The killing of a Minnesota woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer has sent shockwaves through Capitol Hill, where Democrats — and some Republicans too — are vowing an aggressive response. President Trump’s expanded deportation operations have already sparked protests across the country, and now lawmakers are demanding action. Calls range from a full investigation into the death of Renee Nicole Good to changes in federal raid policy, defunding ICE operations, and even the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as the episode becomes a potential turning point in the national debate.
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York called the incident “a complete and total disgrace,” saying Democrats will soon outline a “strong and appropriate response.”
Still, there’s little agreement across party lines about what happened or what should come next. Good, who was shot and killed by an ICE officer after dropping her young child at school, has become a flashpoint in the broader controversy over federal immigration enforcement — with lawmakers sharply divided over who’s to blame and how to respond.
