A CBS News report stating an ICE officer suffered internal bleeding after fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis sparked internal debate at the network. The report, based on anonymous "US officials," was published on X and in an article on Wednesday. Some CBS News employees questioned the sourcing and accuracy of the report, with concerns raised about the vagueness of "internal bleeding" and whether the report served the Trump administration's agenda. An internal email exchange showed a medical producer suggesting further investigation into the officer's treatment. Some staffers felt the network was being used to justify the shooting to maintain access to sources. The report received limited coverage from other news organizations.
