Joe Rogan Breaks Silence on Controversial ICE Killing in Minneapolis
Popular podcaster and UFC commentator Joe Rogan has finally shared his thoughts on a disturbing incident. He reacted to the brutal fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. This event has sparked widespread protests across the United States.
Rogan's Mixed Views on ICE and the Shooting
During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan spoke with Republican Senator Rand Paul. He addressed the controversial killing directly. Rogan stated he sees both perspectives regarding ICE as a law enforcement agency.
He acknowledged that ICE raids might help reduce some problems linked to illegal immigration. However, Rogan also expressed clear empathy for anti-ICE protesters. He understands their fear of militarized agents patrolling streets and detaining people, including some U.S. citizens without proper papers.
Rogan posed a stark question about the tactics. "Are we really gonna be the Gestapo?" he asked. "'Where's your papers?' Is that what we've come to?" He described watching the shooting footage as horrific. "It's very ugly to watch someone shoot a U.S. citizen, especially a woman, in the face," Rogan said.
He challenged justifications for the shooting based on the car hitting the agent. Rogan observed that Good appeared to be turning the car away, not aggressively targeting him.
Details of the Minneapolis Incident and Official Response
Renee Good was a poet and mother of three children. ICE agent Jonathan Ross fired three shots into her vehicle on a residential street in Minneapolis, killing her. The Trump administration defended the agent's actions. They claimed Ross acted in self-defense.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem supported Ross strongly. She labeled Good a domestic terrorist who weaponized her vehicle to harm ICE officers intentionally. Eyewitness accounts tell a different story. They say Good was trying to drive away from the confrontation.
A video recorded by Ross during the incident captured Good's final words. She said, "That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you. I'm not mad at you." Reports indicate the ICE agent cursed at Good after shooting her in the head, calling her a profane name.
The conflicting narratives have fueled public outrage. Protesters continue to demand accountability and transparency in immigration enforcement practices.
