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.

Emily Ratajkowski is a big fan of New York City's newest mayor, Zohran Mamdani ... because she dedicated a whole social media post to him ... and it begins with video of her shaking her booty.

The model took to Instagram today to welcome Mamdani to the job -- he was sworn in on New Year's Day -- and the first slide of her carousel shows her dropping it low in a NYC bodega, shaking her tailfeathers in a low-cut dress.

On the second slide, Emily included a photo of her wearing a white hijab in what appears to be a mosque -- Mamdani is NYC's first Muslim mayor.

President Donald Trump is planning to ban institutional investors from buying up single-family homes ... according to a new Truth Social post.

Trump said buying a home was the "pinnacle of the American Dream," but that's become nearly impossible under policies he blamed on former president Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats.

Trump claimed he'll take steps to keep institutional investors from purchasing more homes and said he'll call on Congress to make it official.

He promised to discuss proposals related to housing and affordability in his planned speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos in two weeks.

Trump has previously pledged "some of the most aggressive housing reform plans in American history" during a televised address last month, The New York Times reports.

He claimed "the colossal border invasion" is one of the biggest factors in the rise of housing costs -- that claim is widely disputed by economists.

Kristi Noem claimed a woman shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday committed "an act of domestic terrorism" before being shot.

ICE agents got out of a truck in traffic and approached a woman in a Honda Pilot on a residential street in Minneapolis, and one directed the driver to get out of the vehicle. The driver backed up the SUV, then moved forward ... that's when an agent fired shots into the windshield, and the SUV crashed into a parked car on the street.

The unidentified woman was struck in the face and was pronounced dead at a hospital. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told TMZ ICE agents were reportedly hurt -- though video doesn't appear to show much physical contact -- and were expected to recover from their injuries.

Kristi Noem held a press conference at the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas later Wednesday and asserted the ICE agents who shot the woman were acting "defensively," Fox News reports.

Noem said the woman was trying to run the agents over or ram them with the SUV. She claimed sanctuary cities and states -- where local law enforcement's cooperation with federal immigration agencies is limited -- were protecting dangerous people.

Spencer Pratt has announced he's running for mayor of Los Angeles ... test your Pratt-ical knowledge about the TV star!

The reality star made the announcement Wednesday in front of a cheering crowd, saying, "This is not just a campaign. This is a mission. And we are going to expose the system!"

This mayoral bid begins on the first anniversary of the Pacific Palisades wildfire, which destroyed more than 6,000 structures -- including the house Pratt shared with wife Heidi and their two sons. Spencer has been engaged in a battle with California politicians ever since.

Spencer's ongoing war of words with California Governor Gavin Newsom escalated Tuesday in an Instagram post revealing a letter sent to him from the governor's office.

A federal judge has ordered Lindsey Halligan to explain why she continues to use the title of "U.S. attorney" in the months since her appointment was ruled unlawful, CBS News reports.

Halligan -- a former personal attorney to President Donald Trump -- was named the head of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia in September. She had no experience in criminal law prior to her appointment, and primarily focused on insurance law.

Although she brought cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, they were dismissed after a district judge found Halligan's appointment to head that U.S. Attorney's Office was invalid in November.

The issue was noted following an indictment filed in early December in which Halligan was listed as a "United States attorney and special attorney."

Judge David Novak has since given Halligan seven days to explain why she continues to represent herself as a U.S. attorney and how her identification "does not constitute a false or misleading statement."

It's January 6, so of course, there is chaos in Washington, D.C. ... and this time tensions are flaring at a march memorializing the Capitol Riot ... a fight broke out, and it's all on video.

Profanity-laced insults led to a physical confrontation Tuesday morning at the InterContinental The Willard hotel ... a large brawl ensued after a counter-protestor showed up to disrupt a memorial event honoring Ashli Babbitt and four others who died in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

Proud Boys members and J6 convicts organized the event, and they didn't take kindly to a woman who showed up with a megaphone and started calling them "p****."

Check out the footage ... the mob surrounds the counter-protestor, shouting profanities at her and putting middle fingers in her face, and then a woman with an American flag comes over and kicks off the violence.

The cause of LaMalfa's death was not released. He was reportedly in good spirits leading up to the holidays.

Stephen Miller said Greenland would "obviously" be better off as a part of the United States while speaking with CNN's Jake Tapper on Monday evening.

Although Tapper asked President Donald Trump's Homeland Security advisor if he'd rule out using military action to take Greenland by force, Miller initially sidestepped the question and pointed to how Trump had been "clear for months" about his desire to take control of the island.

Miller said Greenland should be part of the United States' "overall security apparatus" and said the United States likely wouldn't face any military resistance to taking over Greenland.

Miller then questioned Denmark's right to maintain governance and "assert control" over Greenland.

The island became part of the Danish Kingdom in 1953, and it currently operates as an autonomous territory under the Danish Crown.

Trump first floated the idea of taking control of Greenland during his first term in office, and he told The Atlantic the United States "absolutely" needed control over the island earlier this month.

President Donald Trump's dancing is so unpresidential ... according to his own wife, Melania.

POTUS made the admission during his remarks Tuesday at the House GOP retreat at the Kennedy Center.

In the middle of complaining about female weightlifters, DT went on a tangent about one of the First Lady's pet peeves.

He revealed, "She hates when I dance." According to DT, Melania tells him, "Darling, it's not presidential."

Of course, Donald is convinced people actually like him cutting a rug. While the First Lady tried to explain to him the crowds are "just being nice," he contends that's not true.

Spencer Pratt is escalating his war of words with California Governor Gavin Newsom, calling BS on a recent message from the governor's office concerning texts about the Pacific Palisades wildfires.

Remember ... Spencer watched the Palisades home he shared with wife Heidi and their 2 sons burn to the ground in a raging L.A. wildfire in January 2025.

In an Instagram post shared Monday, Spencer revealed a letter sent to him from Gov. Newsom's office, responding to his request for "all text messages to, from, and including Governor Gavin Newsom regarding the 'Pacific Palisades' or simply 'Palisades' between January 6, 2025, and January 9, 2025."
