Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) rejected the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) stance on the Minneapolis ICE shooting, claiming the incident would not have been “domestic terrorism” even if the agent had been run over.
Breitbart News reported that an ICE agent fatally shot a woman who was allegedly driving her vehicle at him on Wednesday morning in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Homeland Security described the driver’s actions as “an act of domestic terrorism,” claiming the driver was “attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them.”
Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller also labeled the incident “Domestic terrorism.”
Rep. Goldman responded directly to Miller with an X post in which he wrote, “Even if the officer were run over, it’s not domestic terrorism.”
Later in his response to Miller, Goldman wrote, “You are inciting untrained thugs to murder Americans.”
Breitbart News noted that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) held a Wednesday afternoon presser in which he intimated that protesting ICE is “a patriotic duty at this point in time.”
