Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem left CNN<\/a> host Jake Tapper speechless as she slammed him for apparent bias over Wednesday’s shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an immigration enforcement officer.<\/p>\n

During a Sunday appearance onState of the Union, Noem was asked by Tapper if she was ‘doing a disservice’ to the ICE agent who shot Renee Good through the windshield of her car by drawing conclusions about the incident.<\/p>\n

Noem defiantly responded that she hadn’t heard Tapper ‘say once what a disservice it’s done for Mayor Frey to get up and tell ICE to get the F out!’<\/p>\n

Her response was met with praise from internet users, with one fan saying <\/a>the top Trump official ‘just absolutely crushed Jake Tapper.’<\/p>\n

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE agents to leave his city after Wednesday’s shooting, and Frey was also asked about Noem’s criticism of him during his own subsequent appearance on CNN Sunday.<\/p>\n

Frey didn’t buy the idea that his own rhetoric needed to change, telling Tapper that he ‘said this was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying because that was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying.’<\/p>\n

Prior to his CNN appearance, Frey appeared to double down on his earlier stances on his X account. writing that ‘today is a good day for ICE to get out of Minnesota<\/a>.’<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has come to Ross’s defense over his shooting of Good, saying it occurredafterGood intended to run the agent down with her car,<\/span>while Democratic officials in Minneapolis say it was a murder.<\/p>\n

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker also noted during his own appearance on CNN<\/a>that Noem should ‘resign or be impeached’ and that DHS Spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin should not have the job that she has’ because ‘she’s a pathological liar.’<\/p>\n

Filmmaker JZ Murdock wrote on X <\/a>that he believed Noem was ‘undeniably lying through her teeth.’<\/p>\n

An X user posting under the handle of @BigLee84 added that Noem doesn’t deserve peace in any space that she’s in.’<\/p>\n

Others, however, backed up Noem, including engineer and author Michael A. Rothman, who believes<\/a> that Noem ‘provided facts and context to back up her defense of the officers actions.’<\/p>\n

During an interview with the New York Times last Wednesday evening, President Donald Trump told reporters<\/a> that Good ‘behaved horribly’ adding that she ran the ICE officer over. ‘She didn’t try to run him over. She ran him over,’ Trump noted at the time.<\/p>\n

ICE has also claimed Good deliberately drove her burgundy SUV at agents, but witnesses dispute the claims, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey calling it ‘bulls**t’.<\/p>\n

Witnesses claimed Good and her wife, Rebecca, were allegedly acting as legal observers and filming the protest when she was shot.<\/p>\n

But ICE insisted she tried to use the SUV as a deadly weapon.<\/p>\n

Footage of the shooting showed the victim blocking the road with her car until ICE agents told her to move away.<\/p>\n

She reversed to head back down the road as an agent tried to open the driver’s side door handle before she drove off. Three shots then rang out.<\/p>\n

Good lost control of the SUV and slammed it into parked cars and a light pole at high speed, prompting screams of shock from horrified onlookers.<\/p>\n

Her SUV was seen with a bullet hole through the driver’s side windshield.<\/p>\n

Good and Rebecca are understood to have fled the US after Trump’s victory in 2024, going briefly to Canada before settling in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

They have a six-year-old child together.<\/p>\n

State and local officials demanded ICE leave Minnesota after Good’s death. But Noem has said agents are not going anywhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
