Washington [US], January 9: The US Democratic leaders criticised the shooting and the Trump administration's response to it.
"The killing of Renee Nicole Good was an abomination - a disgrace," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries at a Thursday press conference.
"And blood is clearly on the hands of those individuals within the administration who've been pushing an extreme policy that has nothing to do with immigration enforcement connected to removing violent felons from this country." Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that he saw the video of the fatal shooting: "You felt like your stomach was being punched. Looking at the video, there seemed no justification for what these agents did. There needs to be a full investigation at the federal level, though I have little faith in the FBI in doing a fair investigation."
Federal and local officials dispute the circumstances that led an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer to fatally shoot a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
