President Trump "gaggled" with reporters Sunday evening on Air Force One as he made his way back to Washington, D.C., after spending the weekend at his "Winter White House," Mar-a-Lago. The president was peppered with questions about Iran, capping credit card rates, and the new "Melania" film due out in theaters later this month, but was clearly irate at the poor treatment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, saying they were merely carrying out what he was elected to do.

He also had particularly harsh words for anti-ICE protester Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed last Wednesday after using her two-ton Honda Pilot in a threatening way toward ICE officers, calling her a "professional agitator" whose behavior, along with her "friend," Rebecca Good, was "outrageous."

"It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement," said President Trump. "The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement. You saw that. They were harassing, they were following [ICE] for days and for hours. And I think, frankly they're professional agitators. And we are going to find out who's paying for it."

Noting the professional-looking signs held by some anti-ICE protesters, the president added, "These are professional agitators. And law enforcement should not be put in a position where they have to put up with this stuff. What that woman and her friend – and their other friends – were doing to law enforcement, not just ICE, but law enforcement, was just outrageous."

At a different point during the gaggle, President Trump commented of Renee Good: "The woman was very violent – she's a very radical person. It's very sad what happened. Her friend was very radical."

When asked by a reporter if the ICE agent involved in the shooting would "be back on the force," Trump pivoted attention back onto Good, saying, "We have to respect our law enforcement. At a very minimum, [Renee Good] was very, very disrespectful to law enforcement." He made it crystal clear that "you can't do that with law enforcement, whether it's police, or ICE, or Border Patrol — or anybody else."

President Trump voiced his support for the men and women of law enforcement, whom he says are simply enforcing "what I got elected on!"

As RedState has been reporting, Minneapolis "ICE Watch" redical Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed on January 7 when she accelerated her car at an ICE agent; her "wife," Rebecca Good, stood by the vehicle taunting officers and screaming at Renee to "drive, baby, drive." Democrats claim Renee was an innocent bystander, but several videos have surfaced of the incident showing that both women were willing participants in stalking, harassing, and demonstrating threatening behavior toward the officers and agents at the scene.
