Incident 13341 Report
Grok Reportedly Generated False "Unmasked" Images of ICE Agent, Purportedly Triggering Online Misidentification and Harassment in Minneapolis

2026-01-07

After the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis by an ICE officer, users on X reportedly asked Grok to "unmask" the masked agent shown in eyewitness footage. Grok reportedly generated a fabricated face that spread widely online, along with the false name "Steve Grove." The output and claim allegedly led to harassment and reputational harm against at least two uninvolved men.
