The United Nations has described footage of the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis as deeply disturbing, urging a thorough investigation and reaffirming the right to peaceful protest.
The United Nations said on Friday that video footage circulating of the fatal shooting by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was “deeply disturbing.”
Speaking at a UN press briefing, spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said an investigation into the incident is underway and expressed hope that it would be conducted thoroughly, with accountability for those responsible.
Dujarric also addressed the protests that followed the shooting, saying the right to peaceful protest is an inherent right, whether in the United States or elsewhere in the world.
The comments came two days after a U.S. immigration agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three, in a residential neighbourhood of Minneapolis.
The incident prompted immediate protests and drew condemnation from city and state officials, who blamed President Donald Trump’s expanded immigration enforcement operations for escalating tensions on the streets.
Minnesota authorities and the Trump administration have offered sharply different accounts of the shooting, which took place on January 7, with federal officials defending the agent’s actions and local officials calling for independent scrutiny.
