Officials Dispute Federal Account of Fatal ICE Encounter in Minnesota

Federal officials said a woman was trying to kill agents with a car in Minneapolis. City and state officials called that account false, demanding an end to the immigration crackdown.

The New York Times

#DHS ofcls said the #shooting occurred as agents were conducting “targeted operations” & were confronted by protesters. Tricia McLaughlin, an agency propagandist, said in a statement that a woman had “weaponized her vehicle” & tried to kill federal officers. [this statement will likely to turn out to be false]

The federal government’s description of the encounter could not immediately be verified independently. Rep #IlhanOmar, a #Democrat whose congressional district includes the shooting scene, described the person as a “legal observer.”

Hundreds of people gathered at the scene, chanting for #ICE agents to leave. The #shooting took place in a middle-class residential neighborhood in #Minneapolis, about a mile from the place where #GeorgeFloyd was killed by #police in 2020.

#Trump #law #immigration

#Minneapolis Mayor Frey described the #shooting as “an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed.” He took issue with the federal government’s description of the shooting, describing it as “bullshit,” saying that he had viewed video of the incident.

The mayor said there “were dozens if not hundreds” of #ICE agents at the #shooting scene, and that #Minneapolis officials tried to speed their departure. “Having them there was only causing more chaos,” he said. Frey, who is just days into his third term, said the #Trump admin wanted an excuse to #occupy the city. He called for residents to “show them something far more beautiful than the kind of division that they’re trying to stoke.”

Chief Brian O’Hara of the #Minneapolis #police said his officers went to the scene after being told that federal agents had fired shots. The woman who was shot had a head wound, he said, & was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Chief O’Hara said the #FBI & the #Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension had taken control of the #crime scene. He said an investigation would take place, but it was unclear which agency would investigate—or whether both would. [pray it’s not the FBI]

Local officials in #Minneapolis called on #federal forces to leave the city after a woman was fatally shot during a confrontation with #immigration “agents”. But they urged residents to remain calm….

“We’re demanding #ICE to leave the city immediately,” Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, said on social media, saying that the #shooting involved an agent with ICE. He added that “the presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city.”

#Trump #law #DueProcess #UseOfForce

Attorney General Keith Ellison of #Minnesota, a Democrat, said in a statement that “if anyone broke the #law in today’s act of #violence, I will do all I can to ensure they are held accountable.” Ellison criticized the deployment of #immigration “officers” to his state, saying it was “spreading terror throughout our communities.”

A large throng of protesters gathered at the scene after the #shooting, where they vented their anger at the officers who were there, including #GregBovino, a senior #CBP ofcl who has been the face of crackdowns in #LosAngeles, #Chicago & elsewhere.

“Shame! Shame! Shame!” & “ICE out of #Minnesota!” they loudly chanted from behind police tape.

ICE officer kills a Minneapolis woman during the latest immigration crackdown

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.

AP News

After watching the videos, there is no way to describe this other than #murder.

The woman was driving away.

The “agent” shot directly at her, & she was shot in the head.

Murder.

#KristiNoem, #DHS secy, briefly addressed the #shooting during an unrelated news conference in Brownsville, Texas, & described the incident as “an act of domestic terrorism.”

Utter fucking bullshit.

This kind of #ICE / #CBP shooting happened several times in #Chicago, probably elsewhere, but there weren’t 2+ videos of the incidents obviously showing the aggressor was the “agent”.

Reminder #Trump is paying randos off the street with no training to be ICE agents.

#law #Minneapolis #murder

#ICE offers significant recruitment incentives, including up to a $50k signing bonus, up to $60k in student loan repayment, & 25% premium pay (LEAP) for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Special Agents, alongside strong federal benefits (health, retirement, TSP). These incentives are funded by the new #OneBigBeautifulBill #legislation.

All just to be a murderous Nazi!

Gov. #TimWalz of #Minnesota replied to the social media post from #DHS by saying that “I’ve seen the video” & “don’t believe this #propaganda machine.” He promised “a full, fair & expeditious investigation.”

Dudes… watch the video… there WAS NO ATTACK!!!!

