Kristi Noem was repeatedly asked whether the ICE agent who shot Renee Good had been suspended and investigated.
host Margaret Brennan about whether the agent Jonathan Ross’ conduct was being reviewed after the shooting in Minneapolis on Jan. 7. “We are following the exact same investigative and review process that we always have under ICE and under the Department of Homeland Security and within the administration.
