The Unclear Words of Trump on a Serious Matter

In a recent event, President Donald Trump, aged 79, struggled to provide a clear answer to a straightforward question. The question was about the implications of an ICE agent being immune from prosecution after fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis.

The Incident

The woman, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, was a U.S. citizen who was shot in the face while attempting to drive away from an ICE protest. Some members of the administration have incorrectly stated that ICE agents have "absolute immunity" in such situations.

Trump's Confusing Response

When asked about this, Trump gave a confusing response. He described Good as "very violent" and "very radical," despite video evidence showing her calmly speaking to the agent before the shooting. He also mentioned her friend as being "very radical," but did not provide any further details.

Trump was asked again to define "absolute immunity," but his response was even more unclear. He said:

"Well, I'm going to let the people define it. But immunity, you know what immunity, what knows means as well as I do."

Details of the Shooting

The incident in question involved ICE agents surrounding Good's SUV while another woman, believed to be Good's wife, Rebecca, filmed them. The agents ordered Good to exit her vehicle, but she attempted to drive away instead. An agent then shot her three times in the head.

Initial Claims and Video Evidence

After the shooting, both Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem initially claimed that Good was trying to run over the agents. Noem even accused Good, a Christian stay-at-home mother, of "domestic terrorism."

However, video evidence later showed that Good's tires were turned away from the agent at the time of the shooting. Vice President JD Vance, a Yale Law School graduate, implied that the facts were irrelevant because the shooter was "doing his job" and therefore covered by full federal immunity.

Legal Reality vs. Administration Claims

In reality, the Supreme Court has only granted the president "absolute immunity" from criminal prosecution for "official acts," not other federal officials. Despite this, the Trump administration has tried to prevent the state of Minnesota from investigating Good's killing.

Public Outcry and Protests

Over the weekend, thousands of people protested Good's death at anti-ICE rallies across the U.S. When asked aboard Air Force One whether deadly force was necessary against Good, Trump refused to give a direct answer.

He stated:

"It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement,"

despite pardoning over 1,500 defendants who attacked police officers during the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump continued:

"The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement. You saw that they were harassing them, were following for days and for hours. Uh, and I think frankly they're professional agitators."

Good's Background

Good and her wife had just dropped off their 6-year-old son at school when they came across protesters trying to disrupt an ICE raid and decided to stop, according to Good's ex-husband.

Trump's Interruption

When a reporter tried to ask Trump whether "disrespect" was enough to justify killing a U.S. citizen, he interrupted her. He said:

"I'd like to find out—and we are going to find out—who's paying for it."

The administration has repeatedly claimed that millions of anti-Trump protesters are being paid by shadowy radical groups, but the FBI has not yet figured out who's behind this alleged conspiracy.
