Outrage in Minneapolis After ICE Agent Shoots and Kills Woman

An agent of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis, sparking widespread outrage and protests. The incident has led to disagreements between the federal government and local authorities, with Trump claiming the agent acted in self-defense, while the Minneapolis mayor disputes this account. Witnesses report that the woman did not stop despite the agents' commands and that the agent fired at her car window. Representative Ilhan Omar stated that the woman was a legal observer of ICE activities. The Department of Homeland Security has labeled the incident as “domestic terrorism,” a view not shared by the mayor. Video of the incident has leaked and fueled anger on social media.
