An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who was forced to use deadly force against 37-year-old Renee Good last week suffered internal bleeding after being struck by her vehicle, Department of Homeland Security officials confirmed Tuesday.
The revelation sheds new light on the dangerous encounter that has been largely misrepresented by mainstream media outlets quick to portray law enforcement as the aggressor. Two U.S. officials briefed on the agent's condition told CBS News that the bleeding occurred in the officer's torso, though the full extent of his injuries remains unclear.
The Real Story Behind the Headlines
While anti-police activists and their media allies have rushed to condemn the ICE agent's actions, the facts tell a different story. This brave law enforcement officer wasn't just doing his job – he was literally fighting for his life after being struck by Good's vehicle during what should have been a routine immigration enforcement operation.
The incident highlights the daily dangers faced by ICE agents under the Trump administration's renewed commitment to enforcing our immigration laws. These men and women risk their lives to protect American communities, yet they're constantly vilified by the same people who want to defund law enforcement and abolish ICE entirely.
"Our ICE agents put their lives on the line every single day to keep American families safe," said one DHS official familiar with the case. "This officer was seriously injured while doing his sworn duty to enforce the laws of this great nation."
Under President Trump's leadership, ICE has been unleashed to finally do what previous administrations refused to do – actually enforce immigration law. But with that enforcement comes increased resistance from those who would rather see America's borders remain wide open.
The agent's internal injuries serve as a stark reminder that immigration enforcement isn't just paperwork and bureaucracy. It's dangerous, life-threatening work that requires split-second decisions when suspects choose violence over compliance with lawful orders.
How many more of our brave law enforcement officers will be injured or killed before Democrats stop demonizing ICE and start supporting the rule of law?
