Hillary Clinton sparks livid backlash after saying Minneapolis ICE taking pictures sufferer was ‘murdered’
Hillary Clinton has sparked an onslaught of criticism after the Democrat condemned the ICE shooting in Minnesota with the claim Renee Nicole Good was ‘murdered’ by federal agent Jonathan Ross.
The liberal former first lady, senator and secretary of state praised protesters who demanded the agency leave Minneapolis after the death of the 37-year-old woman.
‘Last night, at the corner where an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, thousands of Minnesotans gathered in the frigid dark to protest her killing. In the face of this administration’s lawless violence, solidarity is the answer. They want to mold America to their cruelty. We refuse,’ she wrote.
Conservatives immediately jumped on the statement as in bad taste.
‘This is disgusting. You’re directly endangering lives with this post, madam. As you sit in your country manor with your guards and full staff,’ Megyn Kelly wrote.
Charles Gasparino asked: ‘Again, “murder”? Now there’s a specific legal definition for the word murder and do we really know that what happened the other day was in fact a murder? Isn’t Hillary a lawyer? This stuff is 101.’
‘Democratic Party elites very much want riots, violence, and dead protesters in Minneapolis. They are openly agitating for it,’ John Daniel Davidson added.
Clinton joins the rest of the Democrat Party in being unified in anger over the death of Good.

Hyper-woke Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE to ‘get the f*** out’ of Minneapolis in a fiery, expletive-ridden speech.
‘They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense,’ Frey said at an emotional press conference. ‘Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bulls***. To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis. We don’t want you here.’
In a monologue for his show on Wednesday, liberal comedian Jimmy Kimmel spoke of the shooting and Trump’s response, calling him a ‘maniac’.
He lambasted Trump’s characterization of Renee’s behavior during her final moments: ‘Now, I saw this video. It didn’t look like anybody got run over to me. It looked to me like a woman got scared, tried to drive away, and they shot her’.
He was quick to add, however, that a ruling on blame was for ‘the court to decide’.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz echoed Frey’s analysis, saying in a statement released on X: ‘I’ve seen the video. Don’t believe this propaganda machine.
‘The state will ensure there is a full, fair, and expeditious investigation to ensure accountability and justice.’
Also joining the chorus of critics was California governor Gavin Newsom, who said the shooting was ‘state-sponsored terrorism.’

He added that ICE ‘has rampaged across America’ over the past year.
‘His administration has driven extremism and cruelty while discarding basic safeguards and accountability,’ he wrote.
‘Now, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen is dead. Donald Trump owns this. His deliberate escalation of intimidation and chaos has consequences. His reckless crackdown must end.’
But Trump’s political allies have doubled down on their support for the president and ICE.
JD Vance called on Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to ‘work even harder’ amid growing protests against the agency.
‘To the radicals assaulting them, doxxing them, and threatening them: congratulations, we’re going to work even harder to enforce the law,’ he wrote on X.
The president has previously claimed on his Truth Social page that Good was ‘a professional agitator’ who ‘violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer’ before the agent acted in self defense.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem then reiterated that claim as she spoke to reporters Wednesday night, claiming that Good had been ‘stalking’ agents prior to the shooting.

‘It’s very clear that this individual was harassing and impeding law enforcement operations,’ she said, before calling on federal prosecutors to charge individuals who use their vehicles to ram ICE agents as domestic terrorism.

Walz activated the National Guard on Thursday as unrest spread across Minneapolis following the shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a federal ICE agent.
The governor signed the executive order to activate the National Guard in the city citing that ‘Minnesotans are feeling scared, angry, and disillusioned.’
Superintendent Drew Evans said Thursday that the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension had stepped away from the investigation, with the FBI taking over the case.
Walz said that ‘people in positions of power’ had made ‘verifiably false, verifiably inaccurate’ conclusions about the case and that ‘Minnesota must be part of this investigation’ in a press conference on Thursday.
DHS had deployed more than 2,000 officers to the area in what it says is its largest-ever immigration enforcement operation.
The shooting has sparked furious political condemnation, including Democratic lawmakers branding it ‘murder,’ but legal experts say the question of criminal liability turns on narrow technicalities under deadly force law – not public outrage.
