Minneapolis Debate Club Can't Agree if ICE Shooting Is Murder or Terrorism
KEY POINTS
- â˘On January 6, 37-year-old Renee Good was fatally shot following an ICE operation in South Minneapolis.
- â˘Political leaders immediately fractured the narrative, with Trump calling Good a 'domestic terrorist' and Mayor Frey denouncing DHS claims.
- â˘Governor Walz prepared the National Guard and cautioned protesters to stay peaceful to avoid escalating tensions further.
In a professional-grade democracy meltdown, Minneapolis quickly split over a January 6 ICE shooting involving 37-year-old Renee Good. Left called the federal agent 'rogue' for a crackdown they swore never should've happened. Meanwhile, the right branded Good a 'domestic terrorist' for allegedly running over an ICE officer, whom Trump praised for surviving 'violently, willfully, and viciously.' Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey jumped in, telling ICE to 'get the f*ck out' and calling the DHS version 'bullsh*t.' Meanwhile, Governor Tim Walz, still tired from 2020's George Floyd protests, strapped the National Guard in and warned protesters not to 'take the bait'âbecause apparently, everyoneâs on edge over fame and federal beef.
