Were the ICE medics alredy in the place of the shooting of Renée Good
Executive summary
Video and multiple contemporaneous news reports show ICE officers at the scene told bystanders “we have medics on scene,” but independent reporting, public incident records and bystander footage provide no clear evidence that ICE medics were actively treating Renée Good immediately after she was shot; city firefighters and EMS ultimately rendered care minutes later [1] [2] [3] [4].
1. What agents said on site — the “we have medics” line
Multiple bystander videos and contemporaneous reporting capture federal officers telling people that EMS was coming and that “we have medics on scene,” a phrase repeated by ICE agents that circulated widely after the shooting [1] [5] [3].
2. What independent reporting and footage actually show
Investigative accounts and footage analyzed by outlets such as APM Reports and local media show that after a brief assessment by federal agents the injured woman remained in her vehicle, ICE agents did not perform CPR, and city firefighters and paramedics were the first to give sustained medical aid — arriving on foot roughly ten minutes later — with the fire department documented as beginning medical aid at 9:45 a.m. in incident reports [2] [4] [6] [7].
3. Timing and calls for help: three-minute delay and blocked access claims
Reporting reconstructed from 911 transcripts and incident reports indicates federal immigration officials waited nearly three minutes to contact emergency services after the shooting, and witnesses and local reporters said ICE vehicles and positioning impeded ambulance access while bystanders asked where the promised medics were [2] [3] [8].
4. Official claims that complicate the picture
The Department of Homeland Security and administration officials asserted the agent who fired the shots received medical treatment afterward and some federal statements framed the shooting as justified, and DHS footage released showed moments before the shooting; supporters of the administration emphasized that an agent was treated at a hospital for internal injuries, per media briefings [9] [10] [11]. Those official statements do not, however, provide independent documentation that ICE medics rendered immediate, on-scene lifesaving care to Good at the moment of injury (no source in the provided reporting shows ICE medics treating her on-scene).
5. How to reconcile the competing accounts and what the record supports
Taken together, the verifiable record in reporting supplied here shows ICE officers claimed to have medics on scene but independent footage, 911 and incident reports, and multiple news investigations document city first responders — not ICE medical staff — performing CPR, chest compressions, and other emergency interventions before transport; consequently, there is no clear, corroborated evidence in the available sources that ICE medics were already actively treating Renée Good at the moment she was shot [2] [4] [8] [3]. If additional internal DHS logs, EMS radio traffic, or unredacted federal after-action reports exist, they were not included in the reporting provided and could change the record.
