I do. I think it's great. And I would bet you that she, under normal circumstances, was a very solid, wonderful person."

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot and killed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross as she tried to drive away from Ross and other agents. The administration deployed ICE and Border Patrol to Minneapolis and surrounding areas, with federal officers raiding businesses, manhandling residents, and demanding proof of citizenship. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem alleged Good was engaged in domestic terrorism, and Trump labeled her a professional agitator immediately after the shooting. During an interview in Detroit, Trump told Good's father he loves all people, suggested she may have been a "wonderful person" under normal circumstances, but characterized her actions as "pretty tough." Dokoupil did not ask about the "professional agitator" remark.
