"It is amazing that you had a man who was a nurse at a VA hospital and was a Good Samaritan, dared to be a good Samaritan, and he got shot and killed for it. But I think he would have tried to help that lady up again if he had a chance to do it again. And Renee Good trying to calm this untrained scared ICE officer down going, Dude, I'm not mad. You know, it's really been remarkable what we've seen coming out of Minnesota."
"I said, Listen and I don't usually do this, but I just called him up I said, If you don't mind, off the record, tell me of the call. And he told me about the call. And I said, I you know, Mr. President, I think I think it's a good thing for Americans to see you and Tim Walz and the mayor of Minneapolis talking to each other. We need more of that."
Minnesotans protesting an immigration enforcement operation were praised for courage. Alex Pretti, a VA hospital nurse who intervened as a Good Samaritan, was shot and killed during the incident. Renee Good tried to calm an untrained, frightened ICE officer while being a central figure in the confrontation. The shootings prompted even long-time Trump-aligned friends to question administration defensive posturing and Homeland Security messaging. A phone call between the President, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was characterized as a positive display of cooperation. The call was described as an example Americans need to see more of.
