The ICE shooting in Minnesota that resulted in the death of Renee Good has sparked strong reactions everywhere.

According to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Good was operating a vehicle that agents ordered him to exit. Good, according to Noem, refused and “attempted to run over and ram them with his vehicle.”

After Vice President JD Vance made a strong statement defending ICE agents for their work, the White House released a graphic with a portion of Vance’s plea and the caption “SUPPORT ICE.”

Former MLB All-Star Mark Teixeira, who launched his campaign for Texas’ 21st Congressional District in August as a Republican to “help defend President Trump’s America First agenda,” expressed his support.

“I’m with 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 reelection and run for Texas attorney general. Roy, who represents the district, made the announcement in a campaign video shared on X last year. His video focused on preserving the Lone Star State’s legacy of “liberty, liberty and self-determination.”
