Don Lemon 0:16
Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Lemon Live at 5. We come on the air or we stream to you tonight with some very terrible news about a situation that happened in Minneapolis. Man. I don't know any other way just to be outraged. I'm mad. I'm pissed off. And I'm mad because I know the administration, they have no other choice but to lie about this because this makes them look bad. It exposes who they are, the horrible people that they are. This looks like murder. That's what it looks like. Now, I have not seen the full video from, I've seen the full video, but not from every angle. But every single person, law enforcement, any sort of fair-minded person will tell you, it looks like this woman was trying to move out of the way.

We're going to show you some things I have to warn you, some very horrific things. We're also getting new information about the identity of the woman. But we begin in Minneapolis, and this is where a woman is dead after being shot by a federal immigration officer that was during an ICE operation. Now, according to the authorities, the shooting occurred early Wednesday morning during what the Department of Homeland Security describes as a large-scale immigration enforcement action. The woman... was 37 years old, is a U.S. citizen, and according to the news reports, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed today that the woman was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE agent during a confrontation between federal agents and protesters in South Minneapolis.

The woman's mother identified her as Renee Nicole Good. Renee Nicole Good, 37 years old, a U.S. citizen, a U.S. citizen. The Department of Homeland Security spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin, said ICE officers were conducting targeted operations when community members began trying to block ICE vehicles. She said the ICE agent fired defensive shots as the woman attempted to run over agents. I'm going to let you decide. I'm going to let you watch it and you can make up your mind about what it is and what it looks like. The federal agents are saying that this woman, the ICE agent, fired in self-defense after the vehicle was driven towards officers. That's bullshit. As I will show you, this did not happen in a vacuum over the past year.

My mama told me not to curse so much anymore on this show. this effed up administration has dramatically expanded immigration enforcement flooding cities with these federal agents loosening rules of engagement framing routine immigration actions in the language of warfare even the department of homeland security is now i mean excuse me the department of defense is now the department of war they set this tone The Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, has repeatedly vowed to carry out what she calls the most aggressive deportation campaign in American history. President Trump has cheered this on, portraying immigrants as invaders and local officials as enemies if they resist. When you deploy heavily armed agents into civilian neighborhoods, a tragedy like this

is not just possible, it's not just probable, it is inevitable, and it is entirely predictable. This is predictable. Responsibility begins with the agent who pulled the trigger and will be examined by investigators. But it does not end there. This extends upwards to policymakers who created the conditions for this operation, who turned American streets into, excuse me, mom, fucking war zones. This is the type of shit that you see in Iran. It's the type of shit you see in Russia, but never in America. You're not supposed to see that in America. A woman is dead because of these policies. Because we have someone who condones this behavior. We have someone in office now, Donald Trump, who is a racist wannabe king.

That's why we're in this moment. We have several guests that are going to join us, law enforcement, legal analysts who are going to join us in just moments. I want to play you now. This is graphic. This is the shooting. All of it is in real time. You're going to see the aftermath, and you'll also see, quite frankly, some of the blood coming from the car.
