Trump team calls out ‘depravity’ of Jimmy Kimmel’s response to lethal ICE shooting
Jimmy Kimmel used the lethal shooting of a woman by a federal agent in Minneapolis to blame President Donald Trump, and the White House fired back a response.
Kimmel aired the expletive-filled statement from Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey calling on Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to leave the city and cease operations.
‘Why is ABC allowing such sick depravity on their network?’
“I know what they’re doing. They’re trying out a new slogan!” Kimmel said as he held up a red T-shirt.
“Donald J. Trump is gonna kill you,” the shirt reads.
“This maniac, he isn’t just killing people overseas. An ICE agent today shot and killed an unarmed 37-year-old woman during an ICE operation in Minneapolis,” he continued. “They’re there under the guise of protecting us.”
He criticized Trump for his statement describing the incident and then showed his audience video of Frey’s response.
“They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bulls**t! This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed,” Frey said at a press conference.
“And I have a message for ICE. To ICE, get the f**k out of Minneapolis!” he also said.
Kimmel added, “Now that is the shirt I want to see!” and held up a shirt that reads, “GET THE F**K OUT OF MPLS.”
Video of Kimmel’s comments was widely shared on social media and criticized by the Rapid Response account of the Trump team.
“Jimmy Kimmel pushes the narrative that President Trump is ordering ICE to kill Americans,” the account said. “Why is ABC allowing such sick depravity on their network?”
Kimmel’s show had been previously canceled after controversial comments he made about the suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The show was eventually reinstated after a few days.
The woman killed in the ICE shooting was identified as Colorado native Renee Nicole Macklin Good. Anti-ICE critics dispute the account from the Department of Homeland Security that she was trying to run over officers when she swerved and accelerated her vehicle.

‘You should be ashamed’: Vance fires back at media for forgetting key details about Minnesota ICE shooting
At a Thursday press briefing at the White House, Vice President JD Vance had some choice words for the corporate media, which have been caught leaving out key details about the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis — especially the context for the agent involved.
Vance was referring to the deportation operation that turned deadly on Wednesday after an ICE officer was forced to defend himself from an aggravated driver. The driver, identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good, was fatally shot by the ICE agent.
‘Everybody who has been repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis when a law enforcement officer shot at her — you should be ashamed of yourselves.’
The incident may have sparked a sense of déjà vu for the agent since this wasn’t his first brush with vehicular violence while on the job. Video evidence emerged of a similar attack involving the same agent from June.
Addressing a slanted headline from CNN — which he read as: “Outrage after ICE officer kills U.S. citizen in Minneapolis” — Vance said at the press briefing, “Everybody who has been repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis when a law enforcement officer shot at her — you should be ashamed of yourselves. Every single one of you.”
“What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very ICE officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg. So you think maybe he’s a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile?” Vance asked.
“What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America,” Vance added angrily. “What that headline leaves out is that that woman is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to doxx, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job.”
“If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques, to try to make it impossible for the president of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws,” he added.
“The way that the media, by and large, has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace, and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day.”
Blaze News could not find a CNN article that matched the headline read by Vance, though the outlet has published many articles about the incident, including “What we know about ICE’s fatal shooting of a US citizen in Minneapolis” and “Mother of 3 who loved to sing and write poetry shot and killed by ICE in Minneapolis.”
Blaze News has reached out to CNN for comment.
