ICE Minneapolis shooting: Noem to deploy hundreds more federal agents to city

Democrats have threatened to impeach Noem over the killing, while noting that an investigation into the incident is underway. On Thursday, state officials with Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension claimed that the FBI is impeding the state-level investigation.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, in a Sunday interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” demanded an impartial investigation of the incident.

“Let’s have the investigation in the hands of someone that isn’t biased,” he said. “Let’s not have it exclusively run through the FBI at the federal government or the Department of Justice.”

“When you’ve got a federal administration that is so quick to jump on a narrative as opposed to the truth, I think we all need to be speaking out,” Frey added.

Frey also bristled at Noem’s characterization of Good’s actions.

“They were trying to leave the scene; that is not a person that’s trying to run an ICE agent over,” Frey said.

Noem on CNN blamed Frey and other Democrats, including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, for the killing, arguing their rhetoric has prompted people to attempt to obstruct ICE. Frey called for ICE to “Get the f— out of Minneapolis,” in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

“They’ve extremely politicized and inappropriately talked about the situation on the ground in their city, they’ve inflamed the public,” Noem said on CNN Sunday. “They’ve encouraged the kind of destruction and violence that we’ve seen in Minneapolis the last several days.”

Frey, asked on NBC to respond to Noem, said, “I’m sorry I offended their delicate ears.”

“I dropped an F-bomb, and they killed somebody. I think the ‘killing somebody’ is the inflammatory element here, not the F-bomb,” Frey said. 

On NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, White House Border Czar Tom Homan argued that everyone should “let the investigation play out.”

“I don’t know what [the] secretary has that I don’t,” Homan said, though he said he believes what Good did was illegal.
