Overview
- On Real Time, Bill Maher called the shooting of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross “an execution in the street” and likened the imagery to the 1968 Saigon execution photo.
- Maher highlighted photos from the Minnesota operation, citing a detainee forced outside in underwear, a detained 5-year-old, a woman apparently pepper-sprayed, and a disabled woman pulled from a car.
- He forecast that Republicans would be punished in the midterms over the raids, arguing the tactics are not what voters endorsed.
- Sen. John Kennedy, a panelist on the show, backed enforcing immigration laws but stressed that methods must respect due process and rejected proposals he characterized as amnesty.
- Thousands marched in frigid Minneapolis temperatures protesting the intensified ICE presence, underscoring continuing public pressure alongside ongoing federal reviews and legal fights.
