It Sure Looks Like The Trump Administration Is Trying To Cover Up A Killing

Getting a fair outcome from an investigation into the shooting "feels very, very difficult," Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz lamented.
Within hours of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shooting 37-year-old mom Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Americans she already had all the answers.
“It was an act of domestic terrorism,” Noem announced during an unrelated press conference at the Texas border on Wednesday.
Good, who had not yet been identified, “attacked [ICE agents] and those surrounding them” and “attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle,” Noem continued.
It was the first indication that President Donald Trump’s administration would be playing offense, not defense, over the shooting, by demonizing Good and pushing Minnesota authorities out of the FBI’s probe into the shooting.
As Noem spoke, footage of the incident was already circulating, and it didn’t back up her authoritative rhetoric about what unfolded. Multiple camera angles showed masked ICE agents approaching Good’s car as it partially blocked a road, grabbing at the door handle, reaching through the open window of her vehicle and then an officer (identified by The Star Tribune as Jonathan Ross) shooting her dead at close range as she tried to drive away from the agents, who, for the most part, lack legal authority to arrest U.S. citizens.
