I think a nice woman, but I don't really like her too much, he said, waving away the question while getting some cheers from the crowd. The president went on to call the shooting a very unfortunate incident, and said he did not like the fact that Pretti was armed."
"Protests kicked off earlier this month after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Minneapolis mother Renee Good. ICE officials maintain the agent acted in self defense and that Good used her vehicle as a weapon, while local officials like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) have rejected that narrative.

President Donald Trump spoke to reporters in Iowa surrounded by supporters and mocked ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott after she began asking about the shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti. Trump interrupted, called the network 'fake news,' criticized the reporter, and called the shooting 'very unfortunate' while noting Pretti was armed. Conservative Second Amendment activists defended Pretti, arguing being armed did not alone constitute a threat.

An earlier ICE agent shooting of Renee Good sparked protests, and Minneapolis is suing the administration over ICE's presence. Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz demanded federal immigration authorities leave the state.
