Kristi Noem encourages people to buy ICE officers lunch on ‘Law Enforcement Appreciation Day’ after Minnesota shooting

US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has encouraged people to buy ICE officers lunch on “Law Enforcement Day” following the Minnesota shooting.

Noem appeared at a press conference on Thursday, 8 January, to speak on the current ICE operation in New York City and comment on the shooting of a woman killed by an ICE agent that occurred the day before.

The woman, later identified as Renee Nicole Good, was described by Noem as a "domestic terrorist,” Noem claimed she "weaponized her vehicle" against an ICE agent.

She then proceeded to remind the public of “Law Enforcement Day,” typically celebrated on 9 January, and encouraged civilians to thank and "do something nice" for all law enforcement.
