The White House called on the New York Times to update their reporting on Wednesday’s fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis after cellphone footage from the involved officer was released Friday.

“I am hereby calling on the New York Times to update their reporting on the ICE Agent’s self defense in Minnesota,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in an X post. “President Trump was right again.”

Leavitt included a screenshot of the Times’ interview with Trump published Thursday, in which the president viewed available video of the shooting and reacted in real time.

“On Thursday, after our interview with the president, a Times analysis of footage from three camera angles showed a motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire,” the Times’ story reads.
