Donald Trump’s administration labeled a 37-year-old woman who was fatally shot by a federal officer a “violent rioter” who committed an act of “domestic terrorism” in the immediate aftermath of Wednesday’s deadly confrontation before any investigation determined what happened and why.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and administration officials have vigorously defended her agency’s response, insisting that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fired three shots at Renee Good while she was behind the wheel of her car was “surrounded and assaulted” by protesters.
