James T. Keane, editor at the Jesuit magazine America, is another Catholic voice calling on the Catholic vice-president JD Vance to stop disgracing Catholic moral teaching as he lies about the murder of Renee Good.
Keane points to obvious parallels to something that happened during the Reagan administration. Four American women, three of them nuns, were raped, murdered, and buried in shallow graves in El Salvador.
Drivers would be a lot more careful if they got shot every time they failed to stop for pedestrians at a crosswalk. Is that the world #MAGA wants? #ReneeGood

"The rationalization of the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis is that she was using her vehicle to try to kill ICE agents, a claim belied by available video footage and by analysis from Bellingcat and others.
But there's probably a reason that, according to analysis from the New York Times, all nine of the ICE agents who fired their weapons from September through Wednesday were firing at people in vehicles:"

"those were the only weapons — 'weapons' — protesters had. If the use of deadly force requires an imminent threat, the threat requires a rationalization."

"The case is yet another illustration of a point that is crucial to understand about the rise of fascism in this country: misogyny is not an incidental feature or an optional add-on or comorbidity. Misogyny is the beating heart of a fascism that violently safeguards and shores up white male authority—by punishing any social subordinate who questions the designated authority figures."

"With guns…. Where military law enforcement is being used to police American citizens under the pretense that something so dangerous is happening that this has to happen even though they are creating the danger."

"They're in, many of them, in cars or trucks or SUVs that are unmarked. Now, this is, you know, I've been around for many, many years. This has never happened to my knowledge before in America. In America, in the United States, that you have all of these, an entire armed guard system out there under the authority of the president of the United States, in the states, in our cities."

"It’s like they are spending tax dollars to hire a private army to terrorize, assault, kneel on, spray 'chemical irritants' on, arrest, and yes, kill the citizens of this country, including Renee Nicole Good."

"All of the people who've been killed by ICE, I have a whole long list of them, 37 people just in 2025. These are all horrific cases. Most of them are either Black, Brown, or Asian. But in this case, there's something about the fact that the right has built a narrative around white women being the ones being protected, that mass deportation is designed to protect white women."
"What's happening is that Customs and Border Patrol are operating far from the border…. They're pretending that they can act as law enforcement, which they're not law enforcement. Not law enforcement. And they are going up to anyone they think has an accent that doesn't sound like an American accent."
(I've edited the video dialogue lightly to remove distracting filler words.)

ICE, and the use of the National Guard to protect ICE, has been covered as immigration story, but America’s immigration and customs agents aren’t only being used for that purpose.
The Trump administration is also using ICE and the National Guard to project power, to demonstrate that it can operate without restraint, and in defiance of the law.

As Brian Bennett noted over ten years ago, a report by law enforcement experts found that "Border Patrol agents have deliberately stepped in the path of cars apparently to justify shooting at the drivers and have fired in frustration at people throwing rocks from the Mexican side of the border, according to an independent review of 67 cases that resulted in 19 deaths."
