John Mulaney has postponed his comedy shows in Minneapolis following the ICE shooting this week that killed Renee Nicole Good, an American citizen.

The former "Saturday Night Live" writer shared the news on Instagram Thursday night, telling fans he understands it's "unfair" for them to lose out on their plans, but he doesn't see a better alternative at this time. He explained ... "I don't feel comfortable asking thousands of people each night to leave their homes, gather at the venue, and then make their way home when the situation is so unsafe."

He apologized to anyone he disappointed, adding ... "I know a fun stand-up show could be a nice distraction, but it doesn't sit right with me to put anyone at risk."

In December, a video went viral showing a drunk, belligerent woman attacking bar staff in San Francisco ... now one of the bartenders she terrorized has reportedly been fired.

ICYMI ... Shireen Afkari had a wild altercation at the popular food spot, Hazie's. After appearing to get cut off from drinks -- reportedly for causing a ruckus -- Shireen was caught on video shouting at and getting physical with employees as well as fellow patrons.

After striking one customer, Shireen was slammed to the ground by a restaurant worker ... but that's not who is reported to have been fired. Outside, Shireen was running on the sidewalk, and apparently got tripped by bartender Miguel Marchese ... and Miguel is reportedly the employee who was let go.

The Golden State Warriors aren't playing around when it comes to fan violence -- the team banned two spectators after a wild brawl broke out in the stands during Wednesday's game.

TMZ Sports spoke with the Warriors on Thursday after several videos surfaced on social media showing two men going at it during the Dubs vs. Bucks game at the Chase Center.

"SFPD (San Francisco Police Department) was on location to defuse the situation," the org. said. "The fans have been banned from future Chase Center events."

The Warriors also told us no one was injured ...which is pretty remarkable after watching the video.

5:33 PM PT -- TMZ obtained the dispatch audio from the call to Portland Fire Rescue and it reveals cops were told the man was shot twice in the arm and the woman, his wife, was shot in the chest.

Worth noting ... in the audio the dispatcher says the victim claims he and his wife were shot by ICE, but was confused with Customs and Border Protection, based on the DHS statement.

4:58 PM PT -- The Department of Homeland Security says Border Patrol agents were conducting a traffic stop targeting an alleged "Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring."

DHS says when CBP agents identified themselves to the people in the car, the driver, who the feds allege is a Tren de Aragua gang member, "weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents."

The feds say the agent "fired a defensive shot" out of fear for his life and safety ... and the driver fled the scene with his passenger.

DHS also says the alleged gang member here was recently involved in a shooting in Portland.

Another shooting involving federal immigration agents and civilians ... and this time the feds shot two people in Oregon.

The FBI's office in Portland says they are investigating an agent-involved shooting involving Customs and Border Protection agents in which 2 people were wounded.

Federal authorities say the shooting happened Thursday around 2:15 PM.

"Members Only: Palm Beach" star Gale Brophy is speaking out for the first time since the show aired ... and she says the newest women on the show are failing to represent the town with the elegance and refinement it’s known for.

Gale hopped on TMZ's 'Previously On...' podcast, and she tells us she would not have joined the show had she known how chaotic it would become ... unless the cast looked very different ... with the exception of Rosalyn.

The "Queen of Palm Beach" tells us her main issue isn’t the drama itself, but what she believes is a misrepresentation of Palm Beach culture. According to Gale, Palm Beach is the richest zip code in the world and operates by a strict code of etiquette, discretion, and philanthropy -- standards she says the new women simply don’t meet.

Spencer Pratt announced his run for mayor of Los Angeles yesterday ... but Karen Bass' team doesn't seem worried.

As we reported ... the 42-year-old reality star announced his new mayoral bid on the first anniversary of the Pacific Palisades wildfire, which destroyed more than 6,000 structures -- including the house Pratt shared with wife Heidi Montag and their two sons.

Since the tragedy, Spencer has engaged in fiery exchanges with California politicians, encouraging fans to call for him to run for office. While he's answered the call ... not everyone seems to think it's a good idea.

Mayor Karen Bass's campaign strategist Douglas Herman tells TMZ ... "It's no shock that in advance of his imminent book release, a reality TV 'villain' who once staged a fake divorce to boost ratings and spent the last summer spewing post-fire misinformation and disinformation to pump up his social media following, would now announce he's running for Mayor."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is staying far away from Jesse Watters ... claiming she won't go on his show because he's sexually harassed her on the program before!

