A woman in Minneapolis was shot and killed by federal immigration officers after she attempted to mow them down with her vehicle in what ICE is calling an “act of domestic terrorism.”
The gunfire rang out at East 34th Street and Portland Avenue on Wednesday morning, according to an X post from the City of Minneapolis.
Video at the scene showed a large group of protesters shouting anti-ICE slogans behind yellow police tape, some pelting officers with snowballs.
“Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them — an act of domestic terrorism,” DHS assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
“An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots. He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.”
The incident comes amid the largest-scale deployment of immigration enforcement agents to Minneapolis since the start of the second Trump administration.
Minneapolis Council Member Jason Chavez said on social media platform Bluesky that Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino had responded to the scene. --->READ MORE HERE

Dramatic video purportedly shows the moment an ICE agent opened fire on a 37-year-old woman who attempted to barrel her SUV into the path of an officer in Minneapolis Wednesday morning.
In the footage being widely circulated on social media from varying angles, ICE officers approach a plum-colored Honda Pilot and order the driver out of the vehicle after she blocked the path of their truck.
As one of the agents attempts to open the door, she quickly throws the car into reverse before trying to speed forward in the direction of another agent in her path.
That agent dodges the SUV, swings around the side and fires three shots before the car crashes into a white sedan parked nearby on the side of the street.
Following the gunfire, a woman repeatedly screams “no! no! What the f–k? What the f–k did you do? You’re f–king criminals!”
The deadly shooting comes amid the largest deployment of immigration agents — including some 2,000 officers across several agencies — since the start of President Trump’s second term.
At a news conference following the shooting, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey accused the agent who fired the deadly shots as acting recklessly. --->READ MORE HERE
