The New York Times • • general
Key Points:
- President Trump expressed sorrow over the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent, calling it a "tragedy" and acknowledging that immigration agents can sometimes make mistakes.
- This marked a shift from his earlier statements, where he falsely accused Good of violently attacking the ICE officer and suggested her behavior justified the shooting.
- Trump previously supported labeling Good as a "domestic terrorist," a stance echoed by other administration officials, but he softened his tone during a recent White House reflection.
- He emphasized understanding both sides of the incident and described the shooting as a "horrible thing," while noting that ICE agents deal with difficult individuals and errors can occur.
