Good was shot on January 7 while behind the wheel of her car as she drove away from ICE officers who were carrying out raids in her neighborhood, while Pretti was taking part in an ICE protest on January 24 when he was tackled to the ground by officers and shot. His death has since been ruled as a homicide by a medical examiner.

Donald Trump has addressed both matters and appeared to place blame on both Pretti and Good for the violence that broke out — but now, Trump seemingly developed a more sympathetic point of view.
Speaking with NBC News, the president said he was ‘not happy’ about what happened.
« [Pretti] was not an angel and [Good] was not an angel, » Trump said. « You know, you 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. »
The POTUS went on to share his thoughts on who ‘feels worse than anybody’ about the shootings, with his comments marking a contrast on what he’s said previously.
In a Truth Social post shared the day after Good’s passing, he said of the footage of the moments leading up to the 37-year-old mother being shot: « The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing, and resisting, who then violently, wilfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self-defense. »
« We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate, » he added.
