India on Friday, January 9, voiced concern over the killing of a woman by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis in the US.
“We are closely following the developments,” Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. “We are concerned as we have a large Indian community in the US, including students, professionals and others,” he said at his weekly media briefing.
Renee Nicole Good was shot dead by a federal immigration agent on Wednesday, January 7, during an inspection, which she did not appear to be the target of.
She was a US citizen born in Colorado and appears to have never been charged with anything involving law enforcement beyond a traffic ticket.
Her former husband, who asked not to be named out of concern for the safety of their children, said Good had just dropped off her six-year-old son at school on January 7 and was driving home with her current partner when they encountered a group of ICE agents on a snowy street in Minneapolis, where they had moved last year from Kansas City, Missouri.
