Joe Rogan has entered the national debate surrounding the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, criticizing both the incident itself and the growing perception of ICE agents in America. Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience with Senator Rand Paul, Rogan described the Minneapolis shooting as “horrific,” saying it has caused the public to increasingly view ICE officers as “murderous military people” and “villains” operating anonymously in communities. He questioned the agency’s masked operations and lack of visible identification, arguing that this fuels fear and mistrust. Rogan, who previously supported Donald Trump, said the video of Good’s death was disturbing to watch, emphasizing that seeing a U.S. citizen shot — especially a woman — raised serious concerns about whether there were alternatives to lethal force.
The shooting of 37-year-old Good, who was killed by ICE officer Jonathan Ross during a January 7 enforcement operation, has sparked nationwide protests and sharply divided political responses. The Trump administration maintains the officer acted in self-defense, claiming Good used her vehicle as a weapon, while critics dispute that interpretation, citing contested video evidence. Good’s family and supporters remember her as compassionate and kind, and her death has intensified debates over immigration enforcement tactics, police accountability, and federal authority. As investigations continue and public outrage grows, Rogan’s comments reflect a broader national question: whether the current approach to ICE operations is protecting communities — or deepening mistrust and tragedy.
