President Trump has added another justification for the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minnesota: She behaved badly.
At a very minimum, that woman was very, very disrespectful to law enforcement, Mr. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday evening.
In the days since Ms. Good, 37, was shot and killed by Jonathan Ross, an ICE agent, Trump administration officials have used a variety of arguments as they have tried to justify the episode. They have called it an act of self-defense, and Mr. Trump has falsely claimed Ms. Good ran over the agent. JD Vance, the vice president, has argued that Mr. Ross has absolute immunity.
While Mr. Trump still says the ICE agent was acting in self-defense, his latest comments suggest that disrespecting law enforcement could help to justify the killing. The comments raise serious questions about the use of force by those carrying out Mr. Trumps crackdown on immigration, and they underscore the extent to which Mr. Trumps impulse is to condemn anything done by his critics and to defend the actions of his supporters.
