Minutes or hours later you had her saying that Renee Good was a domestic terrorist."
"A number of anti-ICE protests have happened in the city, including one earlier this week where CNN reported protesters were physically interfering with an ICE operation. Noem vowed to send hundreds more ICE agents to the city last week to help the thousands of other agents who were already there. And Reuters on Sunday reported the White House is ready to deploy 1,500 troops to Minnesota."

Noem vowed to send hundreds more ICE agents, and Reuters reported the White House may deploy 1,500 troops.
