"He was not an angel and she was not an angel. Look at some tapes from back but still, I'm not happy with what happened there. Nobody could be happy, and ICE wasn't happy either. But I'm gonna be always with our great people of law enforcement. ICE, police, we have to back them. If we don't back them, we don't have a country."
"No, I don't. It should have not happened, the president said, before claiming that the agencies involved are more upset about the killings than anyone. And you know who feels worse about it than anybody? The people of ICE. They're strong, tough people. Yeah, Llamas said. And they have to be tough because we're dealing with hardened criminals, Trump added."
An ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis. About two weeks later, Alex Pretti was reportedly fatally shot by Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez. The administration announced withdrawal of 700 of 2,700 federal immigration agents in the Twin Cities amid a crackdown. In an NBC interview, President Trump acknowledged both incidents, said neither victim was 'an angel', called the shootings unacceptable, and expressed support for ICE and law enforcement. The president asserted that ICE agents feel worse about the killings than anyone and described agents as strong, tough, and dealing with hardened criminals.
