Noem Defends ICE Agent in Heated CNN Interview Over Disputed Minneapolis Shooting

The FBI is investigating, with Minnesota leaders disputing DHS’s framing.

Overview

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on CNN reiterated that Renee Nicole Good committed “domestic terrorism” by “weaponizing” her car and defended ICE agent Jonathan Ross.
  • Jake Tapper pressed Noem on drawing swift conclusions, challenged her account using widely circulated videos, and contrasted her stance by airing January 6 footage of attacks on police.
  • USA TODAY’s video review found Good’s SUV appeared to be turning away as Ross fired three shots, including two through the driver’s side window after he moved aside.
  • Noem said Ross was struck by the vehicle and treated at a hospital before release, while the FBI confirmed it is investigating the shooting.
  • Nationwide protests followed the killing as Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other officials rejected the “domestic terrorist” label and criticized the federal narrative.
