The ICE shooting in Minnesota, which resulted in the death of Renee Good, has sparked strong reactions everywhere.
According to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Good was driving a vehicle that officers ordered her to leave. Good refused, according to Noem, and “attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle.”
After Vice President J.D. Vance issued a strong statement defending ICE agents for their work, the White House posted an image with part of Vance’s plea and the caption: “STAND WITH ICE.”

Former MLB All-Star Mark Teixeira, who launched his campaign for Texas’ 21st Congressional District as a Republican in August to “help defend President Trump’s America First agenda,” expressed his support.
“I support ICE,” the former Texas Ranger, Atlanta Brave, Los Angeles Angel and New York Yankee wrote on X.
Teixeira’s announcement followed Rep. Chip Roy’s decision not to seek re-election and run for Texas Attorney General. Roy, who represents the district, made the announcement last year in a campaign video shared on X. His video was about preserving the Lone Star State’s legacy of “freedom, liberty and self-determination.”

Noem called the incident “domestic terrorism.”
“An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot to protect himself and those around him,” she said.
Federal authorities said Good tried to run over ICE agents who were part of a 2,000-member team sent to the Twin Cities to round up and deport undocumented immigrant criminals.
Teixeira, 45, played fourteen seasons in the Majors. He made his debut with the Rangers in 2003, but is perhaps best known as an MVP candidate and World Series champion with the Yankees, the final stop of his career.

One of the best hitters in the game, Teixeira was a three-time Silver Slugger Award winner and finished his career with a .269 batting average and 409 home runs. He was a five-time Gold Glove winner and was a member of the Yankees’ 2009 World Series championship team.
The congressional race is set for November 2026, with a primary scheduled for March.
