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.

#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.”

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.

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.

#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.”

@Nonilex And all the "agents" being sent to Minneapolis will do their best to capture (kidnap) and deport as many Somali immigrants as possible.
