In a White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt erupted at a reporter over questions about ICE and a recent fatal shooting in Minneapolis, thrusting immigration enforcement back into the national spotlight. The confrontation occurred on Jan 15, 2026, when Niall Stanage of The Hill pressed Leavitt on the administration’s defense of ICE agents following the Jan 7 killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old American woman shot by an ICE agent during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis. Stanage cited troubling statistics about deaths in ICE custody and wrongful detentions, asking how these figures squared with claims that federal agents are “doing everything correctly”. WATCH
