Trump Appears to Backtrack After Watching ICE Shooting Footage With Reporters

He had promoted a slowed, partial clip that does not show an officer being run over.

Overview

  • During a nearly two-hour New York Times interview, Trump played the video on a laptop, and reporters told him the angle did not show an ICE officer being run over.
  • After insisting the driver “ran him over,” Trump hesitated when viewing the clip with reporters and called the scene “terrible” and “horrible to watch.”
  • The video Trump posted to Truth Social highlighted gunshots but omitted earlier moments described in other footage in which Renee Nicole Good appeared to wave agents to go around.
  • TheWrap reports that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem labeled the incident an “act of domestic terrorism,” while a Times analysis of multiple angles found the vehicle appeared to be turning away as shots were fired.
  • Top Trump adviser Tom Homan initially told CBS News he would not judge the circulating video, then appeared to walk back that stance as scrutiny grew.
