Subject: Spin Cycle: In Wake Of ICE Shooting, The Gaslights Are On -- But Is Anyone Home?

A shooting involving an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent
and an anti-ICE activist Renee Good left the former injured and the
latter dead. Despite evidence to the contrary provided in multiple
videos - from several different angles - media outlets were quick to
assist Democrats in their claims that the ICE agents were nothing more
than aggressors, carrying out the whims of President Donald Trump.

For those who don't spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television
- and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week's worth
of network and cable news media spin - The Daily Wire has compiled a
short summary of what you may have missed.

Even after videos emerged showing Good intentionally blocking federal
agents with her car and taunting them - and then accelerating and
striking the agent before he began firing his weapon - Democrats and
the legacy media persisted in pushing several distinct narratives.
While their coverage varied, the common thread was a simple one: the
ICE agents had done something wrong.

ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz brought in Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) to
discuss the situation, and Smith complained that the Department of
Homeland Security had referred to Good's behavior as "domestic
terrorism" before details had been released. Of course, by the time
Smith joined the broadcast, it had become apparent that Good was part
of an anti-ICE activist group and had been trained to obstruct federal
agents as they worked to enforce immigration law.

Smith claimed the ICE agents suddenly snapped after a friendly exchange
with protesters, arguing that better training would have prevented the incident.

"No professional law enforcement would exchange words or banter with
somebody who is engaged in their legal right to protest and then lose
control, which looks to me like what happened here," she said.

Raddatz also spoke with former acting ICE Director John Sandweg about
the shooting, asking how the landscape had changed in recent years.
Marching straight through the door Raddatz had opened for him, Sandweg
said that ICE had adopted new "tactics" - and that those tactics were
the real reason agents were facing dramatic increases in assaults
against them as well as confrontations that ended in violence.

"This is a new environment for ICE and it's not one that's part of
their core mission," he said, suggesting with no pushback from Raddatz
that the ICE agents stepping outside of their "core mission" was the
root cause of the problem.

On CBS News, "Face the Nation" anchor Margaret Brennan spoke with Rep.
Ilhan Omar (D-MN) about the shooting - and she too made the claim that
the ICE agent in question had not been properly trained.

"Renee Nicole Good, as you hear her say, she's not mad, she's sitting
in her car, peacefully waving cars to get by," Omar said, leaving out
the fact that Good had positioned her vehicle so that it created a
choke point that would only let one car, moving slowly, to get around
her. She then immediately identified the ICE officer as the aggressor, describing his actions as wholly unnecessary and suggesting that Good
was attempting to flee the scene because he'd scared her.

"And then you see the other officer, who can clearly see the car is
moving, move toward the front of the car, which if they are saying that
he has ten years on service and is trained, he should know that you
shouldn't be trying to get in front of a moving car," Omar claimed,
despite multiple video angles that show the officer standing in front
of the vehicle prior to Good's acceleration.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) tells @FaceTheNation it is "not
acceptable" for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, President Trump and
Vice President Vance to make judgements about the moments
surrounding the shooting of Renee Macklin Good by an ICE agent
in Minneapolis "without there being a.

Although Brennan offered no challenge to Omar's narrative - despite the
video evidence that contradicted it - she did push back slightly when
she asked whether it was reasonable to have citizens effectively
stalking federal agents while they were attempting to do their jobs.

Omar insisted that it was "very important" for Americans to record ICE
agents while they work "to create the level of accountability and transparency," adding, "I think it is fair for citizens to document
what law enforcement is doing in their communities."

On CNN's "State of the Union," anchor Jake Tapper spoke with
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), who claimed that the ICE presence in
his city was not doing anything to help people.

"ICE and Kristi Noem and everything they're doing is making
[Minneapolis] far less safe," he said, despite the growing list of
violent offenders who have been apprehended in his city since the surge
began.

Frey took things a bit further, also attempting to spin Renee Good's
clearly intentional blockage of traffic as her simply not being very
good at turning around. "(Renee Good) was doing a three or a four or five-point turn. if doing a three point turn or a four point turn is a domestic terrorist and my wife is a criminal every single day," he
said.

Mayor Frey doesn't know what a three-point turn is.
