"Officials within the Trump administration quickly defended the ICE agent's actions as justifiable use of force, after civilian footage taken at the scene seemed to show Good's SUV attempting to drive away from masked ICE agents, one of whom subsequently fired three shots into the driver's window, killing the 37-year-old wife and mother."
"It feels very, very difficult that we will get a fair outcome, and I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgment, from the president, to the vice president, to [Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem,"
"You have a woman who was trying to obstruct a legitimate law enforcement operation You have a woman who aimed her car at a law enforcement officer and pressed on the accelerator,"
Two separate press conferences presented conflicting accounts of a fatal Minneapolis shooting involving an immigration enforcement agent. Governor Tim Walz demanded that the federal government leave Minnesota alone and allow state officials to lead the investigation. Walz said fairness was in doubt because people in positions of power had already passed judgment. Officials in the Trump administration defended the ICE agent's use of force after civilian footage appeared to show the driver's SUV attempting to drive away while masked ICE agents were present and one agent fired three shots, killing a 37-year-old woman. Vice President JD Vance called the incident a tragedy but defended the agent and described the woman as obstructing law enforcement; Walz called the federal presence a "reckless ICE mobilization" and urged support for the victim's family.
