Trump says ICE shooting video is ‘horrible thing to watch’ and can’t believe agent ‘run over’ is alive

A SHOCKING clip from a deadly ICE shooting has drawn an immediate reaction from President Trump, who called it a “horrible thing to watch.”

The president said he watched footage of the incident and claimed the officer fired in “self-defense.”  The deadly confrontation took place on Wednesday in Minneapolis, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense,” he continued.

Trump said the officer, who was struck by the vehicle, is recovering in the hospital.

“Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital.”

He went on to link the shooting to what he described as growing hostility toward law enforcement by the left.

The Department of Homeland Security says the woman was trying to charge in the path of officers, and said it was an act of “domestic terrorism”

.Meanwhile, local officials like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have questioned federal authorities, with Frey calling the statement “bulls**t”

.Protesters quickly amassed at the site of the shooting, as a demonstration against ICE raids was already underway nearby
The killing unfolded during an illegal immigration crackdown, which has been at the top of President Donald Trump’s priorities since he took office

.The woman was shot dead just one mile away from where George Floyd was killed by a police officer in 2020, sparking a series of destructive riots

“The reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis,” Trump wrote.

“They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE.”

He ended his post with a call to support ICE agent and police nationwide.

“We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!” the president said.  The DHS confirmed the shooting in a statement.

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a post on X that the incident happened when “violent rioters” attempted to interfere with an ICE operation in Minneapolis.

What Happened
Video from the morning shows a woman using her car to block federal agents during an immigration crackdown.

Agents walked up to the vehicle and appeared to test the door before the car suddenly surged forward, prompting an ICE officer to fire three shots at the driver.

Footage obtained by ABC affiliate KSTP then shows the maroon Honda speeding off and slamming into a car parked along the street.

The driver was identified by her mother as Renee Nicole Good, a Twin Cities resident who lived with her partner, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.

Good’s mother, Donna Granger, said she was devastated and furious as she tried to process what happened.

“That’s so stupid,” Granger said, describing the moment she learned her daughter had been shot.  “She was probably terrified,” she added.

Granger insisted her daughter was “not part” of the protests against the ICE taking place that morning.  “Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” Granger said.

“She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life.”  “She was loving, forgiving, and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”

Mayor Hits Back
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey slammed the DHS account of the incident, calling the claim that the woman tried to charge at the ICE agent “bulls**t.”

Frey accused ICE agents of abusing their authority and demanded the raids in his city be stopped immediately.  “So they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense,” said Frey.

“Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bulls**t.  “We collectively are going to do everything possible to get to the bottom of this, to get justice and to make sure that there is an investigation conducted in full.”
