Noem said a car later pulled up and attempted to block the agents’ movement. Officers approached the driver — later identified as Good — and ordered her to move the vehicle.

Instead, Noem said, Good chose to escalate the situation.

She accused Good of attempting to “weaponize her vehicle” in what she described as an effort “to kill or to cause bodily harm to agents.”

Noem labeled the alleged attack “an act of domestic terrorism,” adding that it was one of three such incidents reported in Minneapolis on Wednesday. She did not provide details on the any other vehicle attacks, saying it remained unclear when or where they occurred.

“Any loss of life is a tragedy,” Noem said, before outlining the sequence of events that led to the fatal shooting.

Noem and President Donald Trump both said the ICE agent who fired the fatal shot was injured during the encounter. The agent was taken to a hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries and later released, according to Noem.

“The fact of the matter is, he’s an experienced officer. He’s been in situations like this before. And he certainly has been out there and followed his training today,” she said.

The secretary also revealed that the same officer had previously been injured in a similar incident.

She said he was once “dragged by an anti-ICE rioter” during a vehicle ramming attack in June.

Noem claimed that more than “100 of these vehicle rammings” targeting federal officers have been reported nationwide in recent weeks.

“It’s clear that it’s being coordinated,” she said. “People are being trained and told how to use their vehicles to impede law enforcement operations, and then to run over anybody who gets in their way, while they go out there and try to disrupt peace and public safety. Americans deserve better.”

Noem said she has asked the Justice Department to pursue charges in such cases as acts of domestic terrorism.
