Chaos erupted on Wednesday after ICE fatally shot a rioter who attempted to run over agents in Minneapolis.
Video posted to X shows the moment a female rioter was shot dead as she tried to run over federal agents in an attempt to kill them.
The Department of Homeland Security called in an “act of domestic terrorism.”
Full statement from DHS:
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.
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 alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. The ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.
This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement who are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats.
This is an evolving situation, and we will give the public more information as soon as it becomes available.
Agents deployed tear gas amid the chaos.
The City of Minneapolis confirmed there was an ICE-involved shooting near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue in South Minneapolis.
“Please avoid this area,” they said.
“We are aware of a shooting involving a federal agent at 34th Street and Portland. We are working to confirm additional information, but what we know is that the presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city and making our community less safe,” the City of Minneapolis said.
Corrupt Democrat Governor Tim Walz asked the public to remain calm.
Far-left Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who just last month claimed ICE’s presence in his city would get people shot, demanded ICE leave the city.
“I am aware of a shooting involving an ICE agent at 34th Street & Portland. The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city. We’re demanding ICE to leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities,” Mayor Frey said.
Here is Jacob Frey claiming ICE raids would lead to people getting shot:
Minneapolis Mayor Says ICE Agents May Be Killed if Raids Continue
BREAKING…
One down, thousands to go.
That’s a lot of people for the middle of a work day. Doesn’t anybody work in Minnedishu? Oh. Right. Why would they?
Consequences ....
As usual, the identity of this dead terrorist has not been revealed while her social media accounts are purged.
It is to laugh.
Awesome.. great shooting!!
”Nothing to see here, please keep moving.”
Mayor Frey is going to find out he doesn’t give President Trump orders.
I wonder if that will happen before or after his little city administration is opened up like a soft peanut.
Does it look to you all like she was trying to run over the ICE agents in that video?
The left knows the Somali welfare fraud story is a loser for them. They have shifted the storyline to something that has been successful for them in the past.
This mayor Frey (wanna be somalian) is whining ALL about ICE...what a spineless liberal moonbat....his words are hollow / false / treasonous....he needs to be removed and jailed for insubordination.
I’m not seeing any “ramming.” More like pulling away. Also, ICE doesn’t seem to be stuck as previously reported. It’s probably still justified for other reasons, but this is going to be a big story.
Nope. The agent who fired was already being avoided as he fired. No other agent was in harm’s way.
Katy Perry will probably leave Justin Trudeau for this guy.
Been aware of him since the BLM protests of 2020. He’s a kneeler...
FAFO.
I don’t like the look of this at all.
