An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer has shot and killed a Minneapolis driver during the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown on a major American city. Federal officials called the 37-year-old woman's killing Wednesday an act of self-defense. But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey dismissed that characterization as “garbage,” saying he had watched videos of the shooting that show it wasn't self-defense and was avoidable. Hundreds of people descended on the scene to protest the shooting, which happened in a snowy neighborhood about a mile from where police killed George Floyd in 2020.
The woman was shot in a residential neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a Minneapolis motorist during the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown in a major U.S. city — a shooting that federal officials claimed was an act of self-defense but that the city’s mayor described as “reckless” and unnecessary. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described Wednesday's incident as an “act of domestic terrorism” carried out against ICE officers by a woman who “attempted to run them over.” Hours after the shooting of the woman, an angry Mayor Jacob Frey blasted the federal crackdown in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
