Democrats have been attacking ICE agents since Trump launched his immigration crackdown.
They finally crossed a line.
And Trump blasted Tim Walz for his horrific act after a woman tried to run over an ICE agent and shocking details emerged about an earlier incident.
Trump backs ICE agent after fatal Minneapolis shooting
President Trump responded Wednesday to the fatal shooting in Minneapolis involving an ICE agent who killed a woman attempting to run him over.
The same ICE officer had been previously attacked and dragged by a vehicle back in June.
Trump reviewed video footage showing 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good accelerating her Honda Pilot toward the agent before he fired in self-defense.
"I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota," Trump said on Truth Social.
"It is a horrible thing to watch."
Trump called out the "woman screaming" on the video as "obviously, a professional agitator."
He explained that Good "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."
The President said the ICE agent was wounded and that he was now recovering in the hospital.
"Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital," Trump stated.
"The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis."
Vice President JD Vance also defended the agent's actions on X.
"You can accept that this woman's death is a tragedy while acknowledging it's a tragedy of her own making," Vance wrote.
"Don't illegally interfere in federal law enforcement operations and try to run over our officers with your car. It's really that simple."
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the incident an "act of domestic terrorism."
She revealed that the same ICE agent had been attacked before.
"The very same officer who was attacked today had previously been dragged by an anti-ICE rioter who had rammed him with a car and drug him back in June," Noem explained.
"He sustained injuries at that time as well."
Noem said ICE agents have faced more than 100 vehicle ramming attacks in recent weeks.
"ICE alone is facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats against all of them," Noem added.
Three separate vehicle ramming attacks against federal agents occurred in Minneapolis on Wednesday alone.
Walz and Frey immediately side with the attacker
Video evidence shows Good's Honda Pilot accelerating toward the ICE agent before he fired through the windshield.
A bullet hole is visible in the front glass where the agent shot to stop the attack.
But Minnesota Governor Tim Walz watched that same video and blamed Trump.
"We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever," Walz claimed at a press conference.
He called the shooting "preventable" and "unnecessary."
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey went further with an unhinged rant.
"This 'it was done in self-defense' is garbage," Frey said.
"Having seen the video myself, that is bulls**t."
Then Frey told ICE agents to "get the f*** out of Minneapolis."
"We do not want you here," Frey added.
"Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite."
Walz even put the Minnesota National Guard on standby.
Not to protect ICE agents from violent mobs.
To prepare for more Democrat protests against federal law enforcement.
U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) accused DHS of lying about the entire incident.
"You're lying," Omar posted on X.
"There was no attempt to run the officer over and no ICE agents appear to be hurt. Get out of our city."
She later called ICE officers purveyors of "state violence" and demanded they leave Minnesota.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told reporters he's "never been for ICE going into our cities."
Democrats created this chaos
The ICE agent had been stuck in snow trying to push his vehicle out when a mob of agitators surrounded him.
Good had been "stalking and impeding their work all throughout the day," according to Noem.
When agents approached her vehicle and ordered her to exit, she refused.
Then she weaponized her car and accelerated toward the agent.
Walz sided with someone who tried to kill a federal agent.
That's not an accident.
Democrats told their supporters for years that ICE agents are Nazis who deserve to be attacked.
The same officer Good tried to run over had already been dragged by a vehicle back in June.
How many times does an ICE agent have to get attacked before Democrats admit their "abolish ICE" rhetoric has consequences?
Minneapolis schools shut down Thursday and Friday because officials know more violence is coming from the Left.
And Walz is still blaming Trump for defending the agent.
Trump deployed more than 2,000 agents to Minneapolis as part of the largest immigration enforcement operation in history.
Democrats running the city declared Minneapolis a "sanctuary city" and ordered local police not to cooperate with ICE.
That's why mobs feel comfortable surrounding federal agents and trying to run them over.
Walz, Frey, and Omar created the environment where this happened.
They spent years demonizing ICE agents and calling for the agency to be abolished.
Now someone's dead and an ICE agent is in the hospital.
But they're still taking the side of the mob instead of law enforcement.
Trump called on Americans to support the agents risking their lives to enforce immigration law.
"We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!" Trump declared.
Vance put it even more bluntly in a follow-up post.
"I want every ICE officer to know that their president, vice president, and the entire administration stands behind them," Vance wrote.
"To the radicals assaulting them, doxxing them, and threatening them: congratulations, we're going to work even harder to enforce the law."
Democrats are furious Trump won't let them turn federal agents into targets.
