"CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil grilled border czar Tom Homan about the behavior of immigration officers conducting raids across the U.S. On Wednesday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis. Good was driving with her wife and reportedly stopped to film agents on the street. Video taken from the incident shows agents approaching the vehicle, which begins to turn away from the agents, one of whom fired multiple shots into the vehicle."
"DOKOUPIL: These videos that four months and months have been going around that people watch and they share, and they say, Look at this case of excessive force. Again, I'm not going to litigate any particular incident or ask you in detail about it. But I'm curious, you've seen these videos. I'm sure you've seen more than is even public. Have you seen any examples of clear, excessive force displayed by ICE agents and officers in the field?"
"And when I hear or see a story that an allegation is made, I follow up, make sure it's being fully investigated. But I haven't seen one ICE officer found guilty of anything inappropriate. Look, again, I'm not involved in every arrest. W're making thousands of arrests a day. Over 2,000 a day on average. I can't be aware of every ICE arrest. I trust the men and women of ICE and Border Patrol are well-trained. They get Fourth Amendment training every six months"
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis after she reportedly stopped to film agents while driving with her wife; video shows agents approaching the vehicle and one agent firing multiple shots. The Homeland Security Secretary blamed Good and alleged domestic terrorism. A senior federal immigration official declined to offer an immediate assessment and urged that investigations play out. When asked about patterns of excessive force, the official denied seeing clear examples, said allegations are investigated, asserted no ICE officer had been found guilty of inappropriate conduct, and emphasized regular training including biannual Fourth Amendment training amid thousands of daily arrests.
