During a press conference aboard Air Force One, President Trump blamed the victim, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, and her wife for the fatal shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

This response drew criticism for attempting to justify the use of deadly force and erase the identity of a same-sex couple. Advocacy groups have condemned the killing as preventable and reprehensible, and are calling for an independent investigation into the shooting.
