Minneapolis ICE shooting updates: Protests remain peaceful despite arrests: Officials

Minneapolis Public Schools are closed on Thursday and Friday in wake of the shooting.

Vice President JD Vance is continuing to speak out in defense of the ICE agent who shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good, boosting the administration's claims that the shooting was in self-defense.

Responding to a repost showing an elevated angle of the shooting, Vance said on X that Democrats should be asked, "Do you think this officer was wrong in defending his life against a deranged leftist who tried to run him over?"

"These people are going to try to arrest our law enforcement for doing their jobs. The least the media could do is ask them about it," Vance said.

Vance also responded to another account, which defended Good's actions. He called the analyses of the videos, which allege she was seen waving officers by to pass her and that she tried to leave the scene, "preposterous."

"The gaslighting is off the charts and I'm having none of it. This guy was doing his job. She tried to stop him from doing his job. When he approached her car, she tried to hit him," Vance said.

He continued: "A tragedy? Absolutely. But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with."

Tense protests are underway Thursday morning outside the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis. Federal agents were seen detaining a demonstrator as people held signs reading, "MURDERERS," and, "YOU'RE NOT WANTED OR WELCOME HERE."

It appears tear gas was deployed at one point.
