Noem Defends ICE Shooting in NYC as FBI Takes Lead and Impeachment Bid Emerges

Bystander videos challenging DHS claims sharpen questions over the shooting, intensifying scrutiny of the investigation.

Overview

  • Federal authorities say the FBI is leading the Minneapolis shooting probe, while Minnesota’s state investigators report being barred from some evidence reviews.
  • During a New York press event, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem promoted ICE’s “Operation Salvo,” citing 54 arrests tied to alleged Trinitarios affiliations and criticizing sanctuary city policies.
  • Noem reiterated that the ICE agent acted in self-defense, saying he was struck by the vehicle, treated at a hospital, released, and is now with his family.
  • Bystander footage and independent analyses indicate Renee Nicole Good’s SUV moved away from officers, contradicting DHS assertions and prompting rebukes from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz.
  • Rep. Robin Kelly filed articles of impeachment against Noem as protests grew in New York City and other locations, with no charges announced in the case so far.
