Overview
- At a White House briefing, Vice President J.D. Vance denounced media coverage, called Renee Nicole Good a “deranged leftist,” and alleged an organized left‑wing network without offering evidence.
- Vance cited the ICE agent’s prior vehicle‑related injury to contextualize his response, then conceded he did not know Good’s intent, calling the death a tragedy “of her own making.”
- The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension withdrew from the probe after the FBI cut off access to interviews and materials, prompting concern from Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison about fairness.
- Bystander videos verified by news outlets, including The New York Times, indicate Good’s vehicle was turning away as shots were fired, contradicting federal claims that she tried to ram the agent.
- Protests continued in the Twin Cities with confrontations outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, and local media identified the ICE agent as Jonathan Ross though DHS has not released a name.
