Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar makes VERY big U-turn on video of anti-ICE protester being shot dead

Ilhan Omar has backtracked on her previous comments about the ICE shooting in her home state by admitting the federal agent was in front of a ‘moving car’ when he fired the fatal rounds. 

The Minnesota Congresswoman previously said that ‘no one was run over’, suggesting that slain mother-of-three Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle did not pose a threat to officer Jonathan ‘Jon’ Ross last Wednesday. 

However, speaking with CNN’s Face The Nation on Sunday, Omar admitted that Good’s SUV was in motion at the time of the shooting in Minneapolis last week. 

Describing videos of the incident, she said: ‘Renee Nicole Good, as you hear her say, she’s not mad, she’s sitting in her car, peacefully waving cars to get by.

‘This agent, as you see, gets out of his car, automatically starts running towards her, trying to open her door, she feels scared, she tries to turn the wheel away. 

‘And then you see the other officer who can clearly see the car is moving, move towards the front of the car. 

‘If they are saying that he has ten years of service and is trained, he should know that you shouldn’t be trying to get in front of a moving car.’ 

Speaking with CNN’s Jake Tapper four days before, the Democrat politician said that ‘no one is run over’ in the clips, as she pushed back against Trump’s claim that the ICE agent shot Good in ‘self-defense’.  

‘That’s an incredibly delusional statement. We’ve all seen the video… you can see no ICE agent falls to the ground, no one is run over,’ Omar said. 

‘So to rewrite something that is still so visibly available everywhere just shows how disturbingly delusional our president has become.

‘But the people have their own eyes, they can make their own judgment, and certainly when this investigation is over we are going to know really what has taken place, and I hope that leads to accountability’.

The Daily Mail has contacted Omar’s office for comment on the two statements. She shifted her version of events after Ross’s own footage, shot on his phone, was released on Friday and showed his camera jerking as Good drove off in her final moments. 

Good’s final moments have been immortalized through bloodcurdling videos shot from several angles, as the country reels over who is to blame for her death.

One clip shows the interaction the 37-year-old had with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Ross before he fatally shot her in the head.

The Minneapolis resident and poet can be heard saying from inside her car: ‘That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad.’

Her wife, Rebecca Good, 40, could be heard urging Ross, who wore a face covering, to ‘show his face’ as she asked him: ‘You want to come at us?’ 

As the tension mounted, Good was told to get out of the car, but ignored orders. She began revving the engine and drove off during what the Trump Administration said was part of a protest against the planned detention of Somali migrants in the area.

Ross’s camera then jerked towards his body. It is unclear what caused his camera to move suddenly or what made the noise on the recording.

The ICE agent fired three shots, including one through the front windshield of the Honda, that struck and killed Good.

Federal officials have claimed the shooting was an act of self-defense, while the city’s mayor had condemned it as ‘reckless’ and unnecessary.

The Minnesota city was rocked by the murder of George Floyd by a police officer just over five years ago, and residents are now reeling from another controversial act of violence by a law enforcement official. 

Meanwhile, Trump has condemned Good, insisting that she plowed over Ross and he is lucky to be alive. 

‘She behaved horribly,’ Trump told the New York Times. ‘And then she ran him over. She didn’t try to run him over. She ran him over.’
