Joe Rogan Finally Speaks Out on Renee Good Shooting and ICE Raids

UFC commentator Joe Rogan has spoken out after Renee Nicole Good was shot dead by an ICE office in Minneapolis.

Protests have been taking place across the United States of America after after Jonathan Ross, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) removal officer, shot and killed 37-year-old citizen Good.

Following the shooting, US President Donald Trump blamed the 'radical left' for the killing of the mother of three and claimed that the ICE agent had shot Good in self-defence, with many claiming that Trump had deliberately misinformed the public.

Since then, footage showing exactly what happened during the incident has emerged online, sparking further conversations around how the agent had behaved.

And now, popular podcast host and UFC commentator Rogan has adressed the shooting having watched the controversial footage himself.

Throughout his rise to becoming the biggest name in podcasting, Rogan hasn't shied away from discussing politics and even hosted and endorsed Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

However, it appears that in this instance, Rogan is not prepared to agree with Trump as he has labelled the incident 'horrific' while voicing his true feeling towards ICE in the latest episode of the Joe Rogan Experience.

“Now ICE are villains, and now people are looking at them like murderous military people that are on the streets of our cities and they're masked up, which is a problem,” Rogan said during an interview with Republican Senator Rand Paul.

“Most people believe that police are necessary…but those same people that believe that, might also believe that once someone is here, they should be able to stay in this country and ICE is operating illegally and we shouldn’t have militarised groups of people roaming the streets, just showing up with masks on and snatching people up,” Rogan continued.

The UFC legend then spoke about Good, adding: “It's very ugly to watch someone shoot a U.S. citizen, especially a woman, in the face…It just looked horrific to me. When people say it's justifiable because the car hit him, it seemed like she was turning the car away.”

What have others said about the shooting of Renee Good?

Ahead of their NBA clash with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Minnesota Timberwolves decided to hold a moment of silence to reflect on the death of Good earlier in the week.

Following the moment, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr described the incident as 'shameful' crticising the government for trying to cover up the truth and praising the Timberwolves touching gesture.

But not everyone is in agreement that the ICE agent didn't have a right to shoot Good, as ESPN host Stephen A. Smith deserved it as 'completely justified' during an appearance on his podcast.

"I saw the video on numerous occasions and seeing what transpired from a lawful perspective as it pertains to a law enforcement official, don’t expect him to be prosecuted. He was completely justified," Smith said.

"From a humanitarian perspective, however, why did you have to do that? If you could move out the way, that means you could have shot the tires. You didn’t have to do that.
