Casey Anthony calls Minneapolis ICE shooting a crime, rips JD Vance for protecting ‘Gestapo’ agents

The recent ICE-related shooting incident in Minneapolis has captivated national attention, prompting a contentious figure to voice her opinion.

Casey Anthony, often dubbed “America’s most hated mom,” recently penned a Substack post directed at Vice President JD Vance. In her critique, she condemned the federal government for allegedly protecting ICE agents from being held accountable for the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.

“Federal law enforcement officers should not enjoy immunity simply because it suits you and this Administration,” Anthony asserted. She likened ICE agents to “Gestapo agents” in her pointed criticism.

Anthony argued that the shooting should be scrutinized like any other officer-involved incident, urging the release of all investigative documents and available body-camera footage.

She further accused federal authorities of inappropriately retaining control over the investigation, suggesting that Minnesota officials should be handling the case instead.

She also criticized the Department of Justice and accused the administration of misleading the public about the handling of the investigation.

“We are watching. We are holding our government officials accountable,” Anthony wrote, arguing that federal law-enforcement agents should be held to the same standards as civilians. She referenced what she described as multiple recent shootings involving federal officers and questioned whether justice was being served for victims and their families.

The shooting occurred during a federal ICE enforcement operation in south Minneapolis, where an ICE agent fatally shot Good. Federal officials have maintained that the agent acted in self-defense after Good threatened officers during the operation with her vehicle, a characterization ICE says justified the use of deadly force.

State and local leaders, however, have raised questions about the incident and called for greater transparency, including the release of evidence and investigative materials.

Anthony, now 38, was acquitted in 2011 in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. A jury found her guilty of lying to law enforcement but not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter or aggravated child abuse. Caylee’s death remains unsolved.

Despite her acquittal, Anthony has remained a polarizing figure in American culture and has been the subject of multiple documentaries and television series in the years since the trial.
