Overview
- Vice President JD Vance defended the ICE officer who shot Renee Nicole Good, citing a prior incident in which he said the agent was dragged by a car and received 33 stitches.
- Vance told reporters the media wrongly portrayed Good as an innocent motorist and alleged she tried to obstruct a lawful operation.
- Brzezinski criticized Vance for using the White House podium to malign a dead victim and to speculate about facts she said he did not know.
- She questioned why a reportedly traumatized officer remained in the field and asked whether that made him “trigger-happy.”
- The agent was identified by the Minnesota Star Tribune as Jonathan Ross, and Brzezinski said the administration is trying to sway public opinion about ICE.
