Being “disrespectful of law enforcement” is not a crime, and is not something that American citizens should be summarily executed for by masked men in unmarked cars.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

He needs to delete that post or resign. We have the right to witness, film, and photograph what ICE is doing publicly.
ICE and the Trump Admin need to tone down their rhetoric – it's going to cause more people to get killed.
