Trump says the woman killed by ICE ran over an agent
US President Donald Trump justified the killing of a woman by ICE in Minnesota, saying she ran over an agent.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE, shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in Minnesota during a federal immigration operation in the state.
Federal authorities said the shooting was an act of self-defence, a claim backed by US President Donald Trump. Trump used his social media platform, Truth Social, to defend the ICE operation, while acknowledging that it had ended in tragedy:
“I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. 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. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"

Although Trump said that, based on the video, it was hard to believe the officer was alive, and was taken to hospital. He went on to blame the left for the incident, describing them as “radicals.”
