"We've dreaded this moment since the early stages of this ice presence in Minneapolis. Not only is this a concern that we've had internally, we've been talking about it. They are not here to cause safety in this city. What they are doing is not to provide safety in America. What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust. They're ripping families apart. They're sowing chaos on our streets, and, in this case, quite literally killing people."
"The shooting occurred earlier in the day on Wednesday as federal agents continued to increase their presence in the city. According to a statement released by ICE, the woman was one of these violent rioters who weaponized her vehicle by trying to run over an agent. The statement then called it an act of domestic terrorism. Footage of the incident, however, appeared to contradict those claims."
A 37-year-old woman was shot and killed during heightened federal agent activity in Minneapolis. ICE characterized the woman as a violent rioter who weaponized her vehicle in an attempted attack on an agent and labeled the incident domestic terrorism. Video footage of the encounter appeared to contradict ICE's account. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey forcefully condemned the federal characterization as false, calling the shooting a reckless use of power that resulted in death. The mayor asserted that the increased federal presence has caused chaos, distrust, family separations, and street violence rather than providing public safety.
