Even with fresh confrontations over the weekend, local and national politicians are continuing to weigh in on what happened during ICE's encounter with Goode.
Cell phone footage taken by the agent who shot Goode was released this weekend, which a CNN analysis described as appearing to undermine elements of the government's narrative of what happened.
Noem has maintained the officer, since identified as Jonathan Ross, was acting in self-defense against what she called an act of domestic terrorism.
In a heated exchange with CNN's Jake Tapper, Noem doubled down on those assertions.
Having watched that interview, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry told NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, the video speaks for itself.
As all of this is happening, officials in Minnesota have been blocked from participating in the investigation by federal authorities.
That hasn't stopped Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison and Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty from asking the public to submit videos, photos and eyewitness accounts of what happened as they launched their own investigation.
Allison and Moriarty countered an earlier statement by Vice President J.D.
Vance that the officer had, quote, absolute immunity.
Allison also warned they would not have access to FBI evidence or forensic evidence like DNA or access to Goods Car and that it's too early to know if they would be able to collect enough information to produce a charge.
And finally, a few other stories we're following.
A historic Mississippi synagogue was attacked by a suspected arsonist over the weekend.
It's the only synagogue in Jackson, and it's the second time it's been attacked.
The first was back in 1967 when it was targeted by the Ku Klux Klan for supporting the civil rights movement.
Two Torahs were lost in the fire, but there were no injuries.
A suspect has now been arrested and charged.
Jackson's mayor, John Horne, said in a statement, quote, acts of anti-Semitism, racism and religious hatred are attacks on Jackson as a whole.
President Trump's photo at the National Portrait Gallery has been updated, and the accompanying text now eliminates references to his two impeachments.
A Smithsonian spokesperson said the change was part of a planned update to the text that accompanies its American Presidents Gallery and that they had been exploring less descriptive labels.
Trump had personally complained about his previous portrait, the caption of which read, quote, impeached twice on charges of abuse of power and incitement of insurrection after supporters attacked the U.S.
