Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended ICE’s aggressive operations after the Jan. 7 Minneapolis shooting of Renee Nicole Good, insisting agents acted lawfully and that video supported their account. She told reporters agents may ask nearby people to prove identity and said “it’s also breaking the law to conceal carry in Minnesota without an ID on you.” Critics accuse Noem and DHS of rushing to judgment after videos showed disputed footage and of detaining U.S. citizens; protests and calls for independent investigations followed. Noem’s remarks underscore rising tensions over Trump-era immigration enforcement and have drawn bipartisan concern and legal scrutiny. (people.com)
