US EditionHomeland Security Calls ICE Officer Shooting 'Domestic Terrorism,' While Others Disagree
John Sandweg criticized DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for labeling the ICE agent shooting as domestic terrorism before investigations, emphasizing the need for thorough review first.
- On Wednesday, an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman, Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis; video later showed federal agents at the scene during the operation.
- Around 10:30 a.m., DHS says an ICE vehicle was stuck in the snow during immigration and fraud crackdowns, and Secretary Kristi Noem called the driver "weaponized" her vehicle and labeled it "domestic terrorism".
- Bystander footage shows officers approaching the woman's vehicle, ordering her out before an ICE officer fired at close range as the car moved; DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated an ICE officer, fearing for his life, fired defensive shots.
- The shooting prompted immediate protests in Minneapolis, intensifying calls to limit federal law enforcement, while Minnesota state authorities pledged a full, expeditious investigation and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said the FBI will investigate, calling the death preventable.
- John Sandweg, former Acting ICE Director, said initial reports are often wrong and criticized Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's statements as irresponsible, warning they undermine DHS credibility amid Washington's split.