Several national #Republicans shared statements of support for #ICE after the #shooting. “Attacks on our law enforcement cannot be tolerated,” said [#JanSixer] Rep #BarryLoudermilk of #Georgia.

Rep #AndyOgles of #Tennessee wrote that “if you put an ICE agent in mortal danger, self-defense is JUSTIFIED.”

Local & state officials [& anyone with eyeballs] have disputed federal accounts of the shooting & whether the agents were in any danger.

#law

Gov #TimWalz of #Minnesota is speaking
alongside other state ofcls about the #shooting. “We have been warning for weeks that the #Trump administration’s dangerous, sensationalized operations are a threat to our #PublicSafety,” he said, adding that today it cost a person her life.

Walz said “I feel your anger.” He called for any #protests to be #peaceful. “They want a show,” he said. “We can’t give it to them.”

#law #ExtraJudicialKillings #Minnesota #RightToProtest #DueProcess #UseOfForce #ICE

Governor #TimWalz said he had activated the state’s Emergency Operations Center & issued a “warning order” to prepare the #Minnesota #NationalGuard. “We have soldiers in training & prepared to be deployed if necessary,” he said. [Hell yeah. This is 100% what every governor must do. I wrote to Pritzker about it, but 🤷🏼‍♀️]

#Minnesota Gov #TimWalz directly addressed #Trump & #KristiNoem, #DHS secy, saying in a news conference: “You’ve done enough.” He said the #state does not need “any further help from the #federal government.”

Walz said the #shooting was “totally predictable” & “totally avoidable.” He said federal ofcls were NOT coordinating with local law enforcement.

#law #ExtraJudicialKillings #Minneapolis #RightToProtest #DueProcess #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality #CivilRights #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung

#TimWalz has twice mentioned the #protests that followed the #murder of #GeorgeFloyd by a #Minneapolis #police officer in 2020, & lessons learned from that experience. The governor was criticized by some for not mobilizing the #NationalGuard more quickly at the time.

Bob Jacobson, the commissioner of the #Minnesota Dept of #PublicSafety, said a #state law enforcement agency was working with the #FBI to investigate the #shooting.

#Trump #law #ExtraJudicialKillings #DueProcess #UseOfForce

#Tyrant & #POS #Trump, in a post on social media, claimed without evidence that the woman who was shot & murdered by #ICE agents was “obviously, a professional agitator,” adding that he believed that the agents had “shot her in self defense.” Trump has a documented record of making false & unsupported claims about demonstrators protesting his policies.

For reference [I won’t link you to that site] this is the video that #Trump posted. No edits from me. It’s in slo-mo. No “agent” is run-over as he claims.

The man is delusional.

Please view the other full unedited videos posted by me & @LaNaehForaday if you are interested in reality.

Description of the numerous videos:

#Minneapolis, #Minnesota, a maroon Honda Pilot is stopped on Portland Ave, apparently blocking one lane of the snowy residential street. The driver rolls forward slightly, then stops & waves at approaching vehicles, signaling that they should drive past.

The videos show the driver wave one vehicle by. When a truck with flashing lights approaches, she waves again, but the truck stops & federal agents emerge.

🧵

🧵cont

Two agents step out & move toward the driver’s side. The agents, without identifying themselves or their legal authority & using profanity tell the driver to “get out of the fucking car.”

One of the agents tries to open the driver’s side door & then reaches through the window to try to open the door from the inside. A third agent crosses in front of the Honda, as the driver begins to reverse, & clear the area.

🧵cont

Next the Honda moves forward, still trying to clear the area, the agent at the front of the vehicle, standing near the driver’s side headlight, pulls out a gun, aims directly at the driver & fires, the agent continues to shoot as the vehicle moves past him.

The Honda accelerates, colliding with two parked vehicles & a light post, clear to any observer that the driver has lost control [is dead] of the vehicle. The agent who fired walks away & tells other agents to call 911.

#murder

This all has been too disturbing, & worse — it’s occurring too often, too regularly & becoming far too “normal”.

Today I watched several #Trump #SnuffFilms.

I need to step away.

