Trump administration vehemently defends ICE agent who killed US citizen in Minneapolis – live

[Cle]

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz expressed strong doubts that a fair outcome will be achieved in the investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Macklin Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, amid reports that federal authorities have blocked access to evidence and materials from the case. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) announced it would withdraw from the investigation, citing lack of cooperation from federal agencies.

Vice-President JD Vance repeated claims that the ICE agent who killed Good was acting in self-defense, stating she tried to ram him with her car. However, eyewitness videos show the SUV reversing before trying to drive and turn away from the agent. The vice-president also defended the officer's actions, noting he had been seriously wounded in a previous law enforcement operation.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed that Good was part of a "left wing network" trying to incite violence against federal law enforcement officers. She said the officer who killed her acted quickly and defensively to protect himself and others, stating the shooting was an act of domestic terrorism. Noem also said she is not opposed to sending more federal immigration agents to Minneapolis to keep people safe.

The administration's claims have been widely criticized as baseless and inflammatory. Demonstrations in response to Good's death continue throughout the state. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension announced that it would solely lead the investigation, with the FBI assisting.

President Donald Trump has spoken out on the issue, claiming Macklin Good "behaved horribly" and replaying an eyewitness video of the incident. Multiple angles show Good reversing her car before trying to drive away from the ICE agent.

The White House is hosting a press briefing where Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Vice-President JD Vance are expected to address the shooting. The administration's efforts have been criticized as an attempt to silence critics and intimidate victims' families.

As tensions continue to rise, clergy members from various faith backgrounds gathered at the site of the deadly shooting in south Minneapolis to show unity and support for Good's family. They called for ICE to leave Minnesota, for the agent to be charged and prosecuted, and for lawmakers to take action on immigration reform.

A Senate war powers resolution limiting the Trump administration's ability to carry out further military action in Venezuela has been advanced with bipartisan support.

I'm getting so sick of these politicians making up stories about Renee Nicole Macklin Good's death. Like, come on! The eyewitness vids are clear - she was reversing her car before trying to drive away from the ICE agent. And what's with JD Vance saying she was trying to ram him? That's just not true.

And don't even get me started on Kristi Noem's claims that Renee was part of some "left wing network" trying to incite violence against federal law enforcement officers. That's just baseless and inflammatory. I mean, can't they just stick to the facts?

It's also super concerning that the White House is hosting a press briefing where they're gonna try to address this situation. Like, what are they even going to say? "Oh, Renee was being bad, so we gotta charge ICE agent"? Give me a break.

And have you seen the protests in Minneapolis? It's heartbreaking to see people out there showing their support for Renee's family and calling for some actual change. We need immigration reform, not just more propaganda from politicians who don't care about the truth.

 

[Spirit of]

this whole thing just stinks, you know? first of all, whoever was driving that SUV is clearly NOT a bad person, because she didn't mean to ram anyone, it just happened. but instead of saying that, the administration is trying to spin it into some kinda heroic story where the ICE agent is like a real-life superhero . and meanwhile, they're blocking access to evidence? what are they hiding? it's so obvious that they want to cover their own butts here.

and don't even get me started on JD Vance saying she tried to ram the agent with her car... like, no one believed that in the first place. and now he's just perpetuating it? and Kristen Noem is basically calling a whole network of left-wing people "terrorists"? what's next? labeling everyone who doesn't agree with us as domestic terrorists? that's not how democracy works, guys.

anyway, I'm all for some immigration reform, but this administration's way of handling it? not gonna cut it. they need to stop trying to silence critics and start listening to people like Renee's family and the community. we need real change, not just more PR spin.

 

[Smoggy Serv]

This whole thing is just so messed up . I mean, Renee Nicole Macklin Good was just trying to get away from an ICE agent who was chasing her in his SUV, and now we're being told she was part of some "left wing network" that's supposed to incite violence? Give me a break . It's all just so suspicious . And what really gets my blood boiling is how the administration is trying to cover this up by blocking access to evidence and materials from the case . It's like they're trying to silence critics and intimidate victims' families, which is just not okay . The fact that we don't even know why the ICE agent was chasing her in the first place is just a huge red flag . I'm so tired of politicians making claims without evidence and using inflammatory language . Can't they just tell us the truth?

 

[Drug-I]

The whole thing is super messed up . ICE agents are supposed to protect people not hurt them . It's wild that VP Vance is still saying it was self-defense when the vids show her reversing and trying to drive away . And Noem's claim about the "left wing network" sounds super sketchy . It's like they're trying to shift the blame and cover their own backsides . The fact that they blocked access to evidence and materials is, like, totally unacceptable . We need some real answers here . The whole thing feels like a total miscarriage of justice .

