President Donald Trump says he feels ‘terrible’ about it Minnesota Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shoots Renee Good and claimed her father was his supporter.
“When I learned that this tragedy had happened to that young woman, I felt terrible. It’s a tragedy. It’s a terrible thing. Everyone would say — and ICE would say the same thing,” Trump told reporters at a White House press briefing on Tuesday, marking the one-year anniversary of his second inauguration.
“But when I learned about her parents, especially her father…I wish he still was, but I don’t know, [he] “He’s a huge Trump fan,” he said. He fully supports Trump. Love Trump, but this is terrible.
The president has previously described the 37-year-old woman who was shot three times Earlier this month, ICE official Jonathan Ross called him a “professional agitator.” Government officials have repeatedly accused her of “domestic terrorism.”
“A lot of people have told me that,” Trump said of his comments about Goode’s father. “They say, ‘Oh, he loves you’ … I hope he still feels that way.”
Not long ago, the president claimed he knew “both sides” of the incident, which sparked political outrage and civil unrest across the country. He also identified others he baselessly accused as “professional agitators” who he claimed were partly responsible for the tumultuous demonstrations against Goude’s killing and the mass deportation movement.
“There was another woman screaming: ‘Shame, shame, shame, shame’ … like a professional opera singer,” he said. “She’s loud, she’s professional… These are professional demagogues and professionals who want to see our country do badly. But that’s not happening because we have the hottest country.”
Earlier this month, Trump told CBS News in an interview that he believed Goode could be “a very reliable, great guy.”
“But, you know, she acted very forcefully,” he said.
“Her behavior was terrible,” he told new york times earlier this month. “Then she knocked him down. She didn’t try to knock him down. She knocked him down.”
The Ministry of Justice has Criminal grand jury subpoenas issued to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and at least three other Democratic officials in the state have been accused of obstructing federal immigration officials.
Legal experts point out that such public statements by them, including calls on demonstrators to refrain from participating and to remain peaceful in protests, are protected by the First Amendment.
Walz said last week in response to a preliminary report from the Justice Department investigation that Trump had “weaponized” the justice system against his political opponents, which was “a dangerous authoritarian tactic.” Frey said the investigations were “clearly designed to intimidate me into standing up for Minneapolis, local law enforcement and residents against the chaos and danger this administration has brought to our city.”
The decision to launch a federal investigation and subpoena Democratic leaders in a state Trump failed to win in the 2024 election follows an influx of immigration officials in Minnesota that has led to thousands of arrests and accusations of violence against immigrants and citizens by law enforcement.