@Nonilex Yeah, it's been a lot, documenting the Trump murders.
@Nonilex Sending hugs. Definitely gotta pay attention to and take care of your own mental health. These are challenging times
@Nonilex you do amazing work. You are one of the better journalists/content creators on this site. As a result, I need you to please take a break. Rest is resistance.
@Nonilex Do what you need to do for yourself. Please take care 💛
@Nonilex

My yearly neurology appointment is the end of the month. Hoping he's willing to increase my number of Xanax refills (over prior years').
@Nonilex #Bellingcat has done a frame by frame analysis of the footage we've all seen, and you can see #JonathonRoss filming the entire encounter. We was filming as he shot #ReneeGood, making his own private snuff film, staring a random mom he decided he'd like to watch die.

@Nonilex Look up, which crimes are marked by "depraved indifference to human life", and you'll know the qualifications of Stephen Miller's Internal Crime Enforcement mob.

#RuleOfLaw #UnseatTheTrumpRegime #DisbandICE #NewElections #VoteThemOut #VoteOfNoConfidence #TrumpsAbuses

@Nonilex That was a car jacking.
@Nonilex ICE has no legal authority to tell citizens what to do. They can fuck all the way off and then keep going.
@Nonilex @LaNaehForaday Trump wrote that "he is recovering in the hospital"!!! The guy got back into his SUV and drove off!
@Nonilex @LaNaehForaday The worse thing is some people will believe anything he says. They refuse to USE THEIR OWN DAMN EYES to make up their own mind. Pretty ffd up.

@Nonilex @LaNaehForaday

Where can I apply to be a 'professional agitator'? What's the pay? What are the hours? Does it offer health insurance?

@Nonilex

Whether she was a pro agitator or not, this is murder.

Thinking of going pro myself!

@Nonilex #dictator trying to gaslight about something already well documented to be nothing like this piece of shit said. Like people don't have eyes to see his Gestapo murdering innocent people in cold blood.

Soon enough he'll be posting "we killed them because we felt like it, suck it losers, you can't touch me". Give it time.

@Nonilex
How about .... getting the alleged perp off the streets in the meantime?
@Nonilex The Federal Bureau of Redaction is more like it.
@Nonilex That's the start of Civil War 2.0, isn't it? Trump attacks the National Guard, other states decide which side they're on and deploy their NG units accordingly...
@Nonilex

Readying the National Guard for any purpose other than evicting ICE seems kind of pointless. Worst case, it makes it quicker and easier for Trump to commandeer them and sic them on Minnesotans.
@Nonilex Is the murder suspect in custody yet?

@r0k

Of course not

@Nonilex

ICE (aka U.S. Gestapo) doesn't need protestors to create violence. They're happy to completely imagine one!

@Nonilex We're way past "Don't fight back, it'll just make it worse!" That's just another way to make sure there are no consequences for the abusers.
@Nonilex And all the "agents" being sent to Minneapolis will do their best to capture (kidnap) and deport as many Somali immigrants as possible.

@Nonilex

I saw a driver moving their car to get out of ICE agents' way (backing up to turn and leave)...no ICE agent in danger at any point.

@Nonilex Loudermilk, Ogles, does what they say go for attacks on capitol police officers?

@Nonilex Even after we all watched George Floyd’s murder, they tried to gaslight us.

Evil people. Abolish ICE, repeal the Patriot Act.

@Nonilex

Wonder who's paying for all this...

@Nonilex

Please don't use their pathetic Orwellian name for that bill.

It's the MAGA Murder Budget Bill.

And if this name wasn't 100% accurate before, it sure as hell is now.

@Nonilex I mean, it seems pretty clear that the shooting was an act of terror.
@Nonilex Noem is the domestic terrorist. But that is the point in a Fascist regime generating Fascist propaganda
@Nonilex "This was an act of domestic terrorism" is a technically accurate statement. Including the word "state" between "domestic" and "terrorism" would solve the glaring lie of omission.

@Nonilex

Listen to the audio.
They did not identify themselves as law enforcement.
They said 'Get Out of the fucking car', language that trained law enforcement would not use.

@Nonilex Not a life threatening situation for the ICE-person at all, she drove away, not towards him or anything. So yes, looks like murder to me too.
