In a recent interview, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that an internal investigation is underway concerning the actions of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer involved in the shooting death of Renee Good, aged 37. As per standard protocol, the officer has been placed on a three-day administrative leave following the incident.
Speaking on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” Noem emphasized, “We are adhering to the established investigative and review procedures that have long been in place within ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, and the current administration.”
She further clarified, “The processes we are following are identical to those used by the Biden administration. There have been no changes to these protocols.”
Noem also addressed a statement made by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who remarked, “The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.”
In response, Noem advised, “I would disregard Governor Walz’s comments. His record on such matters is quite poor.”
“Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan read from part of the agency’s handbook. She asked whether the Office of Professional Responsibility is conducting its own probe to determine whether the ICE agent violated protocol and was on three days of administrative leave, as is stated in the handbook.
“The protocol and the advice and the guidance within that handbook and within our policies is being followed exactly like it has been for years,” Noem said.
Brennan confirmed once again: “Okay, so there is some review of his actions, is what I understand you saying there.”
“Margaret, there always is,” Noem said. “Every law enforcement officer knows that when they take the oath to step up and to protect the public and put their lives on the line, they absolutely know that everything that they do will be analyzed and investigated.”
