Trump says Renee Good probably a ‘wonderful person – but her actions were pretty tough’

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Donald Trump defended his administration's immigration policies, stating that while Good was likely a "wonderful person," her "tough" actions justified the lethal response. The incident sparked nationwide protests and resignations of federal prosecutors who disagreed with the Justice Department's handling of the investigation. Despite video evidence suggesting Good's vehicle was turning away from the officer, Trump and other administration officials claim the agent acted in self-defense, characterizing the incident as domestic terrorism. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemned the killing, while the administration has expanded its enforcement operations in the Twin Cities, targeting the Somali community amidst fraud investigations into pandemic-era meal programs. Trump has used the scandal to justify the enforcement surge and has attacked Somali Americans with xenophobic language.
