Eight people have died in dealings with ICE so far in 2026. These are their stories

The high-profile killings of Minneapolis residents Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good are only two among many

The killings of 37-year-old Minneapolis residents Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good by federal agents have sparked protests and outrage throughout the nation. Pretti and Good are just two people out of at least eight who have either been killed by federal agents or who have died while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in 2026 so far.

The high-profile fatal shootings follow the deaths of at least 32 people in ICE custody in 2025 - the highest amount since 2004. One of the people killed included Keith Porter Jr, a 43-year-old Black man who was fatally shot by an off-duty ICE agent outside of his Los Angeles apartment complex on the evening of 31 December 2025. The father of two was firing a gun into the air, a Los Angeles police department spokesperson said, before the off-duty ICE agent, Brian Palacios, went to investigate. Porter was pronounced dead at the scene when police officers responded.
