  • Jen Psaki Debunks “Domestic Terrorist” Narrative in ICE Shooting of Renee Nicole Good

    MS NOW host Jen Psaki has issued a scathing critique of the Trump administration following the release of new footage regarding the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota.

    Blue Press Journal – MS NOW host Jen Psaki has issued a scathing critique of the Trump administration following the release of new footage regarding the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota.

    In a segment that has sparked widespread online discussion, Psaki called out President Donald Trump and his officials for labeling Good a “domestic terrorist.” The host argued that fresh video evidence contradicts the administration’s narrative and exposes the “disgusting and ridiculous” nature of the claims made against the 35-year-old victim.

    The Incident and the Initial Narrative

    The confrontation occurred earlier this week in Minnesota when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents engaged with Good. Following the incident, the Trump administration and right-wing media outlets moved quickly to characterize the shooting as justified.

    Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin noted that the White House has given ICE’s communications sector “autonomy to create content that is effectively reaching the American public.” In this context, the administration asserted that Good posed a lethal threat to the agent involved, Jonathan Ross.

    Vice President JD Vance went so far as to call the killing “a tragedy of her own making,” implying that Good’s actions necessitated the lethal force used against her.

    The Video Evidence

    The debate centers on footage allegedly captured by the shooter, Agent Ross, on his cell phone. Psaki played this clip on MS NOW, noting that “the right” has seized upon it as vindication.

    The administration’s argument relies on a specific interpretation of the footage: because Ross appears to fumble his camera and a loud noise is heard, they claim Good ran over or struck the agent with her vehicle.

    However, Psaki highlighted three key inconsistencies in this theory:

    1. Multiple Angles: Because locals were filming a heavy ICE presence in the area (triggered by an ICE vehicle getting stuck in the snow), there is corroborating footage from different perspectives.
    2. Vehicle Positioning: When synced with other angles, the video shows that the car was already moving in the opposite direction. The agent’s feet are positioned away from the vehicle, not underneath it.
    3. Lack of Life-Threatening Behavior: Psaki argued that the video disproves the claim that Good was attacking the agent.

    A Timeline of the Confrontation

    The footage reveals the moments leading up to the gunfire. Ross is seen approaching Good’s vehicle, which was partially blocking the road. Despite the escalating situation, Good can be heard telling the agent, “That’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you.”

    As Good’s wife confronts Ross from outside the car, the agent circles the vehicle and eventually stands in front of it. Good attempts to de-escalate and leave the scene, turning the wheel to the right and pulling forward slightly.

    At this moment, Agent Ross drops his phone. A voice is heard saying “Whoa!” before multiple shots are fired. Following the shooting, Ross is seen walking away from the scene.

    Perhaps most damning for the administration’s narrative is the audio captured immediately after the shots: a voice is heard saying, “Fucking bitch.”

    Psaki’s Analysis

    Psaki dissected the audio and visual evidence, questioning the logic of the administration’s defense.

    “It’s hard to say what we’re actually hearing” in the moments the camera fumbles, Psaki admitted, while noting that federal agents generally do not film with their phones while facing a life-threatening situation.

    “But if you sync up that video with the other angle of that same moment, you can see that the car does not appear to run the agent over,” she emphasized.

    The Bottom Line

    The MS NOW host concluded with a poignant reminder of Good’s final words. “Renee Nicole Good told those officers, ‘I’m not mad at you,’” Psaki said. “That’s the woman the Trump administration called a domestic terrorist.”

    She continued, “And all this new video does is make clear that those claims are just as disgusting and ridiculous as they were before we saw this new video. She said, ‘I’m not mad at you.’ And 25 seconds after she uttered those words, she was shot.”

    As the story develops, the release of this footage stands as a critical piece of evidence challenging the official account of the death of Renee Nicole Good.

  • Fatal Police Confrontation Raises Questions About Use of Force by ICE

    Blue Press Journal – The shocking video footage of ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good, after she tried to drive away from a confrontation, has sparked widespread debate and concern among law enforcement experts. Provoking an even more critical perspective, former FBI special agent Michael Feinberg described Ross’s actions as “the height of unprofessionalism.”

    The disturbing footage, captured from Ross’s own cell phone, showed the officer repeatedly tugging at Good’s car door as she tried to escape the scene. As the vehicle began to move, Ross stepped in front and opened fire, with three shots ringing out as the car passed beside him. Good’s vehicle subsequently veered off the road and crashed, resulting in her fatal injuries.

