Overview
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down on calling Renee Good’s actions “domestic terrorism” and defended ICE agent Jonathan Ross in a combative CNN interview pressed over the administration’s rapid conclusions.
- USA TODAY’s video analysis indicates Good’s SUV appeared to turn away as Ross fired three shots after moving out of the car’s path, a reading Minnesota officials say undercuts the federal self‑defense account.
- Federal authorities have put the FBI in sole charge of the investigation and limited state access to evidence, prompting Minnesota prosecutors to open a parallel criminal inquiry and ask the public for videos.
- The White House and DHS have sent hundreds more federal agents to the Twin Cities as large demonstrations continue across U.S. cities, with clashes reported outside an ICE facility in Minneapolis.
- DHS quietly tightened rules on congressional detention‑facility visits as President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance endorsed the self‑defense narrative; no criminal charges have been announced.
