"Claim: "[] 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 []," wrote Donald Trump on his profile on the social media platform Truth Social. He also published a 13-second clip to support his claim. In it, we see a dark-colored SUV driving toward an officer. Trump's post was also posted as a screencast on the White House Instagram account."
"The clip the US president shared was initially posted on the Instagram channel KSTP-TV 5 Eyewitness News. Looking closely at the clip Trump shared posted to his account in slow motion one may indeed get the impression at the five-second timestamp that the SUV has run the officer over, and that he starts shooting a moment later in response."
An ICE agent shot a 37-year-old woman, Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis on January 7; she died in hospital shortly afterward. Donald Trump shared a 13-second clip and claimed the woman had run over the ICE officer and that the officer shot in self-defense. DW Fact Check analyzed two videos and concluded the assertion is false. The clip Trump shared originated from KSTP-TV's Instagram and was posted to his account in slow motion, which can create the impression at the five-second timestamp that the SUV ran over the officer. Careful review of the footage shows that impression is misleading.
