US: ICE Officer Shoots and Kills Woman

An officer with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency shot and killed a 37-year-old woman during an operation in Minneapolis. The incident occurred while the Trump administration has intensified law enforcement operations in the city. The Mayor of Minneapolis and Senator Tina Smith condemned the shooting and called for ICE to withdraw from the city, arguing that its presence is causing chaos. ICE, for its part, claims the officer fired to protect his life and the lives of his colleagues after they were attacked by protesters and a driver attempted to hit them with a car, characterizing the event as an act of domestic terrorism. The incident is under investigation.
