The ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis has drawn national attention, and now a polarizing public figure is weighing in.
In a recent Substack post addressed to Vice President JD Vance, Casey Anthony criticized federal authorities over the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, accusing the Trump administration of protecting ICE agents from accountability.
“There is no such thing as a federal law-enforcement officer having immunity because it is convenient for you and this Administration,” Anthony wrote. “This applies to your Gestapo agents in ICE.”
Anthony described the shooting as a crime and argued it should be investigated “as all other officer-involved crimes.” She also demanded the release of investigative reports and any available body-camera video.
Anthony further alleged that federal officials were keeping the matter under federal review instead of letting Minnesota authorities take the lead. She criticized the Department of Justice and accused the administration of misleading the public about how the investigation is being handled.
“We are watching. We are holding our government officials accountable,” she wrote, arguing that federal law-enforcement agents should face the same standards as civilians. She also pointed to what she described as multiple recent shootings involving federal officers and questioned whether victims and their families were getting justice.
The shooting occurred during a federal ICE enforcement operation in south Minneapolis. An ICE agent fatally shot Good during the operation. Federal officials have said the agent acted in self-defense, claiming Good threatened officers with her vehicle — a characterization ICE says justified the use of deadly force.
State and local leaders, however, have raised questions about the incident and called for greater transparency, including the release of evidence and investigative materials.
Anthony, now 38, was acquitted in 2011 in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. A jury found her guilty of lying to law enforcement but not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter or aggravated child abuse. Caylee’s death remains unsolved.
Despite her acquittal, Anthony has remained a divisive figure in American culture and has been the subject of multiple documentaries and television series in the years since the trial.
