"Craig reportedly confronted Emmer about the recent murder of 37-year-old queer mother of three Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis. The video shows Craig approaching Emmer, forcefully gesturing and pointing at him as she speaks. He speaks over her, also gesturing and leaning towards her. Even after two men separate them, they continue speaking, gesturing, and leaning in passionately. Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) eventually pulled Craig back to separate them."
"Craig told WCCO she wanted to discuss Emmer's lack of standing up for Minnesotans, after he made several Facebook posts on Wednesday defending ICE's actions in the shooting. Emmer's posts accused "elected officials" of endangering ICE agents "by spewing lies and hateful rhetoric." Emmer also shared the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) post on X, which accused Good of being a domestic terrorist and trying to run over the ICE agent who shot her."
Rep. Angie Craig confronted Rep. Tom Emmer on the House floor about the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Video shows a heated exchange with forceful gestures, overlapping speech, and colleagues separating the members, with Rep. Betty McCollum pulling Craig back. Craig criticized Emmer for defending ICE in multiple Facebook posts and for sharing a DHS post that labeled Good a domestic terrorist. Emmer's posts accused "elected officials" of endangering ICE agents "by spewing lies and hateful rhetoric." Video analysis cited in coverage indicated the agent was not in the vehicle's path.
