Vice President JD Vance says new video proves an ICE agent acted in self-defense. The footage shows the moments before the death of Renee Nicole Good.
New Video Evidence
The 37-year-old mother died during a shooting in Minnesota last Wednesday. Media outlet Alpha News obtained clear footage from the phone of agent Jonathan Ross.
JD Vance shared the clip on X to defend federal law enforcement. He claims the video shows the agent was in danger from a car.
Official Statements Made
Vance stated that Ross fired his weapon to protect his own life. “The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self-defense.” The Vice President also criticized the media for lying about the officer.
Tense Moments Recorded
The video shows Good sitting in her Honda Pilot before the shooting. Her wife, Rebecca Good, is heard telling her to drive the vehicle.
Ross ordered the woman to exit the car, but she ignored him. Then, she revved the engine and drove toward the officer.
Shooting Details Emerge
Ross fired three shots through the windshield as the car moved. One shot killed Good before her car hit two parked vehicles.
Democrats have called Ross a murderer following the deadly encounter. However, the Trump administration says the agent feared being run down.
Past Officer Injuries
Ross is an experienced agent who was injured on duty last year. A car dragged him 100 yards during a separate arrest in Bloomington.
Vance called Good a victim of left-wing ideology after the incident. Meanwhile, the Minneapolis Mayor called the self-defense claim garbage.
