All we can be sure of is that ICE denied a dying US citizen medical care.
If one cares about those sorts of things.

Renee Good had a pulse when EMS arrived. I’m not sure it would have made a difference if ICE had let that civilian physician render aid before EMS arrived, but now we will never know. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.
A Disturbing Pattern Has Emerged In Trump's Second Term — And It's Playing Out With Renee Good
“How else do you justify shooting a stay-at-home mom with stuffed animals in her car?” the attorney for one woman who survived a federal agent’s gunfire told HuffPost.

Reports and videos show ICE agents asking American citizens whether they’ve “learned their lesson over the last few days” are deeply troubling. Language like this implies intent and raises serious questions about premeditation and mindset on the scene.

That is why this incident hits so deeply at a human level.
It undermines the rule of law. When armed federal agents can use deadly force, leave the scene, and then control the narrative afterward, accountability becomes fragile at best.

Even in death, women are denied the bare minimum of respect.
This pathetic, rage-filled coward—after murdering her in cold blood—called her a “fucking bitch” mere seconds after shooting her dead.
The contemptible misogyny doesn’t even pause for a corpse to cool.

I need to see a freeze frame, but in the NYT video it looks to me like Ross unholsters his weapon before Good even switches the gear into drive. That is why his gun is out and in a position to shoot when she moves forward. Anticipatory "self-defense" www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...
