Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Sunday reiterated her claim that U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer on Wednesday, was a domestic terrorist.
“If you look at what the definition of domestic terrorism is, it fits perfectly with the situation on the ground,” Noem said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” he said.
“This officer was hit by his car, he weaponized him, and he was defending his life, the lives of his colleagues, and the public around him,” Noem said.
Good, 37, was shot Wednesday by an ICE agent who positioned himself in front of his car as he drove forward in his SUV after agents attempted to remove him from his vehicle. ICE agent identified Jonathan RossTwo sources familiar with the investigation told MS Now:
Videos of the incident emerged Wednesday, sparking protests and nationwide scrutiny of the Trump administration’s tactics in pursuing its mass deportation agenda.
The administration and Noem defended Ross, claiming Good tried to run him over with his vehicle, and vowed to send more police to Minneapolis. The administration had dispatched more federal officers to the area following reports of widespread social services fraud.
Pressed by CNN host Jake Tapper about why she felt comfortable labeling Good a domestic terrorist before the investigation into the shooting was completed, Noem said, without offering any evidence: “Everything I’ve said has been proven to be true and true.”
Democrats threatened blame Regarding the murder, Noem noted that the investigation into the incident is ongoing. On Thursday, state officials with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension alleged that the FBI obstructed the state-level investigation.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey demanded an objective investigation of the incident in an interview Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“Let’s leave the investigation in the hands of someone who is not biased,” he said. “Let’s not allow this to be run solely through the FBI or the Department of Justice in the federal government.”
“When you have a federal administration that is so quick to jump into a narrative that is contrary to the truth, I think we all need to speak out,” Frey added.
