“It’s time for the American people to organize and to utilize their Second Amendment right to protect themselves from what has clearly become an unaccountable and lawless agency that’s killing Americans.”
Michael Fanone, a former Washington, DC police officer who was at the Capitol on January 6, has suggested that ICE agents should be shot in the aftermath of the shooting of Renee Good, who was killed by an ICE agent when she rammed into the officer with her car. Fanone, during his time as a commentator, has frequently talked about the violence that took place on January 6.
Fanone appeared on a podcast where he was speaking about the shooting that took place in Minnesota on Wednesday, and said that this was the "millionth" time he has seen ICE or Customs and Border Patrol agents "abuse their power."

"It's not even the first time that someone has been seriously injured or lost their lives. And so these politicians and these local, state and municipal law enforcement agencies need to wake the f*ck up. You know, I appreciate the foul language coming out of the mouth of the mayor of Minneapolis, and I think that his sentiment in the moment was appropriate. That being said, what are you doing? What are you directing your law enforcement agencies to do to protect your citizens? How are you going about doing that?"
"I don't need to hear from the chief of police that we all need to remain calm and protest peacefully. F*ck you and f*ck that. What are you doing to keep me safe? What are you doing to keep my mother safe, my sister safe, you know, my community safe from these thugs? That's what I need to hear coming out of these agents or these officers, because if you're not going to do it, then it's time for the American people to organize and to utilize their Second Amendment right to protect themselves from what has clearly become an unaccountable and lawless agency that's killing Americans," he added.
Fanone has previously made other inflammatory comments, such as calling President Donald Trump a terrorist and comparing him to Osama bin Laden. Fanone, after resigning from his position at the Washington, DC Police Department, became a CNN commentator in the aftermath of J6.
Since Good's death on Wednesday, the left has been attacking the ICE officer, with some claiming that he murdered the woman in cold blood. Video that has now been released from the ICE agent's perspective showed Good as well as her wife, Becca, taunting the ICE agent and Good's wife also told her to "drive baby drive" when the agent was directly in front of the car.
