People within President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security on Thursday are reportedly appalled by what they saw in the video showing the moment an ICE agent shot and killed a Minneapolis mother inside her car.
CNN anchor Brianna Keilar described the number of questions raised within Trump's own agency following Vice President JD Vance's comments suggesting that 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was to blame for the fatal shooting, and his complaining about the media over questions surrounding the actions of the ICE officer, since identified as Jonathan Ross.
"We are listening there to Vice President JD Vance, who vehemently blamed Renee Nicole Good for her own death, stressed robust actions that are going to take place for federal fraud investigations in Minnesota. But not much about an investigation into what happened when it came to Good's killing," Keilar said.
In 2022, federal law enforcement agencies prohibited officers from shooting at moving vehicles and updated training policies to include that standard. The Trump administration has cited that Ross reportedly feared for his life, and Vance claimed that he had immunity in the fatal shooting.
"Even as he was lambasting the press for media coverage of all of this, there are a number of people inside of DHS who are aghast at what they saw in that video, and we need to be clear about that," Keilar added. "We are reporting what we have heard from sources. We are reporting what law enforcement, former law enforcement sources familiar with use of force protocols are saying and questions that they are raising about how this was carried out."
