New Minneapolis ICE Shooting Video, Philly Sheriff Warns ICE, Black Women Jobless Spike

A new video from an ICE officer's perspective in the shooting death of Renee Good in Minneapolis is presented as damning evidence. The Hennepin County DA has charged Officer Jonathan Ross. Retired FBI agent Steve Lazarus stated that deadly force is never authorized merely to stop a fleeing suspect, and nothing in the video suggested the vehicle was used as a weapon, reflecting a failure of training and selection.

The host plays the video and quotes Steve Lazarus, 'Deadly force is never authorized merely to stop a fleeing suspect. Yes, if a vehicle is being used as a weapon, that changes the analysis, but nothing in this video supports that.'

Philadelphia County Sheriff Rochelle Bilal issued a direct warning to ICE agents, stating that any 'thuggish behavior' or criminal acts committed by federal agents in her county would lead to their arrest and jail time. She criticized their masked operations and lack of proper identification, asserting that 'law enforcement professionals do not wear masks' unless undercover and do not shoot at fleeing vehicles.

Sheriff Bilal states, 'ICE do not bring your thuggish behavior to my county or we're going to put you in jail.' She adds, 'No law enforcement professional wears a mask. None.' and 'Law enforcement professionals do not shoot at moving vehicles.'

Morgan Harper, Director of Policy and Advocacy for the American Economic Liberties Project, outlined the severe shortcomings of the Trump administration's economy in 2025. Job creation was significantly lower (500,000 for the year compared to 2 million under Biden in 2024), with unemployment rising overall and disproportionately affecting Black Americans. Manufacturing jobs saw losses despite promises, and tariffs contributed to increased costs and economic uncertainty.

Morgan Harper states, 'there were only about 500,000 jobs created for the whole year. To compare under President Biden's last year in 2024 is about two million.' She also notes, 'particularly black unemployment is much much higher from this point last year.'

Bishop William Barber emphasized the critical need for sustained grassroots mobilization, particularly targeting poor and low-wage infrequent voters. He highlighted that millions of these voters, across racial lines, did not participate in recent elections due to a lack of engagement from political parties and organizations. His campaign in North Carolina aims to connect the 'pain' of economic hardship and policy changes (like loss of healthcare/food stamps) to the 'power' of voting, using local, data-driven strategies.

Bishop Barber states, 'Over 1.7 million poor and low-wage people who had voted were registered but voted infrequently, didn't vote.' He adds, 'there is a level of pain now that has people wide awake. Our job now is to connect that pain to their power.'

Congresswoman Summer Lee sharply criticized Republicans for a 'hypocritical witch hunt' regarding fraud in federal programs, specifically in Minnesota. She argued that while Republicans claim to be fighting fraud, the Trump administration actively hurt oversight mechanisms by firing inspectors general and attacking whistleblowers. Lee accused them of cherry-picking 'blue states' and immigrant populations to demonize, using fraud as an excuse to cut social service programs like Medicaid and SNAP.

Congresswoman Lee states, 'too often, your bigotry, the Republican party's own bigotry is imprisoning them and keeping them from ever actually doing something that helps, not harms the American people.' She also notes, 'Trump has attacked the oversight mechanisms within the federal government. He illegally fires 17 inspectors general.'
