Vice President JD Vance on Thursday blamed Renee Nicole Good for her fatal shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, even as the killing remains under investigation by federal and state authorities.
“A tragedy? Absolutely. But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with,” Vance wrote in a tweet.
The vice president was responding to a civil liberties attorney who had said video showed that immigration officers instigated the confrontation with Good.
“The gaslighting is off the charts and I’m having none of it. This guy was doing his job,” Vance wrote. “She tried to stop him from doing his job. When he approached her car, she tried to hit him.”
Good, 37, was shot on Wednesday as she began driving away from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on a residential street after agents told her to get out of her SUV, which had been blocking the road they were driving down.
