In Minneapolis, a woman accused of interfering with federal deportation efforts was fatally shot by ICE in Minneapolis, while an illegal immigrant couple who DHS said were deeply involved in criminal activity were shot by CBP agents in Portland after the driver of the car tried to ram his vehicle into agents.
Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., referred to the actions of ICE in Minneapolis as "murder" in a post on X. However, just days before, on the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot, Goldman reintroduced legislation to "honor those who defended the capitol" when a mob took it over in 2021.
Rep. Primal Jayapal, D-Wash., who has claimed to have been very close to Babbitt when the Speaker's Lobby was trying to be breached, has chastised Republicans who she believes have failed to adequately honor U.S. Capitol Police for their work on Jan. 6, 2021. "They were begging for protection from Capitol Police. Yet they refused to honor Capitol Police there[after], refused to accept that it was real," Jayapal told Teen Vogue in 2022.
Meanwhile, after the shootings last week, Jayapal too accused federal border patrol officials of committing murder, telling local news the incident "looked like outright murder" to her eyes.

"Without the benefit of any investigation, Trump and his Administration have labeled Ms. Good, a U.S. citizen and 37-year old mother of three, a ‘domestic terrorist’ and immediately excused her killing after she was shot three times at point blank range, not while charging at the police but while trying to get away from them," Raskin said. "In both cases, the Trump Administration is telling the American people to ignore the law and the evidence of their own eyes."
Raskin also demanded in his comments to Fox News Digital that, following the Minnesota ICE shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem "must appear to answer questions" before lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
During the subsequent days following last week's shooting, U.S. Border Patrol chief Mike Banks slammed rhetoric from left-wing politicians for emboldening folks to do things like ram their cars into federal immigration officials.
"The rhetoric they are putting out. The constant lies they are putting out to their constituents – saying things like kidnapping, disappearing, it's encouraging these people to continue violating the law. They are actually putting their constituents in danger."
