 protesters were arrested during demonstrations outside of the Whipple Federal Building in Downtown Minneapolis Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed.

DHS assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin told NBC News in a statement that "600 rioters" descended on the federal building, which serves as a base for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents separate from the field office in St. Paul.

McLaughlin said that the protesters were "assaulting and spitting on federal law enforcement and were blocking law enforcement vehicles from entering the facility," according to a statement from the department.

She said that 11 people were arrested on assault and obstruction charges.

A video shared on X earlier Thursday showed a detained man being led away from the federal building after he was seen chucking a bottle at federal officers. It's unclear if he was one of the 11 arrested.

Protesters, officers clash again outside Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis

By Caitlin McCormack

Protesters and federal officers were seen clashing outside the Whipple Federal Building in Downtown Minneapolis late Thursday afternoon — just as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz authorized the state National Guard to be ready to support local law enforcement.

A swarm of camo-clad officers encroached on protesters as they milled about the federal building parking lot, according to a video posted on X.

Then, a larger group of officers took off running after fleeing protesters, with some firing pepper balls at their backs, the footage shows.

One man wearing a bright orange coat was pinned to the ground by multiple officers and led away from the building with his hands cuffed behind his back.

It's unclear if he was formally arrested or detained, and what for.

Protesters repeatedly shouted "Nazis" at the agents while they led the man down the street, according to the video.

A mix of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents have manned the protests near the federal building.
