US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent acted in self-defense during a fatal shooting in the state of Minnesota, APA reports, citing Anadolu Agency.
Trump described the encounter in Minneapolis as “a horrible thing to watch."
"The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and 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," he wrote on Truth Social after viewing video of the shooting.
Trump said the officer was injured and is recovering at the hospital. “Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive,” the president said.
"The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is that the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents daily," he said.
The White House said it stands with the "brave" men and women of ICE and law enforcement who "risk everything to keep our communities safe."
