"They took to the left and that's when they hit my car," Molina said, adding that he confronted agents after getting out of his vehicle.Tension erupted in Minnesota last week when a federal immigration officer shot and killed Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who was observing the federal law enforcement action. U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused Good of domestic terrorism, saying she was attempting to ram the officer with her vehicle, while critics of the Trump administration have staged a series of protests to denounce the shooting as unjustified.Minnesota officials have pointed to bystander video they say showed Good's vehicle turning away from the agent as he fired.Noem and other U.S. officials have maintained that the agent acted in self-defense because Good, a volunteer in a community network that monitors and records ICE operations in Minneapolis, drove forward in the direction of the agent who then shot her, after another agent had approached the driver's side and told her to get out of the car.
