Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem left CNN host Jake Tapper speechless as she slammed him for apparent bias over Wednesday's shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an immigration enforcement officer.

During a Sunday appearance on State of the Union, Noem was asked by Tapper if she was 'doing a disservice' to the ICE agent who shot Renee Good through the windshield of her car by drawing conclusions about the incident.

Noem defiantly responded that she hadn't heard Tapper 'say once what a disservice it's done for Mayor Frey to get up and tell ICE to get the F out!'

Her response was met with praise from internet users, with one fan saying the top Trump official 'just absolutely crushed Jake Tapper.'

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE agents to leave his city after Wednesday's shooting, and Frey was also asked about Noem's criticism of him during his own subsequent appearance on CNN Sunday.

Frey didn't buy the idea that his own rhetoric needed to change, telling Tapper that he 'said this was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying because that was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying.'

Prior to his CNN appearance, Frey appeared to double down on his earlier stances on his X account. writing that 'today is a good day for ICE to get out of Minnesota.' 

The Trump administration has come to Ross's defense over his shooting of Good, saying it occurred after Good intended to run the agent down with her car, while Democratic officials in Minneapolis say it was a murder.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker also noted during his own appearance on CNN that Noem should 'resign or be impeached' and that DHS Spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin should not have the job that she has' because 'she's a pathological liar.'

Filmmaker JZ Murdock wrote that he believed Noem was 'undeniably lying through her teeth.'