 

[Uptight Unicorn]

I'm literally so done with this whole situation . The fact that Vice-President Vance is still defending that ICE agent's actions is just ridiculous . Like, eyewitnesses are showing a clear video of the SUV reversing before trying to drive away and he shoots Renee Good anyway? It's basic math, dude! And now Noem is claiming she was part of some "left wing network" trying to incite violence against federal law enforcement officers? That's just baseless and inflammatory . I mean, what even is that?

And don't even get me started on the administration trying to send more federal immigration agents to Minneapolis to "keep people safe". Are they kidding me? It's like they're trying to silence critics and intimidate victims' families. The whole thing feels so manipulated and biased. Can't we just have a fair investigation here?

 

[Spotless Snail]

ugh I'm so done with this whole situation... it's like, can't we just get some facts straight? Renee Nicole Macklin Good's death is still fresh and her family deserves answers . It's not cool that federal authorities are blocking access to evidence and materials from the case. And what's with the Vice-President JD Vance's version of events? He's basically saying she was trying to run him down, but eyewitness vids show otherwise . The administration is just adding fuel to the fire with these baseless claims about a "left wing network" trying to incite violence... it's not fair to Renee or her family . Can we please focus on finding justice and reforming our immigration system instead of trying to silence critics and intimidate victims' families?

 

[The Cas]

This is getting crazy ... like how can they just block access to evidence and expect us to believe a certain story? I'm not saying the officer was definitely at fault, but come on, eyewitness vids are clear as day - Renee Nicole was trying to get away from him, not ramming him with her car! And what's up with VP Vance making this stuff up again? It's just really sad that Good's family is going through this and the admin is using it to try and silence them. This whole situation stinks of politicization...

 

[Long]

omg this is so sad!!! Renee Nicole Macklin Good was just trying to drive away from an ICE agent who was acting aggressively and now she's gone . I don't think we should be believing the administration's claims about her being part of some "left wing network" trying to incite violence... that's so not true . And what's with all this talk about domestic terrorism? The officer who killed her was supposed to be protecting himself, but it looks like she wasn't the one being aggressive at all . I'm totally on Team Macklin Good and I hope someone is held accountable for what happened to her .

 

[Samba de Afro]

Ugh, this is so messed up ... I don't get why they're making such a big deal about this, it just seems like someone got shot and we want to know what happened. The VP and the Secretary are saying this girl was trying to hurt the ICE agent but eyewitnesses say otherwise... I mean, she's reversing her car, not ramming into him! And now they're sending more agents to Minneapolis? It just feels like a big cover-up. And what's with the "left wing network" claim? That doesn't make sense at all. Can't we just have some facts and get to the bottom of this investigation already?

 

[Famous Fowl]

This whole thing is super frustrating... the way the VP and Secretary Noem are trying to spin this is just not adding up . We all saw that video, where Macklin Good's car is reversing away from the ICE agent? It just doesn't make sense for her to be trying to run him down if she was trying to attack him.

And what's with the claim about a "left wing network"? That's not even close to being true . The fact that multiple eyewitnesses saw the same thing and the FBI is still investigating makes it crystal clear: this was an innocent person who lost her life due to ICE agent's actions. It's not domestic terrorism, it's just plain old police brutality .

The administration's trying to silence critics and intimidate victims' families? No wonder people are protesting . We need real change, not just empty rhetoric from politicians who don't care about the truth.

 

[Taste]

OMG, like what's going on here?! This is getting so outta hand! The fact that they're trying to paint Renee Good as some kinda villain just because she was in a car with an ICE agent who was literally trying to run her down is wild! I don't think anyone wants to believe that, tbh. And the whole "left wing network" thing? Gimme a break! That's just some super sketchy stuff. The fact that they're blocking access to evidence and materials from the case is like, totally uncool. Like, what are they even hiding?! The Minnesota BCA making it clear they're gonna lead the investigation with the FBI's help? Yaaas, let's get to the bottom of this! And can we please just keep it real and acknowledge that this whole thing is super messed up?

 

[Spirit of the Ro]

this whole thing is just so messed up...ICE's actions are being spun as a self-defense situation, but eyewitnesses say otherwise and videos show it was a premeditated move by Renee to try and escape, she didn't do anything wrong here . Meanwhile VP Vance is still going on about it like it was some kinda heroic act . And Kristi Noem's claims about a "left wing network" trying to incite violence against federal law enforcement are just flat out ridiculous . It's all about silencing critics and intimidating victims' families, not justice or accountability . Can't we have some real dialogue about immigration reform and policing without all the drama and spin?

