Overview
- On his show, Jimmy Kimmel rebuked President Trump’s characterization of the shooting, held up a “Get the f*** out of MPLS” shirt, and echoed Mayor Jacob Frey’s demand that ICE leave Minneapolis.
- Trump posted on Truth Social that the driver “ran over” the agent and said the shooting appeared to be self-defense, a depiction Kimmel and local officials said the video does not support.
- DHS officials, including Kristi Noem and Tricia McLaughlin, asserted the driver weaponized her SUV and labeled the act “domestic terrorism,” while Minneapolis leaders Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz rejected that account.
- Bystander video widely shared online shows agents confronting Renee Nicole Good in her SUV and an officer firing as the vehicle moves, with clips not clearly showing contact with the agent.
- The FBI has taken sole control of the investigation and Minneapolis Public Schools closed Thursday and Friday over safety concerns, as Stephen Colbert and other commentators also criticized the federal response.
