Fox News host Laura Ingraham said she was "escorted out" of a Minnesota ICE protest after confronting — and filming — a demonstrator on the street.

The conservative *Ingraham Angle* personality admitted that she was removed from the site of a protest over the deadly ICE shooting earlier this week of 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good, with Ingraham's cameras following the TV journalist on the ground as she probed protesters over their actions.

"If actually you go into the mix and try to chat with people, you end up getting escorted out. Kind of nicely, but aggressively, escort you out, across their border," Ingraham told her audience Thursday night, before the pre-recorded clip played on the air.

The footage picked up as a protester — dressed in red and wearing what appeared to be a scarf over their nose — looked toward Ingraham and repeated the phrase, "Disgrace to the human race."**

Ingraham countered by twice asking, "Why are you wearing a mask?" The protester held their arms out and replied, "Because my nose is cold. Why do you care if I'm wearing a mask?"****The TV personality maintained that she was "just curious" and that it was "just a question," prompting the demonstrator to start chanting, "Agitators!" while pointing toward the Fox News crew.

"This is the crowd, and they apparently are policing our borders, they're policing their borders here," Ingraham continued, while the protesters started shouting, "Shame, shame, shame!" at the TV personnel.

Ingraham called their chant "Oh, so boring" before asking, "Do you have a job?"

When the footage ended, Ingraham informed her audience that, "As we were leaving in our vehicle, they did what they can do: They gave us all the finger. I think they secretly liked us, though."

As protests continue to call for justice for Good around the country, many entertainment figures have publicly condemned the fatal shooting, including *The View* cohosts.

Joy Behar said she felt that the video served as evidence that America is becoming "a dictatorship in the making," while Sunny Hostin alleged, "When I looked at the video from several different angles, I saw an unlawful killing," calling her assessment "very clear" given the videos she's seen.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Good's actions an "act of domestic terrorism" targeted at ICE officers after the Minnesota mom was filmed attempting to drive her car away from ICE agents on the street, with Noem claiming that Good “attempted to run them over and rammed them with her vehicle. An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot, to protect himself and the people around him."
