Overview
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down on labeling Renee Good a domestic terrorist in a contentious CNN interview and did not dispute that an agent was heard calling Good a slur on video.
- President Donald Trump described Good as violent and disrespectful to law enforcement, and Vice President J.D. Vance asserted the shooting officer has absolute immunity from prosecution.
- The FBI is maintaining exclusive control of the federal investigation and limiting state access to evidence, prompting Sen. Tina Smith to accuse the administration of attempting a cover-up as Minnesota advances a parallel probe.
- DHS is deploying hundreds more federal officers to Minneapolis as protests continue nationwide, with clashes reported outside an ICE facility where agents used pepper spray on demonstrators.
- Key facts remain disputed, with videos yielding conflicting interpretations of whether Good's vehicle posed a lethal threat when the agent fired and no charges have been announced.
