Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday that the deadly shooting of Renee Good by an immigration and customs enforcement officer is being reviewed in the same manner that the DHS reviews such shootings.
Appearing on CBS News, Noem said that they “are following the exact same investigative and review process” they had been using at ICE and DHS.
When asked if they were looking at the conduct of this agent, she said they were, and then said, “There always is.”
Noem labeled it “a tragedy,” but said she believed the officer was protecting himself and others because “Good weaponized her car.” The CBS host noted there are several elements of the situation that are in question.
The shooting has intensified backlash over federal immigration operations in the Twin Cities and sparked days of protests. A federal judge recently imposed limits on tactics used by federal agents in connection with the demonstrations, including restrictions on chemical agents and stops of bystanders near protest activity
Good, 37, was shot Jan. 7 during a confrontation in south Minneapolis. The City of Minneapolis said police responded to reports of shots fired near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue and found her with life-threatening gunshot wounds. She was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, where she later died.
