Lawmakers issue warning about homeland security budget after shooting death by federal agent of Renee Nicole Good

A day after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a 37-year-old US citizen in Minneapolis, Democrats on Capitol Hill are demanding restraints on the agency Donald Trump has empowered to carry out his mass deportation campaign – and some are threatening to use the next funding deadline to force those changes.

Democrats sharply condemned the Trump administration over the killing of Renee Nicole Good, demanding accountability after Trump, JD Vance, and Kristi Noem repeatedly claimed that the officer acted in “self-defense”.

Videos taken from multiple angles show Good behind the wheel, reversing her car and then attempting to drive away when an agent shoots her multiple times, remaining on his feet and walking away, apparently uninjured.

Axios reported on Thursday that Murphy was preparing to introduce a sweeping reform package that would require a warrant for arrests, ban agents from wearing masks during enforcement operations and limit border patrol agents from operating in cities far from the border.
