"Legal observers are usually volunteers who attend protests to monitor interactions between law enforcement and demonstrators, documenting any confrontations or potential legal violations. Local news reports from across the US in February said immigration activists formed volunteer groups who observe their neighbourhoods to spot undercover ICE agents and vehicles and release social media warnings about these deployments to their neighbours."
"Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez told local media. Videos of Wednesday's incident show a masked ICE agent shoot three times towards an SUV. The car is then seen hurtling out of control and crashing into other parked cars. Multiple angles of the videos filmed by various onlookers went viral on the internet. The onlookers sound terrified, shouting, Shame! at the agent and asking him to stop."
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a woman in her car during an immigration raid in Minneapolis. The incident occurred shortly after 9:30am and prompted police response to reports of gunshots. The woman was acting as a legal observer at protests against immigration enforcement, and volunteer groups monitor ICE activity and warn neighborhoods. Viral videos show a masked ICE agent firing three times toward an SUV, which then crashed into parked cars. Onlookers shouted and pleaded with the agent. Federal and local accounts of the event differ, and the shooting has sparked protests in the city.
