Homan Distances Himself From Noem on Minneapolis ICE Shooting, Calls for Probe

The border czar urged patience as federal and state investigators review bystander video that challenges DHS’s initial account.

Overview

  • An ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, with video showing agents approach her vehicle before one fired multiple shots as the car turned.
  • DHS, led by Secretary Kristi Noem, labeled the incident an act of domestic terrorism and said the driver weaponized her vehicle to try to run over officers.
  • Witness statements and circulating videos dispute the agency’s narrative of the encounter.
  • On CBS, Tom Homan declined to judge the shooting and said he has not seen ICE act outside policy, a stance anchor Tony Dokoupil questioned as not credible given widely viewed videos.
  • Homan warned that some lawmakers’ references to “murder” could incite threats against ICE personnel, as a joint FBIMinnesota BCA investigation proceeds following a large DHS deployment to the Twin Cities.
