"Bottom line, it was terrible, he said when asked about Pretti's death. Both of them were terrible; the other was terrible too, Trump continued, referring to Good as well. And I'm not sure about his parents, but I know her parents were big Trump fans, makes me feel bad anyway. But I guess you could say even worse, they were tremendous Trump people, Trump fans."
"The president went on to speculate that Good was maybe radicalized, maybe not. I don't know, but I hate to see it, he said.

"The incident has resulted in ongoing protests over the federal government's deployment of ICE agents in the area, and demonstrations have only increased after Pretti was shot by federal agents on Saturday. The 37-year-old VA hospital nurse was killed as officers conducted a targeted operation against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, according to the Department of Homeland Security."
President Trump said he felt terrible about the shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good and expressed particular distress because Good's parents were strong Trump supporters. Trump speculated that Good may have been radicalized but said he did not know. Renee Good, 37, a mother and poet, was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in a residential neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis. Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA hospital nurse, was killed during a targeted federal operation against an alleged violent offender, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The incidents have spurred ongoing and intensified protests over ICE deployment in Minneapolis.
