"[…] the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive […]," wrote Trump on his social media platform Truth Social. He reposted a 13-second clip to support his claim. In it, we see a dark-colored SUV driving toward an officer. Trump's post was also posted as a screencast on the White House Instagram account.

Publisher’s rating: DW fact check: False. Trump's claim that Renee Nicole Good ran over an ICE officer is false. The clip the US president shared was initially posted on the Instagram channel KSTP-TV 5 Eyewitness News. Looking closely at the clip Trump shared — posted to his account in slow motion — one may indeed get the impression at the 5-second time stamp that the SUV has run the officer over, and that he starts shooting a moment later in response. However, it is clear by the 8-second mark, at the latest, that the aforementioned ICE officer is standing upright and looking at the vehicle as it drives away. Watching the clip at the original speed, it is evident that, although the SUV is moving, the ICE officer jumps back from it and is not run over. This can be seen even more clearly when we observe the incident from a different perspective.

"[…] die Frau, die das Auto fuhr, verhielt sich sehr ungebührlich, behinderte und leistete Widerstand, woraufhin sie den ICE-Beamten gewaltsam, vorsätzlich und böswillig überfuhr, der sie offenbar in Notwehr erschossen hat. Aufgrund des beigefügten Clips ist es schwer zu glauben, dass er noch am Leben ist […]", schreibt Donald Trump am 7. Januar auf seinem Profil auf der Social-Media-Plattform Truth Social. Dazu veröffentlicht er einen 13-sekündigen Clip, der seine Behauptung untermauern soll. Darin sieht man, wie ein dunkler SUV auf einen Beamten zufährt. Trumps Post wurde als Screencastauch auf dem Instagram-Account des Weißen Hauses gepostet.

Publisher’s rating: DW Faktencheck: Falsch. Donald Trumps Behauptung, Renee Nicole Good habe einen ICE-Beamten überfahren, ist falsch. Der Clip, den der US-Präsident teilt, wurde zunächst auf dem Instagram-Kanal "KSTP-TV 5 Eyewitness News" geteilt und zeigt die Situation aus einer anderen Perspektive. Schaut man sich den von Trump geteilten Clip genau an - den er auf seinem Account übrigens in Zeitlupe postete - kann bei Sekunde fünf tatsächlich der Eindruck entstehen, dass der SUV den Beamten umgefahren hat und dieser kurz darauf losschießt. Spätestens bei Sekunde acht sieht man allerdings, dass der besagte ICE-Beamte auf beiden Beinen steht und dem wegfahrenden Wagen hinterherschaut.

After marriage, Abdul's real face came to light in Honda Sherni's life. When this Didi clearly refused to eat meat and convert to Islam, Abdul started beating and mentally harassing her. This violence gradually increased so much that all limits of humanity were crossed. It is alleged that Abdul, with the intention of torturing and intimidating Honda Sherni, locked her in the refrigerator in the name of cooling her, which posed a serious threat to her life. This was not just domestic violence, but a serious crime of forcibly imposing one's faith, food habits and personal freedom. Later, after receiving information, the police reached the spot and Didi was taken out of the fridge and rescued.

The photo shows Unnao rape case convict Kuldeep Singh Sengar being garlanded after his release from jail.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

FACTLY reports that the viral photo is AI-generated, citing a Gemini watermark and AI-detection results. It says Sengar was not released after the Delhi High Court’s 23 December 2025 order because he was also serving a concurrent sentence in the custodial-death case; the Supreme Court stayed the High Court order on 29 December 2025.
