Overview

  • DHS says the driver 'weaponized' her vehicle and tried to run over officers, calling the incident domestic terrorism, and reports that injured officers are expected to recover.
  • Video and eyewitnesses describe the SUV moving away as an officer fired, with the vehicle crashing moments later.
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemned the operation, rejected the self-defense claim, and demanded that ICE leave the city immediately.
  • Local police and federal authorities, including the FBI, have opened an investigation, and Minnesota officials say they are gathering information.
  • The shooting occurred during a surge of roughly 2,000 DHS and ICE personnel tied to immigration and fraud probes in the Twin Cities, and the 37-year-old victim has not been publicly identified.
