Trump government uses ICE shooting in Minneapolis to target a familiar foe: The press
"It was no easy task the footage showing an immigration agent shooting a woman in a car on a Minneapolis street spoke for itself. Even so, just a couple of hours after three shots ended Good's life, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, wearing a cowboy hat at a press conference from the TexasMexico border, called the actions leading up to the shooting an act of domestic terrorism."
"But they have adapted and expanded it in response to the work done by the news media they consider their enemies outlets that have analyzed the evidence and presented the incident as a killing, not an act of self-defense. For the government, it is no longer just a matter of putting forward the idea that the victim was actually the agent who pulled the trigger"
Videos of Renee Good's killing circulated widely on social media and triggered an immediate effort by federal officials to control the narrative. The footage shows an immigration agent shooting a woman in a car on a Minneapolis street. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the actions leading up to the shooting an act of domestic terrorism and defended the agent. Administration figures have accused outlets that present the incident as a killing of spreading falsehoods, and Vice President J. D. Vance publicly accused journalists of becoming agents of propaganda. Journalist associations report an increase in assaults on reporters by federal agents.
