"The woman, identified as Renee Nicole Good, had parked her car in the middle of a residential street as demonstrators were taking part in a protest against the agency. Video of the incident shows Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents approach her van, at which point she attempts to drive off. An ICE agent near the front-left side of her vehicle then pulls out a gun and opens fire as she drives away from him, shooting her in the face."
"The president described the incident as a "vicious situation that took place." He then blamed Good, not the ICE agent who shot her, for her death. "She behaved horribly. And then she ran him over," Trump said, peddling an account of events that is contradicted by video footage of the incident from multiple angles. Trump doubled down on that falsehood: "She didn't try to run him over. She ran him over," he insisted."
Renee Nicole Good parked her car in a residential street during a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE agents approached her van; video shows an agent near the front-left side draw a gun and fire as she drove away, striking her in the face. Her vehicle subsequently crashed into another car. Additional footage appears to show ICE agents preventing onlookers and a man identifying himself as a physician from providing medical aid. Hours later, President Donald Trump and other administration officials blamed Good for her death, repeatedly asserting she ran the agent over despite multiple-angle video that contradicts that account.
