Vance calls killing of Minneapolis woman by an ICE officer ‘a tragedy of her own making’
January 8, 2026
Vice President JD Vance is blaming a federal immigration officer’s fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman on “a left-wing network,” Democrats, the news media and the woman who was killed. Vance said Thursday he wasn’t worried about prejudging the investigation into the death of 37-year-old Renee Good. He said the videos he’d seen of the Wednesday incident show that “What you see is what you get in this case.” He said he was sad about her death but called her “brainwashed” and “a victim of left-wing ideology.” Vance also said the administration would name a prosecutor to investigate fraud in government assistance programs, starting in Minnesota.
