Republican Congressman: 'I Do not Feel Bad' for U.S. Mother of Three Killed by ICE [View all]

By Brian Daitzman

One day after Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three, was shot in the head and killed during an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis, GOP Representative Randy Fine of Florida appeared on Newsmax and said he did not feel bad.

“I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved,” Mr. Fine said, adding that “if you impede the actions of our law enforcement … you get what’s coming to you.”

A Republican member of Congress, Mr. Fine described the shooting as “completely justified,” despite the fact that no court or jury has ruled on whether the agent’s use of lethal force was lawful. He warned that “more Americans will die if they impede law enforcement,” remarks that intensified national outrage and focused attention on how elected officials have publicly characterized the killing.

During the interview, Mr. Fine framed Ms. Good’s death as a deterrent rather than as a loss of life, language that drew criticism as the investigation into the shooting remained ongoing.
