Smoke was practically coming out of Karoline Leavitt's ears as she responded to criticism over the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good in Minnesota. During a Thursday, January 15, press briefing, the White House Press Secretary tore into a reporter who called her out for "defending ICE agents" and questioned Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem for saying that "they're [ICE] doing everything correctly." "An ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably," he declared, to which she shot back, "Oh, okay, so you're a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion."

"You're a left-wing hack," she went on. "You're not a reporter. You're posing in this room as a journalist. And it's so clear by the premise question."Donald Trump's mouthpiece continued to lay into him, reiterating that he's not a real journalist, and told him,"You shouldn't even be sitting in that seat."

Leavitt's outburst comes after the DHS secretary claimed Good was committing "domestic terrorism" when she was shot in the head, accusing the Minneapolis woman of trying to run down the ICE agents with her car.
Many across the nation have been protesting the deadly shooting that occurred on Wednesday, January 7, arguing that it was murder. Even Casey Anthony, the woman notoriously accused of killing her daughter in 2008, called out the administration for protecting ICE agents. In a recent Substack post addressing Vice President J.D. Vance directly, Anthony wrote, "There is no such thing as a federal law-enforcement officer having immunity because it is convenient for you and this administration. This applies to your Gestapo agents in ICE."
