Border Czar Frantically Backpedals After Breaking With Kristi Noem Over ICE Shooting
HuffPost
Tom Homan addressed the killing of a Minnesota woman, saying ICE agents face "heightened threat environments every day" and "have a right to self defense."
President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, backtracked his split from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s stance on the deadly shooting of a U.S. mother by immigration authorities in Minnesota Wednesday, now deflecting the blame.
“The incident in Minneapolis today is yet another tragic example of the results of the hateful rhetoric and violent attacks against the men and women of ICE and BP,” Homan wrote on X. “These brave men and women are forced to conduct law enforcement operations in heightened threat environments every day. Like all Americans, our officers have a right to self defense.”
Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident, was fatally shot by federal authorities on Wednesday morning.
Bystander footage of the incident showed Good’s SUV being surrounded by immigration authorities and reversing, turning the wheels of her car to leave before pulling forward when an officer fired a shot through her windshield, then continuing to fire their gun several more times through her open driver’s side window.
Despite the video’s narrative, those on the right have come out to bash Good. In a post on Truth Social, the president claimed the victim “was very disorderly,” a stance he doubled down on, later saying “she behaved horribly.” Vice President JD Vance called the deceased mother “a deranged leftist who tried to run [the officer] over.”
