The federal agent at the center of the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis was previously dragged approximately 100 yards by a vehicle in a 2025 incident. This news comes as the country continues to debate what happened Wednesday morning in Minneapolis.
On Wednesday morning, Renee Nicole Good died after a confrontation with ICE that took place in Minneapolis. At the time of the incident, a large-scale surge of federal officers was conducting new immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota.
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Good “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism. An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.”
Good, a 37-year-old, was hit by the gunfire and later pronounced dead.
Senior federal officials such as Vice President JD Vance, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem have expressed their support for the ICE officer, saying he acted in self-defense. Similarly, President Donald Trump said the officer “seems to have shot [Good] in self defense.”
However, Democrats have strongly rejected the federal government’s explanation of the incident and urged federal agents to leave Minnesota.
Since the incident, federal authorities have said the very same federal agent had previously been dragged by a vehicle in a separate event. Now, it has been revealed that the officer was dragged in a 2025 altercation with Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala.
🚨UPDATE: The same federal agent involved in shooting was dragged more than 100 yards in this incident from June https://t.co/ieJ62JsQOh

Munoz-Guatemala, a non-citizen previously convicted of criminal sexual conduct involving a minor, was charged in June of 2025 with assaulting a federal officer.
According to court documents, federal authorities attempted to arrest Munoz-Guatemala in June of 2025 for unlawful entry into the United States. The criminal complaint says Munoz-Guatemala was pulled over, did not obey orders, attempted to flee in his vehicle, and the federal officer was dragged by Munoz-Guatemala’s car for approximately 100 yards.
That incident also occurred in Minnesota. The officer suffered severe injuries to his arm and hand which required 33 stitches. Last month, Munoz-Guatemala was formally convicted of assaulting a federal officer.
Alpha News reached out to DHS and ICE for this story but did not immediately hear back.
