An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a Minneapolis driver on Wednesday in a scene that was all captured on video during the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown on a major American city. Federal officials have the shooting said was an act of self-defense, but that the mayor described it as reckless and unnecessary. The 37-year-old woman was shot in front of a family member during a traffic stop in a snowy residential neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, just a few blocks from some of the oldest immigrant markets and about a mile from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020. Her killing quickly drew a crowd of hundreds of angry protesters. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, while visiting Texas, described the incident as an “act of domestic terrorism” carried out against ICE officers by a woman who “attempted to run them over and rammed them with her vehicle.” “An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot, to protect himself and the people around him,” she said. But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey blasted that characterization as “garbage” and criticized the federal deployment of more than 2,000 officers to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul as part of the immigration crackdown. “What they are doing is not to provide safety in America. What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust,” Frey said, calling on the immigration agents to leave. “They’re ripping families apart. They’re sowing chaos on our streets, and in this case, quite literally killing people.” “They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bullshit,” the mayor said. Frey said he had a message for ICE: “Get the f— out of Minneapolis.” The death of the Minneapolis driver, whose name wasn’t immediately released, was at least the fifth linked to immigration crackdowns. What does video show? Videos taken by bystanders with different vantage points and posted to social media show an officer approaching an SUV stopped across the middle of the road, demanding the driver open the door and grabbing the handle. The Honda Pilot begins to pull forward and a different ICE officer standing in front of the vehicle pulls his weapon and immediately fires at least two shots into the vehicle at close range, jumping back as the vehicle moves toward him. It was not clear from the videos if the vehicle made contact with the officer. The SUV then sped into two cars parked on a curb nearby before crashing to a stop. Witnesses screamed obscenities, expressing shock at what they’d seen. “She was driving away and they killed her,” said resident Lynette Reini-Grandell, who was outdoors recording video on her phone. After the shooting, emergency medical technicians tried to administer aid to the woman. One video showed agents stopping a man who said he was a physician and had asked to check for a pulse. Chief Brian O’Hara briefly described the shooting to reporters. “This woman was in her vehicle and was blocking the roadway on Portland Avenue. … At some point a federal law enforcement officer approached her on foot and the vehicle began to drive off,” the chief said. “At least two shots were fired. The vehicle then crashed on the side of the roadway.” Shooting under investigation The shooting marked a dramatic escalation of the latest in a series of immigration enforcement operations in major cities under the Trump administration. There were calls on social media to prosecute the officer who shot the driver. Commissioner Bob Jacobson of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety said state authorities would investigate the shooting with federal authorities. “Keep in mind that this is an investigation that is also in its infancy. So any speculation about what has happened would be just that,” Jacobson told reporters. The shooting happened in the district of Democratic U.S. Rep.…

CNN By Emma Tucker, Taylor Romine and CNN Staff Minneapolis (CNN) — Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem traveled to Minneapolis Wednesday after an ICE agent fatally shot a woman in the city earlier in the day. Noem defended the agent’s actions, saying the woman had attempted to run an agent over in an act of “domestic terrorism.” “This appears as an attempt to kill or to cause bodily harm to agents, an act of domestic terrorism,” Noem said, adding the ICE agent responded by firing “defensive shots.” The woman has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, according to US Sen. Tina Smith, a Minnesota Democrat. Good’s mother told the Minnesota Star Tribune her daughter lived in the Twin Cities with her partner. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in an earlier news conference said he is preparing the state National Guard for possible deployment after the fatal shooting. Earlier, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey disputed the DHS account of Wednesday’s incident and told ICE agents to “get the f–k out of Minneapolis.” The shooting happened as Minnesota faces an immigration crackdown amid a nationwide enforcement push by the Trump administration. Around 2,000 federal agents were being deployed to Minneapolis, two law enforcement sources told CNN. Wednesday’s fatal shooting has increased tensions in Minneapolis after weeks of strain from immigration enforcement, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said. “I have been worried – not that federal law enforcement activity was happening, but how that enforcement was taking place in the city,” O’Hara told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “And I have specifically said I’ve been worried we would have a tragedy in our community.” He noted that his department, and many police departments around the country, have been trained “with a very, very strong emphasis on de-escalation” to try and prevent officers or civilians from being injured. O’Hara said he is not aware of the injured ICE officer’s identity. He said when he asked about any other injuries at the shooting scene, he was told “only the woman” was hurt, although it’s not immediately clear which agency he got that information from.
