President Trump's remarks on Renee Good, the 37-year-old woman fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis, have sparked widespread criticism. When asked about his thoughts on the incident, Trump initially described Good as "very solid, wonderful person," but later downplayed her actions before being killed, saying they were "pretty tough."
Trump's comments have been met with outrage from many, particularly from those who know Good personally. Timothy Ganger, her father and a self-described Trump supporter, had spoken out about his daughter, describing her as warm, witty, and a poet who taught English. In contrast to Trump's characterization of Good as someone who was "pretty tough," Ganger painted a very different picture of his daughter.
The Trump administration has maintained that the ICE agent acted in self-defense and that Good attempted to ram the agent with her SUV. However, local officials have condemned the shooting, calling it unjustified, and some law enforcement experts have criticized the agent for positioning himself in front of Good's vehicle.
A cellphone video shared by the Trump administration appears to show the incident from the ICE officer's perspective, showing the car being pulled away as the agent approaches. Shots can be heard after that point. While Trump described the footage as having two possible interpretations, many have questioned its accuracy and raised concerns about the agent's actions leading up to the shooting.
Critics argue that Trump's comments on Good demonstrate a lack of empathy for the victim and her family, particularly in light of his administration's aggressive deportation policies. The president's defense of ICE has also been widely criticized, with many arguing that the agency is responsible for creating situations like this one.

... Trump's comments on Renee Good are literally shocking! Like, how can you call someone who was just shot by an ICE agent "pretty tough"?! 
It's just not right. I feel so bad for her family and friends who knew her as a poet and English teacher - she sounds like such an amazing person 
. And what's with the cellphone video? Can't we trust that it shows everything accurately? 
Trump says it has two possible interpretations, but I'm not buying it... this whole thing just smells fishy 
. The fact that his administration is defending ICE and their deportation policies is also super concerning - it feels like they're more focused on "keeping the country safe" than actually helping people 
.
especially with all the criticism from people who actually knew her. i mean, his defense of ICE is just ridiculous... they're basically creating situations like this where people get hurt or killed 
and trump is over here trying to sweep it under the rug 
. anyway, gotta side with Timothy Ganger on this one 
This is just so sad... Renee Good was a 37-year-old woman who lost her life under very tragic circumstances. It's absolutely unacceptable how President Trump has reacted to her death. He initially described her as "very solid, wonderful person" which sounds nice, but then downplayed her actions, saying they were "pretty tough". That's just not right.
And can we talk about how convenient it is for Trump to downplay the circumstances surrounding her death when his policies are directly responsible for situations like this happening in the first place? It's just not right. The video footage they shared doesn't even make sense, and I don't trust their narrative one bit. We need a president who can actually care about people's lives, you know? 
. The dude initially calls her a "very solid, wonderful person" and then suddenly she's like some kind of tough cookie? 
What is going on, man?! And don't even get me started on that cellphone video from the Trump administration... I mean, I know it's hard to trust sources when you're trying to spin a narrative, but come on 
. Trump just needs to take a step back and try to understand what's going on here before he starts spewing his usual nonsense 
.
I'm so done with Trump's lack of empathy and his constant defense of ICE. They're creating situations like this one because they care more about deporting people than about keeping people safe. It's just not right, you know? 
and how they have the best Korean BBQ tacos! Anyway, back to this news... I feel so bad for Renee Good's family and friends, it's just heartbreaking that she lost her life like that. And can we talk about how some people's words can be really hurtful? Like Trump's comments on Renee, it's not okay to downplay someone's actions before they're even gone 
.
. And what's up with people who support ICE? Like, I get that deportation is a tough topic, but don't we want to find better ways to deal with it? 
! My mom used to tell me stories about how mean the cops were back in my day, but you never thought they'd be the ones shooting unarmed people with SUVs 
. And can we talk about how that cellphone video from the Trump administration looks like it was edited to make ICE look like a hero? 
I just don't get why Trump is so quick to defend this guy when his daughter's life was literally cut short 
. His comments are more 'tough love' for his base than showing actual compassion. It's like, dude, Renee Good was just trying to get to work and you shot her... talk about 'pretty tough'? 
. And that cellphone video? More like a 'he said, she said' situation unless you're buying into the ICE spin
