And instead of the usual pledges to investigate that we would expect, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the shooting, called Good's actions an act of domestic terrorism.

For someone who's followed these agencies for years, what did you make of the administration's response to what happened?

So that's the administration's position.

What are you hearing from people at ICE and DHS?

Like, are they leaning into this fight?

Are they with the administration, either at the leadership level or rank and file?

Can you tell?

Before you knew anything about the shooter, like before we even knew his name, would you have guessed it was one of the new recruits?

Because you've written a lot about how ISIS tried to staff up quickly.

Like, were you surprised to learn that this was actually a veteran officer?

So how do you make sense of that?

The Minneapolis chief of police recently, when he was criticizing ICE's actions, referred to that June injury to Officer Ross and whether the agency was making sure he wouldn't behave unsafely in similar situations.

So that's maybe one theory out there about what happened.

Do you have another theory?

I mean, you just described him as kind of prepared.

It's okay.

We don't change our plates every morning.

Just so you know.

So there's the details of this case and then there's the administration's response, which is a reflexive defense of this officer.

And then there's this week in which things seem to be amping up in Minneapolis.
