Tensions rise as the FBI take full control of the investigation into the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot Wednesday in Minnesota while federal agents converged on the city. The shooting was captured on video by bystanders and as expected reactions to the video have been sharply divided along party lines on whose to blame.
President Trump reportedly defended the ICE agent to a group of reporters during an hours long interview that took place shortly after the story leaked of the ICE shooting.
“I want to see nobody get shot. I want to see nobody screaming and trying to run over policemen either,” Trump said to the reporters.
“It’s a terrible scene,” Trump said. “I think it’s horrible to watch. No, I hate to see it.”
Trump also commented on the shooting on his social media platform.
“Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but 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 posted.
