\u201cThe reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense,» the vice president said.<\/b>
\nVice President JD Vance said Friday that the new footage of Renee Nicole Good\u2019s deadly encounter with a federal agent makes clear the immigration officer\u2019s \u201clife was endangered\u201d when he opened fire on her SUV.
\u201cWatch this, as hard as it is,\u201d Vance said on X.
\u201cMany of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn\u2019t hit by a car, wasn\u2019t being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman.
\u201cThe reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense.\u201d
The new video, recorded on the cell phone of ICE officer Jonathan Ross, shows Renee\u2019s wife, Rebecca, mocking federal officers outside the couple\u2019s SUV while Renee was in the driver\u2019s seat with the window down.
As the situation escalates, an officer instructs Renee to exit the car \u2013 but the 37-year-old mother of three instead puts the car in motion as Rebecca tells her to drive away, according to the video.
Minnesota lawmakers, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, have decried Ross\u2019 actions while the Trump administration has argued Good \u201cwillfully\u201d drove into him, forcing him to use deadly force.<\/p>\n
