A federal agent shot and killed a Minneapolis motorist when she allegedly tried to run over law enforcement officers during an immigration crackdown in the city, authorities said Wednesday.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot the woman in her vehicle in a residential neighborhood in Minneapolis, Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

Video posted online showed the vehicle crashed in a residential neighborhood. The shooting drew throngs of angry protesters to the scene in an area that is the latest target of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

There was a large presence of federal and local officers, yellow police tape and cars that had been in a crash in the residential neighborhood. Gregory Bovino, a senior U.S. Customs and Border Patrol official who has been the face of crackdowns in Los Angeles, Chicago and elsewhere, was among the group.

“We are aware of a shooting involving federal law enforcement near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue. Please avoid this area,” the city government said on X.

In a scene similar to the Los Angeles and Chicago crackdowns, bystanders didn't hold back in venting their anger, blowing whistles, taunting the federal agents.

“Shame! Shame! Shame!” and “ICE out of Minnesota!” they loudly chanted from behind the police tape, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

After the shooting, Mayor Jacob Frey said immigration agents were “causing chaos in our city.”

“We are demanding ICE leave the city and state immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities," Frey said on social media.

The area where the shooting occurred is a modest neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, just a few blocks from some of the oldest immigrant markets in the area and a mile from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020.

“We’ve been trying to live life as fully as possible in light of the fear and anxiety that we feel,” said the Rev. Hierald Osorto, pastor at St. Paul’s-San Pablo Lutheran Church, which has a predominantly Latino congregation in the area.

The Immigration Defense Network, a coalition of groups serving immigrants in Minnesota, held a training session Tuesday night for about 100 people who are willing to hit the streets to monitor the federal enforcement.

“I feel like I'm an ordinary person, and I have the ability do something so I need to do it,” Mary Moran told KMSP-TV.

The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that it had launched an extraordinary immigration enforcement operation, with 2,000 agents and officers expected in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area for a crackdown tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents.

Definitely sounds like after two failed marriages with men she was ready to try a new way. The move to Minneapolis, and away from her family, sounds like it was part of a reinvention after a disastrous second marriage. The suicide of the second husband makes me think some really volatile shit and messy shit made her eager to change the status quo. Who knows if it would have been for better or worse, because I know nothing about the circumstances.

do we have a timeline on the second marriage?
did the guy leave her and then kill himself?
or did she leave the guy and he killed himself later?
or did he kill himself while they were still together and that ended the marriage?

that second husband was in the air force for 14 years so him claiming PTSD might actually have some merit. if he ended up killing himself eventually that's further proof that it probably was real and serious, not just malingering.
being married and having a young child with a partner who is a total mental wreck like that can absolutely fuck someone up.

highly crowded area + a bitch thats blocking the road driving crazy is just unsafe man, its a hard call in that situation. Just watch any body cam video with a big crowd of niggers chimping out and 1 or 2 cops trying to figure out what the fuck to do, that shit makes me sweat watching.

Am I missing some video footage? The area wasn’t crowded. I think the lack of multiple video footage indicates this wasn’t some high traffic area or packed with people.

From the video it looks pretty desolate, except for all the Feds. The wife is just sitting alone crying with the dog after the shooting with nobody in sight. Somebody said someone living in the neighborhood came out of his house after hearing the commotion, said he was some sort medical professional, and offered to render aid to the victim and was told no and ambulance is on the way.

It seems like it was a typical ICE sweep and they decided to interfere and be a roadblock. This wasn’t some rowdy protest shit with hundreds of randos agitating and screaming.

The officers who came to the driver's side door were there to back up the officers who were already there, in the other car, which SHE WAS PHYSICALLY BLOCKING THEM FROM DOING WITH HER CAR. Her companion (if i understand correctly) was meanwhile having a phone duel with the officer who eventually shoots. I know that my trips to drop my kid off at school always involve parking myself horizontally across the road, getting out of the car, and then shoving my phone in the face of federal agents, while waving at other agents to just move along instead of staying to assist the other officers.

ZogBots good when kill nigger or lefty white woman, but ZogBot bad if not obey America First!

>people fighting for my side = good
>people fighting for the enemy side = bad
what exactly is supposed to be controversial or hypocritial about liking your allies and disliking your enemies?

 

[Mola Ram]

Yes of course, the next time you try and motion another driver to move, they have the right to blow your brains out for trying to give them commands.

You don't get to wave off the cops when they've ordered you to get out of your vehicle, you addled dipshit.

Hey, remind me what Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus Christ's most devoted followers' occupation was?

