Overview
- At a rare White House briefing, Vice President J.D. Vance forcefully backed the ICE officer, called the death a “tragedy of her own making,” blamed a left‑wing network, and castigated the press while offering no new evidence.
- Agent-shot cellphone footage published by Alpha News shows the confrontation from the officer’s perspective; Vance says it proves self‑defense, while critics argue it shows the SUV turning away and question why shots continued.
- Bystander videos verified by major outlets depict the vehicle reversing, then turning as an agent fires; it remains unclear from the footage whether the officer was struck.
- The FBI is running the sole investigation, and Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says it has been denied access to evidence as protests and vigils expand nationwide.
- President Trump and DHS describe the shooting as self‑defense and accuse Good of weaponizing her car, while Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey denounce the federal account and demand transparency and restraint on ICE operations.
