ICE agents shot and killed the two U.S. citizens in different instances over the course of January. In the immediate aftermath of the dual homicides, Noem and other officials within the Trump administration attempted to spin the narrative of their deaths to quell public backlash. To do so, they smeared Pretti, an ICU nurse that worked with veterans, and Good, an award-winning poet and mother, as “domestic terrorists” intent on killing federal officers.
“Madame Secretary, based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?” asked Raskin.
“Were they domestic terrorists as you said to the country?” Raskin said.
“Is that an apology for what you said?” pressed Raskin.
“Madame Secretary, based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?” Raskin repeated.
“You proclaimed they were domestic terrorists at the time. Why did you do that?” asked Raskin.
“So you’re proud of the fact that you called them domestic terrorists?” Raskin pushed. “Is that what you’re telling America?”
“Yes they do,” Raskin agreed, reminding Noem that she “told a lie” about Pretti and Good. “Do you regret that?”
“Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?” Raskin asked.
“So you still don’t know? You think that’s an open question?” Raskin pressed.
“Well you stated the conclusion two hours after they were killed that they were domestic terrorists. I wanted to give you an opportunity to correct the record, not just for their family, but for everyone in America who believes in the truth and fairness and honesty,” Raskin continued. “You know, your acting ICE Director Todd Lyons came before Congress. He said he had no knowledge whatsoever that Alex Pretti and Renee Good were domestic terrorists. None! This is your guy, he said. He admitted that was wrong. Why won’t you do that?”

But Noem would not explain herself. She then had no apparent defense for her agency when Raskin asked her to clarify her position on existing laws that are supposed to prevent federal immigration officers from killing and abusing American citizens.
