Yahoo • • nation
Key Points:
- A video showing a U.S. immigration agent fatally shooting Renee Good, a Minneapolis mother, has sparked nationwide division, with the Trump administration defending the agent and labeling Good a domestic terrorist, while local leaders and protesters condemn the shooting.
- Six Trump voters interviewed by Reuters after viewing the video unanimously concluded that the agent feared for his life and that the shooting was justified, reflecting the Trump administration's stance that Good weaponized her vehicle against the officer.
- Protesters and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey strongly dispute this view, arguing the video shows reckless use of power by the agent and that Good's actions indicated peaceful intentions rather than a threat.
- The interviewed voters expressed sympathy for law enforcement under stressful conditions and blamed Democratic leaders for fostering anti-ICE
