Whoopi Goldberg ICE Agent Defense Amid National Backlash
On January 13, 2026, Whoopi Goldberg added a complex layer to the ongoing debate over the death of 37-year-oldRenee Nicole Good. While acknowledging the right to protest ICE raids, Goldberg argued that "not all ICE agents are out of control." She suggested that many long-term professionals don't even recognize the agency they work for anymore, highlighting an internal morale crisis within federal law enforcement.
Some of them actually do know what they're doing, and they're having a hard time because they don't recognize the agency they've worked for for years.
Legal Disputes and Domestic Terrorism Claims
The atmosphere on the set remained tense as co-host and former prosecutor Sunny Hostin doubled down on her stance that the killing was "unlawful." Citing the 1985 Supreme Court ruling Tennessee v. Garner, Hostin argued the officer had no legal grounds to fire at a retreating vehicle. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security labeled Good's actions as "domestic terrorism," claiming she "weaponized her vehicle" in an attempt to kill officers.
