ICE Officer Fatally Shoots Woman in Minneapolis as City Leaders Reject Self-Defense Claim

Conflicting accounts put a sweeping DHS operation under scrutiny as investigators review video evidence.

Overview

  • DHS and President Trump say the driver tried to run over officers and the shooting was defensive, a narrative Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey dismissed after viewing video as false and reckless.
  • Unverified clips show officers approaching a Honda SUV that then moves as an agent fires multiple rounds; police say the 37-year-old driver suffered a head wound and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
  • The FBI and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety have opened investigations, with officials urging the public to remain calm while evidence is examined.
  • Hundreds gathered at the scene to protest and demand ICE leave the city, reflecting anger over expanded immigration enforcement in Minneapolis–St. Paul.
  • In a separate fallout, Hilton removed a Minnesota Hampton Inn from its systems after the property canceled ICE bookings and told DHS it would not host immigration officers.
