Donald Trump had a shocking response when asked whether deadly force should have been used against mom-of-three Renee Nicole Good.

US citizen Renee, 37, was shot dead by an ICE agent in front of her wife during a protest against ICE in Minneapolis on January 7.

In the immediate aftermath of her death, the Trump administration including Kristi Noem and Trump claimed that Renee was a 'domestic terrorist' and that she had been attempting to hit her killer, named as ICE officer Jonathan Ross, with her car.

However analysis of footage of the tragedy from several angles by a number of news outlets including the New York Times has challenged this narrative, with their analysis concluding that video showed Renee had been attempting to drive away from the scene when Ross shot her three times at point-blank range.

Trump said: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement."

The president went on to claim that they had been 'harassing' officers and 'following them for days, for hours', and also accused them of being 'professional agitators'.

Referring to Renee's wife Becca Good, Trump said: "The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement."

He added: "Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

Trump went on to call the actions of Renee and her wife 'outrageous'.

In the clip, which shows Trump speaking to journalists on a plane with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt standing behind him, the president does not appear to directly answer the question of whether deadly force was justified.

Renee's death sparked an outpouring of grief and anger, with Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey telling ICE to 'get the f**k out of Minneapolis' in the interests of public safety.

Minnesota governor Tim Walz also told press that he had issued an alert to the state's national guard as a precautionary measure.

Other video of the tragedy shows ICE officers barring a man saying he is a physician from attending to Renee to check for a pulse after she was shot.

When the man tells officers that he is a physician and wants to administer medical aid, an officer responds by telling him: "I don't care."

Footage of the tragedy shot by Ross on his phone shows Renee's last words to him, where she calmly told her killer: "That's fine dude. I'm not mad at you."

As Renee's car careens out of control after Ross shot her dead at the wheel, he can be heard muttering 'f*****g b***h'.
