Minnesota Democratic Sen. Tina Smith said Sunday that the Trump administration was "attempting to cover up what happened" in the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday. ABC News obtained cell phone video of the incident that was taken by the ICE agent who fired the shots.
"I think what we are seeing here is the federal government -- [Department of Homeland Security Secretary] Kristi Noem, Vice President [JD] Vance, [President] Donald Trump -- attempting to cover up what happened here in the Twin Cities, and I don't think that people here and around the country are believing it," Smith told ABC News' "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz.
Trump administration officials have asserted that Good was attempting to run over the ICE officer with her car, prompting the officer to shoot her in what they say was self-defense. Noem said Good's actions were an act of "domestic terrorism." Local officials and many Democratic lawmakers have disputed DHS's assessment of the incident.
"You are saying the administration is trying to cover up this shooting. That's a pretty serious charge. What do you mean exactly," Raddatz asked. "What I mean by that is that you can see everything that they are doing is trying to shape the narrative, to say what happened, without any investigation," Smith said. Smith went on to criticize the administration for its response to the shooting.

It's just like what is going on with Kilmar Abrego Garcia - they fucked up, and did so boldly and arrogantly. And then when caught in their lies, they tried to retroactively manufacture a justification for what they did - all to refuse to concede that they fucked up.
The same is going on with the "Epstein Files". Back in February 2025, Bondi boldly proclaimed that she had the files "sitting on my desk ready to review", and now here we are almost a year later...
