“DHS agents have sown chaos and terror across the metropolitan area,” Ellison added.
Last week, during ICE operations in south Minneapolis,a woman was fatally shotby an immigration officer as she drove her vehicle toward agents, prompting agitators to riot across the city in the following days.
Noem labeled the woman who was killed, Renee Nicole Good, as a “domestic terrorist,” asserting that Good “weaponized her vehicle” after blocking ICE agents on the road.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE to “get the f— out of Minneapolis,” during a news conference after Good’s death, and Gov.Tim Walzcriticized DHS, posting to X that he saw the video, and referred to Noem’s explanation of the incident as a part of a “propaganda machine.”
