Minnesota Democratic Sen. Tina Smith said Sunday that the Trump administration was “attempting to cover up\u00a0what happened”\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0fatal shooting<\/u><\/a>\u00a0of Renee Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

ABC News obtained cell phone video of the incident that was taken by the ICE agent who fired the shots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I think what we are seeing here is the federal government — [Department of Homeland Security Secretary] Kristi Noem, Vice President [JD] Vance, [President] Donald Trump — attempting to cover up what happened here in the Twin Cities, and I don’t think that people here and around the country are believing it,” Smith told ABC News’ “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump administration officials have asserted that Good was attempting to run over the ICE officer with her car, prompting the officer to shoot her\u00a0in what they say was self-defense. Noem said Good’s actions were an act of “domestic terrorism.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Local officials and many Democratic lawmakers have disputed DHS’s assessment of the incident.<\/p>\n

“You are saying the administration is trying to cover up this shooting. That’s a pretty serious charge. What do you mean exactly,” Raddatz asked.<\/p>\n

“What I mean by that is that you can see everything that they are doing is trying to shape the narrative, to say what happened, without any investigation,” Smith said.<\/p>\n

Smith\u00a0went on to\u00a0criticize\u00a0the administration for its response to the shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What I think is essential to keep in mind here is that if we’re going to trust the federal government, how can we trust the federal government to do an objective, unbiassed investigation, without prejudice, when at the beginning of that investigation they have already announced exactly what they saw — what they think happened.”<\/p>\n

The FBI is investigating the shooting, but Minnesota officials said that the federal government has cut them out, blocking state agencies from accessing case material.<\/p>\n

The fatal shooting of Good\u00a0sparked country-wide protests against ICE presence in American cities. In Minneapolis, local officials maintain that the protests have been mostly peaceful.<\/p>\n
