The Department of Homeland Security said the agent acted in self-defense and was justified in his actions. They said Good was a \u201cdomestic terrorist\u201d who weaponized her vehicle and attempted to run the agent over.<\/p>\n
“Our officer followed his training, did exactly what he’s been taught to do in that situation,” said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.<\/p>\n
Several notable officials in Minnesota, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, said the shooting was not justified and Good posed no threat to the agent.<\/p>\n
“They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense,\u201d Frey said. \u201cHaving seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bullsh-t.”<\/p>\n
Day 2 of protests<\/p>\n

Protesters wave at honk cars driving on Central Avenue in Phoenix<\/p>\n
Protests have erupted across the United States in response to the shooting. In Phoenix, Lexsiri Coronado, who helped organize Thursday\u2019s demonstration, marched down Central Avenue with hundreds of other protesters, blocking northbound traffic.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would be down the street, and there were cars beeping in support,\u201d she said. Protesters eventually turned south on Seventh Street, returning to the ICE facility.<\/p>\n
The Phoenix Police Department diverted traffic to clear the way for the protesters.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople would be coming out of their apartment complexes or on their balconies rooting us on, chanting with us,\u201d Coronado said. \u201cSome of them left their homes to come march with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
The protest lasted two hours before the crowd dispersed.<\/p>\n
Back at the ICE facility, Oei told the crowds that they must continue to stand with their immigrant brothers and sisters against racism, violence and fear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Protests continue nationwide in the wake of an ICE agent\u2019s fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman.
