WASHINGTON (Gray News) – President Donald Trump said during Tuesday’s White House press briefing that he feels bad about Renee Good’s death.
Good, 37, was shot and killed on Jan. 7 by a federal officer in Minneapolis as she sat in her SUV amid citywide protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity.
Tricia McLaughlin, a public affairs official with the Department of Homeland Security, said in a recent interview that Good was “stalking and harassing law enforcement” for hours that morning, and she “gunned the vehicle” toward several ICE agents in the street.
Officials in Minnesota and Good’s family have disputed the Trump administration’s description of the shooting.

Video of the incident appears to show an ICE officer fire several shots into the SUV from close range before he gets out of the way of Good’s approaching vehicle.
“They’re going to make mistakes sometimes. ICE is going to be too rough with somebody, or they’re dealing with rough people,” Trump said. “They’re going to make a mistake sometimes. It can happen. We feel terribly. I felt horribly when I was told that the young woman … the tragedy. It’s a tragedy. It’s a horrible thing. Everybody would say, ICE would say the same thing.”
Trump’s remarks came as the Department of Justice subpoenaed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and five other officials in the state as part of an ICE obstruction investigation.

“When I learned her parents, and her father in particular, I hope he still is, but I don’t know, were tremendous Trump fans. He was all for Trump. Loved Trump, and it’s terrible,” the president added. “I was told that by a lot of people. They said, ‘Oh, he loves you.’ He was. I hope he still feels that way.”
Good’s loved ones have hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd’s family during the probe into his death in police custody.
