Homan Breaks From DHS on Minneapolis ICE Shooting With Call for Investigation

Witness accounts alongside video challenge DHS’s “domestic terrorism” claim.

Overview

  • An ICE officer shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis after agents approached her vehicle, with video showing an agent firing multiple times as the car turned.
  • The Department of Homeland Security labeled the incident an act of domestic terrorism, asserting Good weaponized her vehicle to try to kill officers.
  • Border czar Tom Homan declined to endorse that characterization on CBS, saying he would not judge based on a single video and urging investigators to review all evidence.
  • Pressed by anchor Tony Dokoupil, Homan said he has not seen ICE use excessive force, citing frequent Fourth Amendment training and claims of more than 2,000 arrests per day.
  • The shooting is under investigation, and it follows a recent surge of DHS deployments to the Twin Cities for an expanded immigration enforcement crackdown.
