Noem Defends ICE Agent in CNN Clash, Reasserts ‘Domestic Terrorism’ Label After Minneapolis Shooting

Video analyses and local officials challenge DHS’s account.

Overview

  • In a tense CNN interview, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said her swift statements were factual and again called Renee Good’s actions domestic terrorism, telling Jake Tapper, “You don’t get to change the facts.”
  • USA TODAY’s review of multiple videos found Good’s SUV appeared to be turning right and away when shots were fired, with all three rounds coming after the officer moved out of the vehicle’s path.
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said the videos show Good was not a domestic terrorist, while Sen. Tina Smith accused the Trump administration of shaping the narrative and blocking state investigators.
  • The FBI has confirmed it is leading the investigation as officials say ICE agent Jonathan Ross fired three shots and was treated at a hospital after being struck by the vehicle and released.
  • Noem said the federal government is deploying hundreds of additional officers to Minnesota following the shooting and days of public outcry.
