"What we're talking about is one of the most important operations to him, personally, in his administration, and that is sending ICE out into these communities to try to take people, and you know, kick them out of the country who are in the United States illegally. So of course, he is going to from his point of view, clearly defend ICE, even though you showed him the video. Listen to what Kristi Noem and what J.D. Vance said."
"KRISTI NOEM, HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY: ICE agents repeatedly ordered her to get out of the car and to stop instructing obstructing law enforcement, but she refused to obey their commands. J.D. VANCE, VICE PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: I'm not happy that this woman was there at a protest violating the law by interfering with a law enforcement action. Ramming an ICE officer with your car. That's what justifies being shot."
An ICE agent named Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis during a disputed incident that was caught on camera. The Trump administration and allied officials publicly defended ICE and framed the encounter as law enforcement responding to obstruction. Kristi Noem and J.D. Vance described Good as refusing orders and interfering with an ICE action, and they justified the use of force. Stephen Colbert labeled the administration's stance "Obey or die" in late-night commentary. Dana Bash contrasted the administration's defenses with Colbert's commentary and noted that late-night hosts can distill public sentiment about enforcement priorities and political responses.
