(CNN) — The woman shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis is being remembered as a loving mother and partner whose family is shocked by the circumstances surrounding her death.

Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old US citizen, was killed when an ICE agent shot into her vehicle during an encounter Wednesday morning.

The shooting took place on a snow-lined street where an ICE vehicle had gotten stuck, according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. A “mob of agitators that were harassing them,” blocked them in and attempted to impede their efforts, Noem said.

One of those vehicles was being driven by the victim, who proceeded to “weaponize her vehicle” in an attempt to run over an officer before he opened fire, Noem said.

While Noem defended the agent’s actions, state and local officials strongly disputed claims that the shooting – which was caught on video – was done in self-defense.

The shooting has spiked already-heightened tensions in Minneapolis, where around 2,000 federal agents were deployed this week as part of the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown. The deployment came on the heels of accusations of welfare fraud in the Somali immigrant community raised by a conservative content creator on YouTube.

Here’s what we know about the woman killed in the ICE shooting:

Who was Renee Nicole Good?

Good lived in the Twin Cities with her partner, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported citing her mother, Donna Ganger.

“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” Ganger told the newspaper. “She was extremely compassionate.”

“She’s taken care of people all her life,” Ganger added. “She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”

Good was a mother to a 6-year-old child whose father died in 2023, according to the Star Tribune. “There’s nobody else in his life,” the child’s grandfather told the newspaper.

Good spent most of her life in Colorado and briefly moved to Kansas to live with her parents for a time after her husband – a military veteran – died, her father Tim Ganger told The Washington Post.

“She had a good life, but a hard life,” Tim Ganger told the Post. “She was a wonderful person.”

Speaking to CNN affiliate KMGH, Good’s uncle Robert Ganger, said news of his niece’s passing was especially difficult for the family since Good’s older sister was celebrating her bi

Los funcionarios de la administración Trump comenzaron este miércoles a delinear una estrategia improvisada para tomar el control indefinido de las ventas de petróleo de Venezuela, mientras se apresuran a mantener la estabilidad dentro de la nación después de derrocar a Nicolás Maduro.

El ambicioso plan de varias partes se centra en confiscar y vender millones de barriles de petróleo venezolano en el mercado abierto, y al mismo tiempo convencer a las empresas estadounidenses de realizar inversiones expansivas y a largo plazo destinadas a reconstruir la infraestructura energética del país sudamericano.

Estados Unidos mantendría el control sobre los ingresos iniciales generados por las ventas de petróleo, informaron funcionarios a legisladores y ejecutivos del sector energético, y su plan es garantizar que esos fondos “beneficien al pueblo venezolano”.

Sin embargo, apenas unos días después de que el presidente Donald Trump autorizara la captura de Nicolás Maduro y declarara que Estados Unidos estaba “a cargo”, quienes luchan por trazar un plan a largo plazo para el país aún enfrentan muchas más preguntas que respuestas.

“Estados Unidos enfrentará muchos desafíos si piensa que simplemente traerá empresas estadounidenses a Venezuela, que operarán y que revertirán la situación”, declaró una fuente de la industria del petróleo y el gas en contacto con altos funcionarios de Trump. “Esa no es la realidad”.

La visión presentada por altos funcionarios de Trump, encabezados por el Secretario de Energía Chris Wright y el Secretario de Estado Marco Rubio, representaría un ejercicio de control sin precedentes sobre los recursos petroleros de un país extranjero sin un cronograma claro ni garantía de éxito.

Esto plantea desafíos logísticos inmediatos, así como una serie de espinosos dilemas legales y de seguridad nacional, según entrevistas con diversas fuentes de la industria y legisladores, así como con funcionarios actuales y de la administración, amenazando con enredar a Estados Unidos en un complicado proyecto de política exterior que podría volverse políticamente desastroso.

Sin embargo, Wright y Rubio expresaron confianza el miércoles en su enfoque, y Rubio manifestó a los periodistas después de una reunión informativa clasificada en el Capitolio que la administración “no estaba simplemente improvisando”.

Wright, quien pasó el día en Miami reuniéndose con ejecutivos de la industria en una conferencia de Goldman Sachs, declaró a CNN que las empresas lo estaban bombardeando con preguntas como: “Estamos interesados. ¿Cómo podemos participar?”.

Pero cuando se les presionó para que explicaran los detalles de la estrategia, sólo ofrecieron un esbozo vago de una campaña que duró meses y que todavía parecía un trabajo en progreso.

Rubio, en reuniones informativas privadas y conversaciones con legisladores, ha enfatizado la importancia de las próximas semanas para gestionar la transición de Venezuela, incluyendo cortar el suministro de petróleo del país a los adversarios estadounidenses como Rusia y China y generar rápidamente ingresos que puedan usarse para mantener sus servicios críticos en funcionamiento.

El Gobierno planea supervisar la venta inicial de entre 30 y 50 millones de barriles de petróleo venezolano que ya se encontraban bajo sanciones, lo que generó una ganancia inesperada inicial que, según Rubio, se canalizaría de vuelta al país.

Con el tiempo, Estados Unidos vendería más petróleo a medida que se produzca, y las ganancias se destinarán a inversiones en Venezuela que los funcionarios consideran cruciales para mantener la estabilidad del Gobierno interino.