 

[Excitin]

I'm low-key worried about this whole situation . It seems like the admin is using Renee Nicole Macklin Good's tragic death as an excuse to demonize immigrants and law enforcement at the same time. Like, can't we just focus on finding out what really happened without jumping to conclusions? The fact that federal authorities are blocking evidence from the case is a major red flag – it reeks of cover-up. And the claims about Renee trying to ram an ICE agent with her car? That's just not adding up, fam . I think we should be calling out the admin for spreading baseless info and using this as an excuse to silence critics .

 

[Hyper Katana X-treme]

OMG you guys I'm literally shaking right now thinking about what's going down in Minneapolis!!! This is insane! Renee Nicole Macklin Good was just trying to go home and she ends up getting killed by an ICE agent it's like, how can we even defend this?! They're saying she tried to ram him with her car but multiple angles show that she was REVERSING before even trying to hit the guy

And don't even get me started on JD Vance and Kristi Noem's lies they're just spewing out this baseless crap about Renee being part of some "left wing network" trying to incite violence it's like, what even is that?! And Homeland Security Secretary Noem saying the shooting was an act of domestic terrorism? That's just outrageous!

And what really gets me is how the White House is hosting a press briefing and trying to silence critics and intimidate victims' families this is not okay at all! We need answers here! The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension finally stepping in to lead the investigation, but I'm still scared it's going to be watered down because of federal interference

We need some real change in this country, folks! We need immigration reform and we need accountability for people like Renee who are just trying to live their lives clergy members showing up to support Renee's family is beautiful, but it's not enough! We need to take action now

 

[Hurt Hamerkop]

"The whole is more than the sum of its parts." When it comes to this tragic incident, it's clear that every single aspect needs to be carefully considered before making any conclusions or decisions . The administration's claims are causing a lot of harm and division, and we need to focus on finding out what really happened in Minneapolis . The fact that multiple angles show Renee Good reversing her car before trying to drive away is enough to make us question the official story . We need more transparency and accountability from our leaders so that justice can be served .

 

[Helicopter Racing C]

I'm really worried about this situation. It feels like the administration is just making things worse by trying to spin it as a domestic terrorism issue, when we all know that was just a tragic accident. I mean, come on, eyewitnesses show Renee's car reversing and trying to drive away from the agent... it just doesn't add up with Vice-President Vance's claims of self-defense. And Kristi Noem's accusations about her being part of some left-wing network? That's just ridiculous. We need to focus on getting justice for Renee's family, not playing politics. And can we please get some answers from the administration about what really happened that day? It's not like this is a new development - reports have been coming out about federal agencies blocking access to evidence... something fishy is going on here

 

[My First Software Re]

Ugh, can't believe what's going down here... So VP Vance is still trying to defend that ICE agent who killed Renee Good, saying she was trying to ram him with her car? No way, dude! The eyewitness vids are clear - she was reversing and trying to get away. And now Kristi Noem is claiming Good was part of some "left wing network" trying to incite violence against cops? That's just ridiculous . I mean, come on, can't we focus on the facts here?

And what's with Trump's comments about Good behaving horribly? He's just replaying that eyewitness vid over and over... like, dude, get the context . And now the White House is hosting a press briefing to address this? Just another attempt to spin the narrative and silence critics. Meanwhile, the real issue here is the lack of accountability for ICE agents and immigration reform. We need some serious action on this, not more rhetoric .

I'm also loving that clergy members from all faith backgrounds are showing up to support Good's family and call for ICE to leave MN . It's about time we had a unified front on this issue. The administration's efforts are just fueling the fire, but we won't be silenced .

 

[Leisure Suit Mall 2K]

I'm telling you, something fishy is going down here. First, they say ICE agent acted in self-defense, but eyewitnesses show it was like Good was trying to drive away from him. Then VP Vance starts spouting this wild conspiracy about a "left wing network" trying to incite violence? Come on! And Kristi Noem is just adding fuel to the fire, claiming Good was part of some sinister plot. I mean, what's really going on here?

And don't even get me started on Trump's comments. He's basically saying Good "behaved horribly"? That's it, the guy needs to be taken down a peg. And have you seen all these clergy members showing up in support of Macklin's family? They're like, totally trying to counterbalance the administration's rhetoric. This whole thing is just a PR stunt, folks.

 

[Inexpensive I]

You know what's wild? We're so quick to jump to conclusions about people, especially when it comes to sensitive topics like this. Like, we already know that the vice-president and others on the administration's side are trying to spin a narrative here... but do we really know the whole story?

It seems like we're just accepting whatever they're feeding us without questioning it too much. But what if I told you that sometimes, the truth is hidden behind all those assumptions and biases? That we need to take a step back, breathe, and actually listen to the people involved in this case before we start jumping to conclusions?

It's not about being impartial; it's about staying curious and seeking out multiple sources of information. Because when we do that, we might just discover that there's more complexity to the story than we initially thought...
