Border czar Tom Homan questioned Sunday why Minnesota authorities should be involved in investigating an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent’s fatal shooting of a woman, arguing that they have thus far failed to cooperate with the Trump administration.
An ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good while carrying out an enforcement operation in Minneapolis on Jan. 7, prompting emotional reactions from Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota and Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis. Homan told “Fox News Sunday” guest host Jacqui Heinrich that Walz and Frey’s “irritates” him after Heinrich mentioned Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s comments defending the agent’s actions.
“It is a federal crime to impede or interfere with an ICE officer. … we can see what’s happening throughout the country, I think it’s a funded, organized attack against ICE officers,” Homan said. “And what irritates me is, the left wants to play this game that ICE they’re not law enforcement officers. They are federal law enforcement officers. Impeding them or interfering with them is a crime.”
