Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that a Minneapolis woman who was killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Wednesday was responsible for her own death as part of a “larger, sinister left-wing movement that has spread across our country” — and said the Trump administration would redouble its crackdown on the left in response.
“I can believe that her death is a tragedy, while also recognizing that it’s a tragedy of her own making and a tragedy of the far left who has marshaled an entire movement, a lunatic fringe, against our law-enforcement officers,” Vance said of the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three.
He also echoed rhetoric from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who accused Good of “domestic terrorism.” Vance said she was part of a trend of “left-wing radicals … sometimes using domestic-terror techniques” to block immigration agents from deportation efforts.
