"When the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis happened on Wednesday morning, MS NOW correspondent Alex Tabet was already on the ground documenting local protests against a fresh push of federal immigration raids in Minnesota. The shooting, which left the 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three dead, became an immediate and national political firestorm for control of the narrative."
"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem got out front immediately, blasting Good's actions as domestic terrorism and the officer's actions as self-defense. Video of the shooting quickly went viral and sparked a fierce debate on what exactly happened a political Rorschach test for many. Minnesota Mayor Jacob Frey (D) called Noem's claims bullsh*t and soon President Donald Trump himself was weighing in, alongside lawmakers across both parties, to pitch their take."
"Throughout all the high-level noise, Tabet's coverage from the streets including interviews with officials, veterans, and Minnesotans circulated widely online and drew viewers' attention not just for what it showed, but how it was done. In an era when protest coverage can often be reduced to viral clips or partisan talking points, the stakes are high: who gets believed, who gets seen, and how quickly facts are established, can shape public trust and define the moment."
