The Minnesota ICE shooting that resulted in the death of Renee Good has sparked strong reactions everywhere.
According to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Good was driving a vehicle that agents ordered her to exit. Good, according to Noem, refused and “attempted to run them over and ram them with his vehicle.”
After Vice President JD Vance issued a strong statement defending ICE agents for their work, the White House released a graphic with part of Vance’s plea and the headline “STAND WITH ICE.”

Former MLB All-Star Mark Teixeira, who launched his campaign for Texas’ 21st Congressional District in August as a Republican to “help defend President Trump’s America First agenda,” voiced his support.
“I stand with ICE,” the former Texas Ranger, Atlanta Brave, Los Angeles Angel and New York Yankee wrote on X.
Teixeira’s announcement followed Rep. Chip Roy’s decision not to seek re-election and run for Texas Attorney General. Roy, who represents the district, made the announcement in a campaign video shared on X last year. His video centered on preserving the Lone Star State’s legacy of “freedom, liberty and self-determination.”

Noem called the incident “domestic terrorism”.
“One of our officers acted quickly and defensively, shooting to protect himself and the people around him,” she said.
Federal authorities said Good tried to run over ICE agents who was part of a 2,000-member team sent to the Twin Cities to round up and deport undocumented immigrant criminals.
Teixeira, 45, played 14 seasons in the majors. He debuted with the Rangers in 2003, but is perhaps best known for being an MVP candidate and World Series champion with the Yankees, the final stop of his career.

One of the best hitters in the game, Teixeira won the Silver Slugger Award three times and finished his career with a .269 batting average and 409 home runs. He won a five-time Gold Glove and was a member of the Yankees’ 2009 World Series championship team.
The congressional race is set for November 2026, with a primary scheduled for March.
