Chaos erupted on live TV as a top Homeland Security official struggled to defend the agency’s explosive accusations against Renee Nicole Good, the Minnesota mother gunned down by ICE agent Jonathan Ross.

Tricia McLaughlin, the department’s Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, faced an onslaught on CNN’s The Situation Room when grilled about DHS calling Good a ‘domestic terrorist.’

McLaughlin, appearing flustered, stuck to the government’s controversial script, claiming, ‘We labeled her actions as domestic terrorism for a reason. She used a deadly weapon against our ICE officer.’ But hosts Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown shot back, slamming DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s statement branding the 37-year-old mom as a ‘domestic terrorist’ as ‘outrageous.’

As the cameras rolled, Brown reminded viewers Good was just returning home after dropping off her six-year-old son, questioning every detail of DHS’s narrative. But McLaughlin dug in deeper, insisting, ‘That’s simply not true—I have the real facts.’ She alleged that, starting early that morning, Good had been ‘stalking and harassing law enforcement’ and then ‘used her car as a weapon.’

Debate intensified as McLaughlin insisted, ‘At 9:30 a.m. in Minneapolis, this individual purposely blocked our federal agents—an actual crime. If you ignore lawful commands and weaponize your vehicle, that is domestic terrorism.’

But video and eyewitness testimony tell a radically different story. Footage shows ICE agents aggressively surrounding Good’s car while she sat motionless. As the feds barked commands, Good slowly reversed, steered, and edged forward. That’s when ICE agent Ross fired three fatal shots, sending her car crashing into a parked vehicle. In the aftermath, an agent can be heard hurling a vile slur.

Renee Nicole Good, a mother and widow, lost her life during this deadly Minneapolis encounter, leaving the public—and America’s airwaves—demanding answers the DHS seems unwilling to give.
