US President Donald Trump has reiterated his baseless claim that Renee Good, a 37-year-old woman who was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis last week, was part of a "leftwing network" of paid agitators.
According to Trump, the killing is evidence of how protesters against his mass deportation campaign are allegedly inciting violence against federal agents. The president claimed that the only explanation for someone screaming "shame!" repeatedly during the incident was that they were a paid agitator trying to provoke an reaction from law enforcement.
However, it remains unclear whether the person who screamed at the ICE officers was actually present when Renee Good was killed or if it was simply a bystander witnessing the event. The video footage of the killing does not provide clear evidence that anyone in Good's vicinity was attempting to incite violence, and Trump's assertion is contradicted by numerous recorded incidents over the past year where protesters have expressed outrage against federal agents carrying out immigration raids.
Trump also seemed to be dismissive of the woman who screamed at the ICE officers, saying she didn't do a good job. The incident has raised questions about how law enforcement agencies will respond to protests and demonstrations, particularly in communities that are already disproportionately affected by immigration policies.
The president's assertion that only paid agitators would scream out in protest against federal agents is not supported by evidence, and many have criticized Trump for attempting to deflect attention from the fact that Renee Good was an innocent victim of ICE brutality.

it's like he's blaming the victims here... Renee Good was just a woman who was doing her thing in public, and some cop comes along and shoots her. that's not okay, no matter what you're protesting. and now trump's saying she was some kinda agitator? that's just not true 
i mean, have you seen the video footage of her screaming "shame!"? it looks like she was genuinely upset, not trying to provoke anyone at all 
I mean, come on, Donald Trump and his "leftwing network" nonsense... like, what even is that? And now he's claiming this poor woman was screaming "shame!" because she was a paid agitator trying to provoke law enforcement? That's just ridiculous. We have footage of the whole thing and it doesn't show anyone inciting violence. I'm not buying it. The fact that he's dismissing the woman who screamed at the ICE officers as not doing a good job is even more messed up. It's like, hello, she was witnessing a brutal killing and you're gonna trash her? And what about all these other instances of protesters speaking out against federal agents carrying out immigration raids? Trump just ignores those or dismisses them as not being "real" protests. Get with the program, Mr. President... 
. And btw, what's with the tone-deaf remark about the woman not doing a good job? That's just classless. This whole thing stinks of an attempt to deflect attention from ICE's own failures and now he's trying to paint innocent people like Renee Good as some kind of paid agitators? It's just not adding up 
.
... trump's just makin' stuff up again, no surprise there. it's like he thinks protesters are just a bunch of paid agitators tryin' to incite violence everywhere they go? and now he's actin' like the lady who screamed out in protest was just some amateur tryin' not to do her job 
... meanwhile, we got a whole lotta people who actually care about social justice and are speakin' out against this kinda brutality. and yeah, it's clear as day that trump doesn't wanna take responsibility for his own policies and the harm they cause to innocent people like reneé good 
... this is just gettin' more and more ridiculous by the minute 
. And can we talk about how dismissive he was of that woman who screamed at the ICE officers? Like, poor thing didn't do a good job according to Trump 
this is so messed up 
the video footage doesn't lie, but trump isn't listening 
and now reneé good is gone, innocent lives lost because of his rhetoric 
. Like, who needs proof when you've got a good narrative? I mean, Trump's not saying there's no paid agitators out there, he's just pointing out that whoever screamed "shame!" at the ICE agents might be one of them 
. And honestly, can we even trust anyone who's against Trump at this point? Like, maybe Renee Good was part of some secret cabal trying to take him down 
I think it's so sad what happened to Renee Good and I don't care who was in her vicinity, screaming at the ICE agents is still super outta line!!! She should've just kept quiet and let them do their thing... oh wait, she had nothing to say because she got shot 
. And honestly, if someone's gonna scream "shame!" during a bad situation, they're probs just trying to stir up trouble. Trump's right, you can't trust those paid agitators to have your best interests at heart... and btw, who's to say the woman who screamed was even a good person?
