BREAKING: One Dead After ICE-Involved Shooting in Minneapolis
A woman is dead following a shooting involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
ICE agents were conducting operations in Minneapolis when rioters attempted to block their path, according to the local news outlet FOX 9. The woman was driving her vehicle when she was shot and subsequently crashed, according to witness reports and federal law enforcement.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the woman was attempting to run over ICE agents “in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.” An ICE officer fired shots in self-defense at the vehicle, killing the driver, according to the agency’s X account.
However, witnesses denied the DHS account of the incident to local news, telling FOX 9 that ICE agents were attempting to enter the woman’s vehicle when one of them opened fire. One witness told FOX 9 that the vehicle was not moving toward ICE agents when the shooting occurred.
ICE officers were injured in the incident but are expected to make a full recovery, DHS reports.
A video posted to social media by ABC 5 Eyewitness News Minneapolis appears to show the incident.
