GENEVA—The United Nations human rights office has called for an immediate and transparent investigation into the fatal shooting of a protester by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, expressing profound concern over the incident that occurred last Wednesday. UN spokesperson Jeremy Laurence emphasized during a Geneva briefing that international human rights standards permit the intentional use of lethal force solely as a last resort when an individual poses an imminent threat to life. The remarks followed the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent while in her vehicle. While acknowledging the ongoing FBI-led investigation, Laurence stressed the necessity for independence and promptness in the procedural review. He further urged authorities to implement measures aimed at deescalating rising tensions and avoiding rhetoric that could incite violence. The shooting has ignited national outrage and protests, with critics condemning the Trump administration’s characterization of Good as a ‘domestic terrorist’ and challenging the official narrative of self-defense. Local officials contend that video evidence contradicts claims that Good posed a threat, showing her vehicle turning away from the agent. The case has also drawn political criticism, particularly from Democratic officials, over the exclusion of local authorities from the investigation process.
