An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday as the Trump administration cracks down on the city.
The woman, 37, was shot after allegedly trying to ram officers with her car in an attempt to kill them during ICEs operations in Minneapolis, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the Daily Mail in a statement.
A woman claiming to be the wife of the deceased protestor was caught on video hysterically screaming: Thats my wife, I dont know what to do.
DHS said she weaponized her vehicle and called her actions an act of domestic terrorism, the statement said.
Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey blasted ICEs characterization of the shooting and told them to get the f**k out of Minneapolis.
They are already trying to spin this as an act of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bull****.
