In a post on social media blaming who he called the radical left, Trump backed authorities' version of events, saying, 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. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also defended the ICE agent by claiming the woman tried to run the agent over with her vehicle. Multiple witnesses at the scene tell CNN the woman was not acting aggressively prior to the shooting.