    Under Minnesota’s use-of-force laws, law enforcement officers are permitted to employ deadly force when circumstances suggest a reasonable officer would believe 

    such action necessary to protect themselves or others from imminent death or severe harm. Similarly, federal statutes allow deadly force when there is probable cause to believe a person poses an immediate threat of death or serious bodily injury.

    However, in discussing the Good case, experts emphasize the critical importance of adherence to departmental guidelines and training. As Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.), a former prosecutor for Prince George’s County, notes, “When you prosecute these cases, the issue is going to be, was it consistent with this training and with the departmental standards?”

    Feinberg, too, stresses the need for officers to prioritize situational awareness and maintain control of their environment. “There is never a situation where if I thought I was in danger, I would preoccupy one of my usable hands by taking a video of the person to whom I was talking,” he asserts. “You want your hands free to respond to the situation.”

    The lethal confrontation between Good, her wife Becca, and Ross has elicited disbelief from many experts, who see little justification for the deployment of deadly force in this specific scenario. Feinberg bluntly states, “Frankly, law enforcement officers overreacting to what admittedly might be some sarcastic and lightly combative civilians, but I don’t see a situation that would require the application of deadly force.”

    As the nation grapples with the implications of this incident, it becomes increasingly clear that a thorough examination of the circumstances, training protocols, and the officer’s actions will be essential in determining the appropriateness of Ross’s response. The tragic loss of life demands a critical, nuanced analysis, one that balances the complexities of a high-stress confrontation with the fundamental principles of law enforcement.

  • Accountability Needed: The Unjustified Shooting of Renee Nicole Good by ICE Agent

    Blue Press Journal – On January 7th, 2026, a disturbing incident unfolded in Minneapolis, where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. The circumstances surrounding the shooting have sparked widespread outrage and criticism, with many calling into question the actions of the ICE agent involved. As the investigation into this incident continues, it is imperative that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.

    According to eyewitness footage and expert analysis, the ICE agent who shot Good failed to follow accepted police training protocols. Gil Kerlikowske, former Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) during the Obama administration, stated on CNN that the agent’s actions were “tactics that no legitimate law enforcement agency would use.” Kerlikowske emphasized that the agent’s decision to stand in front of Good’s vehicle and attempt to open the door handle put himself in harm’s way, a clear example of “self-imposed jeopardy.” The Supreme Court has recently weighed in on this issue, underscoring the importance of law enforcement officers avoiding such situations.

    The video footage of the incident is disturbing. As the maroon SUV reverses and attempts to leave the scene, three ICE agents surround the vehicle. One agent approaches the driver’s side window, shouting “get out of the fucking car,” while another moves towards the front of the vehicle, which is against police protocol and places himself in self-imposed jeopardy. As the car accelerates to the right, the agent at the front left corner fires at least three shots into the driver’s side window. The fact, which is on tape, that Good was allowing another car to pass through the area before attempting to drive away raises questions about the agent’s justification for using deadly force.

    The aftermath of the shooting is equally troubling. A physician who approached the scene to offer assistance was denied access by the ICE agents, who claimed they had their own medics on the way. This response not only demonstrates a lack of concern for Good’s well-being but also highlights the agency’s prioritization of their own protocols over the needs of the individual involved.

    News outlets have extensively covered the incident, with many criticizing the ICE agent’s actions. On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” the panel repeatedly showed the footage of the shooting, highlighting the agent’s questionable behavior. “That’s not, you would think, the behavior of someone who was then planning to use their vehicle as a weapon when she’s letting another car drive through,” one panelist noted. The agent’s decision to grab the door handle, again placing himself in self-imposed jeopardy, which escalated the situation, and again has also been called into question.

    ICE’s response to the incident has been widely criticized as misleading. In their initial statement, the agency failed to provide accurate information about the events leading up to the shooting. This lack of transparency has contributed to the growing distrust of ICE’s handling of the situation.

    As the investigation into the shooting continues, it is essential that the ICE agent responsible is held accountable for their actions. The fact that Good was unarmed and posed no immediate threat to the agents involved raises serious concerns about the use of deadly force. The agent’s failure to follow established protocols and the agency’s subsequent misrepresentation of the facts demonstrate a clear need for greater oversight and accountability within ICE and the agents.

    As we move forward, it is crucial that those responsible for this incident are brought to justice and that measures are taken to prevent similar incidents in the future. The public deserves transparency and accountability from law enforcement agencies.
