Violent criminals seem to be in the agency,&rdquo; Goldberg said during a segment.<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg&rsquo;s comments follow an ICE-officer involved shooting where 37-year-old Renee Good was killed by an ICE officer after allegedly &ldquo;weaponizing&rdquo; her vehicle and driving into the officer.

You can tell she did not want to do it, but she had to do it because ABC&rsquo;s been sued before by President Trump, by the Trump administration, and they&rsquo;ve had to settle to the tune of millions of dollars,&rdquo; Concha said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The main point is that crazy town has only been expanded, in terms of rhetoric from the Left.
