Leavitt accuses reporter of bias after questioning her about ICE deaths, Renee Good fatal shooting

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sharply criticized a reporter for accusing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent involved in Renee Nicole Good’s fatal shooting of acting "recklessly" and "unjustifiably." The reporter also claimed that 32 people died in ICE custody last year, as well as criticized Department of Homeland Security Secretary (DHS) Kristi Noem for saying the agency is "doing everything correctly." He made the comments during a news conference on Thursday after Leavitt asked him why he believes Good was killed. "Reporter: "Are you asking me my opinion?" "Leavitt: "Yeah." "Reporter:"Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably." That's when Leavitt blasted him, calling him a biased reported with a left-wing opinion. Leavitt went on to tell him he should be reporting on the facts and be more focused on how many American citizens were killed by illegal migrants. "I bet you don't," she said. "I bet you didn't even read up on those stories. I bet you never even read about Laken Riley or Jocelyn Nungaray or all of the innocent Americans who were killed at the hand of illegal aliens in this country and the brave men and woman of ICE are doing everything in their power to remove those heinous individuals and make our communities safer. And shame on people like you in the media who have a crooked view and have a biases view and pretend like you're a real, honest journalist." _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KOMONews/ KOMO News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/komonews KOMO News on Instagram: http://instagram.com/komo4 KOMO News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@komo4seattle Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC__2_0RJ8XnHt2angfw6S1Q/?sub_confirmation=1 Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G97AyNO_3IE&list=PLZm7uq7_dyY6qhFFIwgXRvYpkaOnZEabc&index=2&t=0s For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-news-mobile/id433508161?mt=8 Download our Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newssynergy.komo&hl=en Have a news tip?
