ICE agent shoots and kills woman during Minneapolis raid
One person is dead after an ICE officer on a large-scale ⁠immigration operation in Minneapolis shot and killed a woman who allegedly “weaponized” ⁠her vehicle. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot the woman in her vehicle on Wednesday in a residential neighbourhood in Minneapolis, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, ⁠fired defensive shots,” McLaughlin wrote in a post on X. Mayor Jacob Frey alleged the officer “recklessly” shot her, adding immigration agents were “causing chaos in our city.” The shooting marks a dramatic escalation of the latest in a series of immigration enforcement operations in major American cities under the Trump administration. The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul have been on edge since DHS announced on Tuesday it launched the operation with 2,000 agents and officers expected to participate in the crackdown tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents. A large throng of protesters gathered at the scene after Wednesday’s shooting and vented their anger at the local and federal officers there.
