    A woman who was shot by an ICE agent Wednesday morning has died, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

    In a statement, Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said “rioters” blocked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with a car and allegedly tried to run them over, something she called “an act of domestic terrorism.”

    Literally couldn’t muster up a condolence or even a prayer to the victims family.

    To hell with these people.

  2. This is what a lot of your fellow Americans wanted. Unbelievable. It was unbelievable in 2015 to be honest. There are no longer words for how dark this is.

  3. Conservatives/MAGA would still say ICE is only targeting illegals.

    Someone has to be really living under a rock (and have their brain mushed by that rock) to deny how brutal and disgusting this ICE goonism is.

    This is a murder, authorized by US government on its own citizens. We all know what kind of hateful, racist, disgusting vermin are being recruited to ICE.

    Fuck ICE! Fuck Trump! Fuck Trump admin!

  4. calling this a response to domestic terrorism is such double speak it has my head spinning. and now it has escalated that the perceived threat from the possibility that a vehicle be used at some point as a weapon can lead to immediate use of lethal force. can’t even trust traffic stops now if ICE is involved, let alone other law enforcement agencies who support them

    The comments on news stories for this i am seeing from republicans are heinous. “Mess with ICE pay the price” type shit. Republicans continue to show they shouldnt be allowed in civilized society

  6. MAGA lives for this kind of depravity. Stephen Miller is an embodiment of the MAGA mentality, like if you gave Asmongold a Cabinet position. There’s no room for old guard and establishment Dems. Strongly worded letters and condemnations mean nothing.

  7. It might actually get their attention, the lady was white and potentially of child-bearing age, which to these troglodytes means a horrible injustice was done here. If it was someone’s elderly abuela it would be medals all around, but what if it had been their lily white daughter Brayhgxlee?

  8. Rough reading the article when the videos tell a different story. If the Gestapo are going to claim they fear for their lives, we need to give them a reason to do so.

  9. The same people that are outraged that Ashli Babbitt – an actual traitor – was shot in the face will be cheering this on and likely start a GoFundMe for the ice agent

  10. Not a coincidence to me this happens in the same city they’re circlejerking about fraud. They’re hoping this causes a riot to add to the media spin while we simultaneously steal oil from a sovereign nation and continue to plow through ending NATO

  11. A federal immigration officer shot and killed a person in Minneapolis on Wednesday during an enforcement operation, the Department of Homeland Security said.

    The shooting came as the Trump administration intensified a promised crackdown on illegal immigration in Minnesota.

    The office of Senator Tina Smith, Democrat of Minnesota, described the person who was shot as the wife of a prominent activist, and Representative Ilhan Omar, a Democrat whose congressional district includes the shooting scene, described the person as a “legal observer.”

    Several of the state’s top Democrats called on federal immigration agents to leave the city, accusing them of sowing chaos. Federal officials have defended the crackdown in Minneapolis as a necessary response to illegal immigration and widespread fraud in state social service systems.

    Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota said in a statement that he had been informed of the shooting involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which took place in a residential neighborhood in South Minneapolis. He asked people to remain calm.

    Homeland Security officials said the shooting happened as agents were conducting “targeted operations” and were confronted by protesters.

    Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for D.H.S., said in a statement that a woman had “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them.”

    The federal government’s description of the encounter could not immediately be verified independently.

  12. DHS keep claiming that the woman was trying to use her vehicule as a ram where the ice guy where out of the way and the woman was going on the OTHER WAY to them

    Don’t forget ICE shot and killed a man in Chicago while attempting to kidnap him as well.

  14. Watch the alternate angle for all those ICE-supporting racists and nazis that are trying to justify this as necessary. Her vehicles tires are literally angling AWAY from the officer that shot her as she was CLEARLY trying to drive away from him. He murdered her because she was trying to leave not because he felt unsafe.

    In the video you can clearly see an agent(?) on the right hand side of the car step back from the vehicle. On the left hand side, the vehicle was not that close to the agent. She was turning the car away from the agent and he absolutely could have stepped even further away from the vehicle as the person on the other side did. Instead the agent chose to shoot the driver. There is no justification for violence here. As well, if he were truly in harms way, shooting the driver of a moving vehicle that is supposedly driving toward you doesn’t seem like a wise thing to do.

  16. This ICE agent will sleep like a baby tonight safe in the knowledge that Trump does not consider crimes in the name of white supremacy to be crimes at all.

    This is the Kyle Rittenhouse path to stardom.

  17. The fact that ICE is already calling the woman they murdered a “domestic terrorist,” despite pretty clear video evidence to the contrary, is really an insult to our collective intelligence. The truth doesn’t matter to these people, only how hard they can push their BS narrative.

  18. can we protest??? this is insane & idk what to do. but i’m so livid & i feel like we all are now.

    The ICE agent **created his own exigent circumstances**. The vehicle was being used as a **means of escape**, not as a weapon. Deadly force was **not justified**.

    At the time shots were fired, the agent could have simply **stepped to his right** to avoid the vehicle. There was no imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury. Shooting into a fleeing, unarmed vehicle under these circumstances is something **most trained law enforcement officers know is not lawful**.

    Courts across the country have consistently held that **flight alone does not justify deadly force**. An officer must face an immediate and unavoidable threat — not a situation of their own making.

    This constitutes an **unreasonable seizure under the Fourth Amendment**, and the use of deadly force here was **excessive and unnecessary**.

    For those saying this is “standard procedure,” it isn’t. Here are some relevant cases:

    **•** ***Scott v. Harris*** **(2007)** – Even here, the Supreme Court made clear that fleeing alone doesn’t justify deadly force; the ruling hinged on extreme danger to the public.
    **•** ***Gonzalez v. City of Anaheim*** **(9th Cir. 2014)** – Shooting into a fleeing, unarmed vehicle was ruled objectively unreasonable; no qualified immunity.
    **•** ***Mattos v. Agarano*** **(9th Cir. 2011)** – Firing at a car trying to flee a DUI stop was excessive force.
    **•** ***Estate of Cherry v. City of Hamilton*** **(6th Cir. 2018)** – Shooting at a slowing, fleeing van was unjustified as a matter of law.
    **•** ***Baynes v. Cleland*** **(9th Cir. 2001)** – A fleeing car is not automatically a deadly threat.
    **•** ***Perea v. Baca*** **(9th Cir. 2002)** – Deadly force against an unarmed fleeing suspect was unconstitutional.

    Fleeing ≠ deadly threat.
    Creating danger ≠ justification to shoot.

  20. We’re at 1984 levels of f****d when this is called domestic terrorist and Jan 6th is a peaceful protest.

    They killed a US citizen in cold blood. I knew this was going to happen eventually. ICE agents seem extremely incompetent

  22. That is called murder. That guy had no reason to step out in front of her car while she’s engaged with the ice agents that are on her driver side. She probably never even saw the ice agent that appeared out of nowhere in front of her vehicle as she started slowly pulling away. Ridiculous!
    RIP young lady.
