New video shows officer's perspective in ICE shooting of Renee Good

What Jewish religion text made that claim?

The answer is complex.

During Herodian rule, a cut of the Temple tax (that supported the Temple, priests, etc, and was therefore dedicated to God) was taken in tax by Rome. This was seen as theft from God.

Additionally, the Temple had its own currency, because Roman coins referred to Caesar as divine. Roman currency was therefore blasphemous. This necessitated the money changers in the temple courts (whom Jesus objected to). The money from the temple that was taxed by the Romans also had to be converted back to Roman coin, so it was seen by religious hard-liners as a blasphemous offering.

This was compounded by the fact that the Romans also made no attempt to hide that some of the taxes they took were for offerings to Roman gods and goddesses, By paying the taxes, one was seen as 'sacrificing to other gods'.

After the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD, the Fiscus Judaicus (money from the Jews), previously for Jerusalem's Temple upkeep, was redirected to the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus in Rome.

The Dead Sea scrolls of the Essene sect, in the Temple scroll considered that any sort of capitulation to foreign rule was contrary to the intent of Gods law and the promised supremacy of the nation of Israel.

The Maccabean Revolt in pre-Roman times was based upon the assumed supremacy of the nation of Israel, as was the Bar Kokhba revolt during early Roman rule.

Additionally newly discovered court documents from the immediate post-Christian times, and discovered in Judea, show significant local tax evasion and tax fraud cases that argued religious exemption.
