Vega later said Vice President J.D. Vance placed the blame for the shooting “directly” on Goode the day after the attack. She also said DHS officials accused Goode and her partner of “stalking” immigration officials; Vega did not mention the video DHS shared last week showing Goode blocking traffic with her car for three minutes before agents approached her.
