Rep. Michael Baumgartner calls for congressional hearing after ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis last week, saying lawmakers need full accounting of incident.
A House Republican is calling for a congressional hearing after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot a woman in Minneapolis last week.
“We need to make sure that people understand what happened and have a full accounting of it”, Rep. Michael Baumgartner, R-Wash., told Fox News Digital on Thursday.
Baumgartner is a member of the House Judiciary Committee, which shares oversight of ICE with the House Homeland Security Committee.
He cautioned people against “jumping to conclusions” about the incident in Minneapolis but said of federal agents, “It is so important for everyone’s safety that they’re able to do their jobs without people interfering.”
“You certainly never want to see somebody be killed”, Baumgartner said. “When you have a tragedy like this, oftentimes people want to map onto it whatever political partisan view they have on it.
