WASHINGTON (AP) — The killing of a Minnesota woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer is reverberating across Capitol Hill where Democrats, and certain Republicans, are vowing an assertive response as President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation operations spark protests nationwide.
Lawmakers are demanding a range of actions, from a full investigation into Renee Good’s shooting death and policy changes over law enforcement raids to the defunding of ICE operations and the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in what is fast becoming an inflection point.
“The situation that took place in Minnesota is a complete and total disgrace,” House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said as details emerged. “And in the next few days, we will be having conversations about a strong and forceful and appropriate response by House Democrats.”
Yet there is almost no consensus among the political parties in the aftermath of the death of Good, who was behind the wheel of an SUV after dropping off her 6-year-old at school when she was shot and killed by an ICE officer.
The killing immediately drew dueling narratives. Trump and Noem said the ICE officer acted in self-defense, while Democratic officials said the Trump administration was lying and they urged the public to see the viral videos of the shooting for themselves.
Vice President JD Vance blamed Good, calling it “a tragedy of her own making,” and said the ICE officer may have been “sensitive” from having been injured during an unrelated altercation last year.

“Killing”. How about suicide?
It is more likely that Congress would abolish ICE than they would the Department of Education.
How sad is that.
Congress debating how they can get rid of Trump and stay out of jail. He’s way ahead of them. He’s considered everything they can think of beg
Fore they thought of it.
It was deeply disturbing Sen MoreCowBellski.
Deeply disturbing that crazy lesbian leftists are trying to kill ICE agents.
“a tragedy of her own making”
I’ve read allegations that the adult passenger egged her on.
Any Republican voting for this should be forced to find other work.
There are going to be a lot more incidents like this.
The wimp squad in Congress better buckle up...
Btw—they didn’t seem to have a problem with 80 year old grandmothers going to prison for J6 wandering through the Capitol.
Yet these same commie a-holes CELEBRATED the murder of Ashlii Babbitt and gave her killer a congressional medal of freedom. Caroline Levitt on Monday should bring Ashlii’s husband to the podium to remind people that she was a WIFE and did NOT deserve to die..let these commies choke on their hypocrisy..by the way these commie idiots dont have the votes to do ANYTHING
Doesn’t Congress have an approval rating of about 15%?
Obama’s ICE agents arrested near two million and Biden ICE arrested at least a half million.
Trump didn’t just start using ICE. Wake up people.
Obama’s ICE agents arrested nearly two million bad guys and Biden ICE arrested at least a half million.
Trump didn’t just start using ICE. Wake up people.
Wishful thinking on these two losers part (MATT BROWN and LISA MASCARO) There is no there, there.
its the new “Run, Forest, Run!!”
Congress....
“One useless man is a disgrace, two are a law firm, and three or more become a Congress.”
——John Adams in movie 1776.
No allegation to it. It’s on video.
You are so kind to put it that way.
Not a mention of taking out the trash.
STAY OUT OF IT
“Any Republican voting for this should be forced to find other work”
The GOP Congresscritters are more comfortable being the minority
than leading.
