DHS Narrative Under Fire After ICE Killing in Minneapolis as Ex-ICE Chief, Fox Hosts Cite Video

Fresh criticism from a former ICE director, plus Fox News skepticism, intensifies scrutiny of DHS’s initial account.

Overview

  • A masked ICE officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good during a DHS operation in Minneapolis, with bystander video showing agents approach her idling SUV, an agent grab the door, the vehicle reverse and turn, and an agent fire multiple shots.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem labeled the incident an act of “domestic terrorism” and said Good “weaponized” her car, while DHS asserted she had been tracking agents; those claims have not been independently verified.
  • Former acting ICE director John Sandweg called Noem’s characterization “incredibly irresponsible,” warning that early details are often wrong and raising concerns about training shortcuts influencing use-of-force decisions.
  • Several Fox News figures questioned DHS’s version, with anchor John Roberts saying frame-by-frame review of the video undercuts claims agents were pushing a car from the snow before the shooting.
  • Federal and state investigations by the FBI and Minnesota BCA remain active as protests and political fallout continue, with President Donald Trump calling Good a “professional agitator.”
