Nearly seven months before an federal immigration officer opened fire on a woman accused of trying to ram him with her car, he was brutally dragged by an illegal immigrant sex offender he was trying to take off the streets.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer opened fire Wednesday as a woman said to be blocking a road they were attempting to pass through didn’t get out of her car, as the federal agents instructed, before she reversed her vehicle and pulled forward. One video appeared to show the ICE officer, who has more than ten years of experience, fatally shooting the woman after her vehicle made contact with him.

The Trump administration has defended the ICE officer’s actions, saying the woman, who has since been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, “weaponized” her vehicle to plow down the agent.

Democratic politicians, however, have accused the ICE officer of “murdering” Good. And protestors have formed angry mobs in Minneapolis to display their outrage with the ICE officer’s response.

This morning, an ICE agent murdered a woman in Minneapolis—only the latest horror in a year full of cruelty.

As ICE attacks our neighbors across America, it is an attack on us all. New York stands with immigrants today, and every day that follows.

In June, that same ICE officer was the victim of a brutal assault where he was dragged roughly 100 yards down a Minnesota street as he was chasing down an illegal immigrant convicted of “repeatedly sexually abusing his 16-year-old stepdaughter,” according to court documents.

At the time, the ICE officer made multiple attempts to deescalate the situation and give the suspect a chance to comply with his orders, the court documents reveal.

Guatemalan illegal immigrant Roberto Carlos Munoz was out in the community after local authorities flouted a federal detainer and released him from custody.

Federal agents waited for Munoz to pull out of his driveway at his home in Bloomington, Minnesota, before pulling him over, according to the court documents. The ICE officer pulled diagonally in front of Munoz’s vehicle as an FBI agent turned on his lights to prompt him to pull over.

That forced him to stop.

The ICE officer, alongside the FBI agent, then pulled behind the illegal immigrant’s vehicle, approached him, and identified themselves as federal law enforcement. The ICE officer was also donning a patch that read “POLICE” on his vest.

The officers had their weapons drawn as a precaution since Munoz initially refused to pull over.

When Munoz raised his hands, the ICE officer holstered his gun while the FBI agent kept his out, but aimed it down.

The ICE officer walked up to Munoz’s window and ordered him in both English and Spanish to put the car in park.

Munoz failed to do so and instead rolled down his window a third of the way down. At that point, the ICE officer asked him for identification, which Munoz held up to the window.

After that, Munoz placed his car in park. The ICE officer asked Munoz to roll his window all the way, which he refused to do.

That’s when the ICE officer pulled out his taser and pointed it at Munoz’s chest. Still, Munoz refused to lower the window fully and didn’t comply with orders to open the car door.

The ICE officer warned Munoz in both English and Spanish that he would break the window if he continued to ignore him. The illegal immigrant continued to dig in his heels, forcing the ICE officer to break the rear driver’s side window “to avoid covering Munoz in broken glass.”

The ICE officer then reached into the car and tried to unlock the driver’s side door as he continued pointing the taser at Munoz.

While the ICE officer’s arm was in the car, Munoz proceeded to put the car in drive before turning the wheel to the right to go around the vehicle in front of him and driving onto a curb, accelerating rapidly.

As Munoz proceeded “at a high rate of speed,” the ICE officer was dragged along with his arm stuck in the car.

That led the ICE officer to fire his taser at Munoz. Despite being struck twice with the electric charge, Munoz “was undeterred” and continued driving away as the ICE officer “screamed.”

Munoz then began weaving his vehicle in an attempt to shake the ICE officer away. The officer was ultimately able to break free when Munoz got off the curb and returned to the street where they were initially situated.

The illegal immigrant continued to flee. Authorities were eventually able to arrest Munoz, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

The ICE officer was hospitalized and received 20 stitches in his right arm and 13 in his left arm.

Munoz was later convicted of assaulting a federal officer.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers nabbed 54 members and associates of the Trinitarios Dominican gang who were operating across New York, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced during a press conference Thursday.

“During our investigation, we learned that these scumbags were affiliated with the transnational criminal organization, the notorious Trinitarios gang in New York. We began to target every single last person that is affiliated with them and recognized that they needed to be brought to justice,” Noem said.

“These arrests and these removals represent a significant blow to the criminal network that has been terrorizing communities right here in New York City and throughout the United States,” she added.

Among the gangbangers were individuals accused of weapons trafficking, human smuggling, narcotics distribution, and armed robberies, Noem said.

More than 60% of them have already been deported.

Authorities discovered that the illegal migrant men responsible for shooting an off-duty Customs and Border Protection officer in New York City in July were part of a notorious criminal gang, and immediately took to the streets to disrupt the criminal organization’s activities in what’s been dubbed “Operation Salvo.”

The two gang members allegedly responsible for shooting the CBP officer were released into the United States by the Biden administration before going on to commit multiple crimes, Noem said. Despite being shot in the wrist and the face while enjoying a quiet evening with a friend, the officer, who wishes to remain anonymous, fired back at the alleged assailants and miraculously survived.

The alleged shooter, Dominican Republic national Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, 21, was arrested several times in New York City and in other parts of the country before the attack, according to the New York Post.

In August 2024, he was arrested twice for allegedly assaulting a pregnant woman and threatening to kill another migrant with a machete, according to the outlet. He was also wanted for kidnapping and weapons charges stemming from a pawn shop robbery in Massachusetts.

Meanwhile, Christhian Aybar-Berroa, 22, who was the shooter’s alleged accomplice, was arrested eight times by the NYPD and released each time after he had already received a deportation order.

Authorities said he was also a suspect in four more cases, the Post reported.

During Thursday’s presser, New York Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Ken Genalo blamed New York’s bail and sanctuary laws for the shooting.

“They provide safe haven for criminal illegal aliens,” Genalo said. “The lack of cooperation is unprecedented across the law enforcement spectrum, and rather than the city’s stated purpose to protect the immigrants of New York and the citizens of New York City, these misguided policies allow criminals to roam freely in our city, in our country, subjecting New Yorkers and all Americans to unnecessary harm.”

Noem also spoke to that issue.

“Those individuals would have never been in this country if they hadn’t been allowed in by the Biden administration when they ignored their federal laws and allowed them to come in illegally,” she said.

Noem said the operation is “just the beginning.”

“We are on offense, the Trump administration is using every single tool that we have to protect the American people,” she said.
