An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, an unarmed 37-year-old, on Wednesday morning in Minneapolis, which is the ninth ICE-involved shooting since September, according to The New York Times.
In the aftermath of the shooting, as videos from multiple angles circulated on the internet, the party line among MAGA-verse began to materialize: The mother was actually to blame. Not only that, but she was a “domestic terrorist,” according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The agent’s use of force was meant to “protect himself and the people around him.”
Contrary to the videos you can see with your own eyes, Noem claimed that Good “attempted to run [ICE agents] over and rammed them with her vehicle,” a claim later repeated by President Donald Trump.
What the video did show, as HuffPost previously reported, was that Good — a U.S. citizen who was reportedley acting as a legal observer, as city leaders told CBS — was in her car perpendicular to a line of ICE vehicles and was repeatedly ordered by agents to “get out of the fucking car” and to “move, move, move” as other agents were approaching and pulling on the handle of her door and reaching into her open window.
