Trump’s comments, made during an interview with CBS News after his visit to a Ford factory in Detroit, came amid rising tensions between federal and local officials in Minneapolis after an ICE agent shot dead Renee Good at the wheel of her SUV on a residential street in Minneapolis last week. The killing set off nationwide protests and, led to the resignations of a half-dozen federal prosecutors in Minnesota, who objected to the justice department’s handling of the investigation into the killing. In the interview, the CBS anchor, Tony Dokoupil, said he had spoken to Good’s father, a strong Trump supporter who was “heartbroken” over his daughter’s death, about the administration’s characterization of Good as a domestic terrorist.

Key Highlights

  • Asked what he would say to the father, Trump said: “I would bet you that she, under normal circumstances, was a very solid, wonderful person.
  • But, you know, her actions were pretty tough.”Trump, the vice-president JD Vance and homeland security secretary Kristi Noem have repeatedly said the agent was acting in self-defense.
  • “There are a couple versions of that tape that are very, very bad,” Trump told CBS, and made the claim that videos capturing the shooting from various angles “can be viewed two ways”. Video analysis of the footage shows that Good’s vehicle was turning away from the officer as he opens fire. The administration characterized the incident as an “act of domestic terrorism”, accusing Good of being a “professional agitator”.
  • Video evidence and local officials have sharply contested that narrative.
  • Jacob Frey, the Minneapolis mayor, described the killing as a reckless use of power and told ICE to “get the fuck out of Minneapolis”.
