Democrats have rushed to brand a Wednesday shooting involving ICE as “murder” and “state sanctioned execution.” After months of attacks against ICE agents, such rhetoric only serves one purpose: to justify more vigilante violence.
Renee Good was fatally shot Wednesday after accelerating her vehicle toward an ICE agent standing in front of it during an encounter in Minneapolis. The ICE agent fired what the Department of Homeland Security described as “defensive shots.” Notably, seconds before the shooting, law enforcement seemingly ordered Good to exit her vehicle — but instead, she tried to flee.
Nonetheless, Democrats have recklessly rushed to issue a verdict, that is, that the shooting was “murder.”
California Democrat Rep. Jimmy Gomez said on X: “This was the glove compartment of the mother your agents just murdered,” alongside a photo of what is presumably the inside of Good’s vehicle. Democrat New York Rep. Dan Goldman accused Stephen Miller of “inciting untrained thugs to murder Americans.”
