"I don't want my taxes to pay for ICE, to masked thugs to roam our streets and terrorize our communities and rip families apart," Matthews said in a video posted on his birthday Friday. "We should be taking care of each other. We should be minding each other. We should be housing the homeless. We shouldn't be, you know, throwing people to the ground." View this photo on Instagram Instagram / Via instagram.com In his video, Matthews also criticizes the military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of its president Nicolas Maduro, threats to other countries, involvement in the war in Gaza and ICE operations. "Which brings me to Renee Nicole Good, murdered in front of her fellow citizens in Minneapolis, murdered in the streets, and no matter what narrative this administration is trying to sell us, we can see the videos," Matthews said. Instagram / Via instagram.com Multiple videos of Good's killing showed the victim being surrounded by immigration officers while she was partially blocking a road. Alleged cell phone footage taken from the point of view of the shooter, identified as Jonathan Ross, shows Good telling him, "It's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you." She can be seen backing up her vehicle, then turning her wheels and moving forward before Ross fired multiple shots at her. In the video shot from Ross' perspective, a voice can be heard saying "fucking bitch" seconds after the gun goes off. The Trump administration has painted Good's killing as an act of self-defense, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accusing the victim of weaponizing her car to run the officer over and committing "an act of domestic terrorism." Michael M. Santiago / Getty Images Vice President JD Vance has also called the now-deceased mother of three "a deranged leftist," claiming she "was part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to doxx, to assault and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job." Mandel Ngan / Getty Images Matthews disputed the administration's claims, saying that Good was "murdered in cold blood." "It's mind-boggling, and it's deeply upsetting to me and to so many people, and we can't just let it slide," Matthews said. Instagram / Via instagram.com "To Trump, to Kristi Noem, to Stephen Miller, to Pete Hegseth, to [Kash] Patel to [Pam] Bondi to all of them, just deeply, deeply dishonest people. Just cowardly, shameful, dishonest people," he continued. "Fuck them. They are revolting." Instagram / Via instagram.com The singer-songwriter went on to say he's "deeply ashamed of this government, the way they're treating our neighbors, outside and inside this country." "Fuck ICE. Yeah. If that language offends you ... Come on. We all heard it before. I hope you know where my heart is," Matthews said. "I don't like these monsters that are running the show right now. They are ungrateful, greedy monsters. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit." Instagram / Via instagram.com This article originally appeared on HuffPost.
