Donald Trump’s heavy-handed Border Czar Tom Homan stumbled and fumbled trying to defend DHS Sec Kristi Noem calling Renée Good a terrorist, instead blaming the city of Minneapolis for her death because of their immigration policies.
Homan, like all Trump officials, is attempting to muddy the waters on what happened to Good in order to shield his ICE agents from criminal charges.
WELKER: And yet what Minneapolis officials are arguing is that the way that ICE officials are carrying out their duties may be adding to the tension.
Secretary Noem labeled this an act of domestic terrorism. What’s the evidence for that allegation, Mr. Harmon?
HOMAN: Bottom line is, bottom line is, again, why are we in Minneapolis? If they didn’t have the sanctuary policies they had.
WEELKER: But do you have evidence that she’s a domestic terrorist?
The bottom line is an ICE agent murdered a woman in a car without cause. The idea of labeling Good as a domestic terrorism is despicable. If Good was planting a bomb to blow up ICE agents, I’d say that’s terrorism. It’s obvious she was trying to drive away when she was shot in the face and murdered.
It also undermines the actual definition of a domestic terrorist.
Homan then attempted to defend Trump and Noem calling Good a terrorist by rewriting the definition of terrorism but offered up weak sauce to do so.