The New York congresswoman answered media questions in Washington, D.C. Wednesday ... when a producer for Fox News offered her the chance to appear on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

Watch the clip ... AOC turns down the offer flat -- telling the producer Jesse sexually harassed and sexualized her on the network recently, and she won't help boost his ratings.

Dramatic new video shows the aftermath of the woman fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minnesota ... with her spouse breaking down in tears, saying she can't breathe.

Check it out ... The clip begins showing the crowded Minneapolis street filled with law enforcement officers. In the background, you can hear the inconsolable wife of Renee Nicole Good having a conversation with a man about Good's death.

The man asks her if she was riding with Good and she says, "That's my wife" and "I have a 6-year-old in school." She also tries to explain something, but she's so upset it's hard to make out what she's saying.

The man then asks if she's called any of her "people," and she replies she's new in town, going on to say, "I can't even breathe."

At one point during the ordeal, federal agents refused to allow a doctor on scene to provide medical assistance to Good, saying they had their own physicians on the way.

1:42 PM PT -- Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin tells TMZ ... “Immediately following the incident, our ICE officers got medics and there was an ambulance on the scene. The individual was pronounced dead. There was no pulse, but that individual was immediately given aid. Any loss of life is an absolute tragedy. We do pray for the deceased and her family, and as well as for our officer and all affected in this situation.”

First responders attempted to revive the woman shot who was shot in the head on a Minneapolis street by an ICE agent Wednesday morning ... and the efforts were captured in harrowing video.

In a YouTube clip posted by Status Coup News, you can see paramedics carrying Renee Nicole Good's body down a sidewalk. When they get around the corner, they're seen laying her lifeless body on the ground, where they begin performing chest compressions on her.

More emergency personnel rush a gurney down the street as the life-saving measures proved futile.

The viral reports of people "scromiting" -- AKA barfing their guts out -- after smoking weed are nothing but propaganda from "Big Alcohol," who are Big Mad their sales are down ... so says High Times' publisher Josh Kesselman!!!

Alcohol consumption was reportedly down about 54% in 2025 to its lowest point in nearly a century in the United States ... as more Americans are favoring health and cannabis trends over scarring their livers. There have also been several bankruptcy filings from distilleries in the past few months.

Josh suspects the round of "scromit" ("scream-vomiting") reports -- that are routinely getting spanked with community notes on socials to adjust accuracy -- are being pushed by the alcohol companies.

Days before a dentist in Ohio and his wife were brutally killed in their home, one neighbor called police to report a possible intruder ... and, we've now obtained the 911 audio from that call.

Dr. Spencer Tepe and his wife, Monique, were found shot to death on December 30 ... but, several days earlier, a woman living on the same street as the Tepes called the cops just after 2:30 AM on December 19 to report someone "smashing" and "banging" on her door.

The dispatcher asks if the woman recognizes the person at her door ... but, she says she can't see him ... and, she's too afraid to yell out and ask what the individual wants.

"Heated Rivalry" star Hudson Williams is pulling back the curtain on his DMs ... revealing he’s been getting messages from pro athletes who say they’re still in the closet.

Speaking on "Andy Cohen Live," Hudson -- who plays Shane Hollander in the steamy queer hockey drama -- said it hit him just how deep the show was landing when he started getting a flood of anonymous DMs from secretly gay pro athletes.

Hudson said the messages haven't been coming from just one sport ... he’s heard from athletes in hockey, football, and basketball -- many of whom also reached out to the show’s author, Rachel Reid, who then passed along the love.

Spencer Tepe's friends rushed to his house when he didn't show up for work on December 30 ... and we've obtained the dramatic audio from when the bodies were discovered.

Jackson said the circumstances under which he had to withdraw from the case were beyond Nick's control. TMZ broke the story ... Nick was diagnosed with schizo-affective disorder and there are issues regarding his meds that could lead to a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.

10:06 AM PT -- A spokesperson for the Reiner family released a statement on Nick's change of legal representation saying ... "They have the utmost trust in the legal process and will not comment further on matters related to the legal proceedings."