This is what I meant when I said the cognitive dissonance in this thread is amazing, you are quite literally regurgitating the lies of the Republican Party (Trump, Vance, Noem, etc), the people actively in fucking charge, yet you don't see the irony in your post.

As we all know, immigration agents (who aren't police officers btw) are all scared little forest does who can legally murder you at the slightest motion that startles them. Even if that motion was clear, understandable, and happened literal minutes before they decided to shoot you.

Cool, anyway do you reckon when the bullets ripped through the bones in her face that she died instantly, or do you suppose maybe there were a few minutes of agonizing pain after?

They had successfully beaten friend/enemy distinction out of the right and are malding we're getting it back.

Her last thoughts were “AHHHHH BULLETS HURRT AHHHH” before sliding into the netherworld, where her dead husband in hell is laughing at her being a new arrival.

Says someone who is actively lying to justify killing an ICE agent because big brother told you to do so.
Again, you are literally not believing your eyes and ears and come up whatever cope to justify this.
So, why are you pro murder?

Screeching Karen interfering with law enforcement = enemy.
Anyone potentially running over another person deserves to be shot dead in self defense.

Simple as that.

It’s okay to kill white women now because they’re race traitors who won’t fuck me. I’ll keep winning by living vicariously through jackboots murdering white women and molesting children because they’re communists standing on the wrong side of my political views. I support ICE because I believe they’re just like me in that we both share a sub 100 IQ thus meeting recruitment requirements.

 

[The Dude]

I'm just saying he should have fired two warning shots, re-evaluated, and then shot the car in the tire.

You NEVER fire warning shots. EVER. Warning shots are Hollywood bullshit, because they use blanks and it makes for exciting entertainment. In the real world you only ever discharge your firearm if you feel there is a clear and immediate threat to your life or the life of someone else, and if that is the case you shoot to neutralize the person causing that threat. And you keep shooting until you are certain that person is no longer a threat. Firing warning shots is stupid and dangerous because those bullets have to go somewhere, and if you're not certain of where those bullets are going to hit then you don't fire. It's basic firearms safety: keep your finger off the trigger until you are on target and ready to fire, never point your firearm at anything you aren't prepared to destroy, always be sure of what your target is AND what is behind and around that target.

And cars can still move with a flat tire. They can still move with all their tires flat. They can still move like that at a speed fast enough to kill or seriously cripple. Law enforcement rarely if ever shoot out tires anymore because of the threat to bystanders similar to firing warning shots, and because if the car loses control it can cause unwanted damage or death to property and bystanders.

People who advocate for warning shots or shooting to wound are fucking morons who know nothing about firearms beyond what they've seen in stupid movies and television. That shit ain't real life, and people get killed or injured doing that shit.

Fucking Leftoid retards. The CCP still massacred over ten thousand students, and Tienanmen Tank Man got black bagged and disappeared from his home shortly thereafter.

The cognitive dissonance in this thread is truly amazing.

That's because we're all a group of random anonymous autists on the Internet and we all have different opinions. Some people are, shock horror, trolling and/or just outright lying. We are not a hive mind.

This isn't Reddit. I know a lot of people want this to be a gay wignat anti-Reddit where all agree, but that is worse than Reddit.

Stop being a fag. Sit back, put your feet up, and enjoy some shitlib getting her face turned into a canoe.

Imagine the panic she must have felt in the millisecond between seeing the hero cop draw his service weapon and having her skull shredded to pieces by its magnum load. Do you think she pissed herself? I've heard that happens pretty often

Hey dude, Pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

 

[Croaking Spider]

if she had just dropped her son off, why was she blocking the road with her car?
also, how could she even have contact with her son if she abandoned him to become a dyke?

Not only that, she was travelling the wrong way down a one-way road. People want to play dumb and act like this was just some poor widdle white woman who panicked at a random police checkpoint and not someone who has been actively involved in interfering with ICE on multiple occasions. She knew exactly what she was doing, she just incorrectly assumed her affluent white liberal lesbian privilege was going to save her again. And it might have, had the officer involved not been dragged by a car in this exact same type of incident six months prior that lead to injuries requiring 33 stitches. She played stupid games with the wrong officer and, in turn, won herself a silly little prize.

R.I.P. bozo, good fucking riddance, press F to spit. Always kill a traitor before an enemy, Jimbo.

Dude, you gotta get over that minor loss in the stock market. If you hold this much of a grudge over like 100$ - I can’t wait too see the next democratic administration where you place a put on NIKE or something and lose your remaining 2k. Going to be like Hitler x1000

She probably filled her drawers immediately after death. That happens sometimes.

She definitely voided her bowels when her brain was vaporized.
