True or False: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem labeled Renee Good's actions "domestic terrorism" before any independent investigation occurred.

Question

Accepted Answer

True. Within hours of the January 7, 2026 shooting, DHS and Secretary Noem labeled Good's actions "an act of domestic terrorism." Stanford Law professor Shirin Sinnar told PolitiFact that videos show Good "attempting to drive away from ICE officers, not hit them," calling the terrorism label "simply an attempt to malign a protester and justify her killing." Minnesota AG Keith Ellison called Noem's statement "an abuse of the term" domestic terrorism. The premature labeling happened before the FBI or state investigators could examine evidence, shaping public perception before facts emerged.
