White House Releases ICE Agent’s Video as DHS Defends Minneapolis Shooting

Overview

• The video, recorded by agent Jonathan Ross and published by the White House, captures Renée Nicole Good speaking calmly before shots are fired as the car moves.
• Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the shooting and said vehicle attacks will be pursued as domestic terrorism in coordination with the Justice Department.
• Authorities say Ross fired in self-defense because the vehicle advanced on officers, while Good was unarmed, according to reporting.
• Protests continued in Minneapolis and spread to roughly ten U.S. cities, with Mayor Jacob Frey calling for ICE to leave the city and state.
• A large ICE operation involving about 2,000 officers has been underway in the Twin Cities, and a state senator cited witness claims that agents blocked a doctor from rendering aid.
