“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said.

Walz says calm down but this is fully riot worthy Minnesota
Senator Tina Smith has the right idea
A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.
ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety
Thing is that ice murdered a guy in franklin park illinois and nothing was done. I agree this is riot worthy but we do need the state law enforcement to side with the state citizens and not federal criminals.

The United States Department of Homeland Security labeled on Wednesday the incident that took place in Minnesota as “an act of domestic terrorism.”
In a social media post, the authorities said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were in the area conducting targeted operations “when rioters began blocking” them. “One of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them,” it was further written in the statement.
The department detailed that one of the ICE officers opened fire in order to protect his own life and the lives of his colleagues, killing the alleged perpetrator. Meanwhile, some ICE officers were reported to have been injured. “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,” Homeland Security stated.

They posted the video to BlueSky. No need to go to the Nazi bar

Sounds like they describe the incident accurately for once, although I would point out that this is just one sub-incident of a wider campaign of “blue terror” being waged by Trump’s brownshirts against the American people.
Which judge, and which court!?
Name and shame the fucker, it’s public info. Don’t provide them any protection by letting them hide behind the faceless federal bench.
The executions will continue no matter how much you protest.
The problem is that going from civil resistance to actively shooting ICE means dealing with paratroopers. That means a LOT more dead.
Why aren’t you guys calling them concentration camps yet?
Surround the facility and arrest its management.
Far easier said than done when its full of heavily armed Men who support the management and have the support of most police
It’s in a different part of the metro from the current actions taking place, and that facility has had protests since October. It is heavily guarded. We aren’t getting in there.

TropicalDingdongMerc was livestreaming while it happened. I popped in when I heard the chatter.

They’ve moved positions and are around the block. Chat is saying plastic shovel, as in, a snow shovel, and that a child was shot as well. But its early, reporting will change.
Motherfuckers shot a fucking child?! Are you fucking kidding me?
Are you at all surprised?
Every video I see of someone confronting them peacefully shows a guy with a rifle dressed up as a GI joe looking terrified.
I couldn’t find anything else about it when I looked last night, but shooting a child would be a very ballsy move to up the ante when tensions are this fucking high. Not saying I couldn’t see it happening, but more of a bewildered, oh really motherfucker? You think you’re ready to go there?
Their goal is to provoke a civil war, but they can’t just start a civil war. They need us to start it because they need some percentage of the working class part of the country to stay asleep and keep pretending that the world isn’t burning around them.
I could be wrong but I think shooting Renee Good and actually being called out by the media for releasing a video that proved it was straight up murder when they thought it proved their point, inadvertently made at least a crack in that base. The ones who are so brainwashed by hero worship. They want to believe so badly that even if their authoritarian parent murders others, they’ll always be safe.
The administration cracks down because they want to agitate and create fear in their opposition, but they definitely don’t want their base to wake up and realize their false sense of security is what has been driving them to pretend “this is fine.” It’s the comforting delusion of normality, and the belief that as long as they’re good little boys and girls, as long as they obey, as long as they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear. They believe daddy is only doing what needs to be done to keep his family safe. When others don’t live up to daddy’s standards or they refuse to comply with daddy’s rules, they have to face the “natural” consequences, but daddy would never hurt them.
Reminds me of one of my favorite batshit insane quotes by one of my least favorite IRL villains (who to her credit, allegedly woke up and realized what daddy was capable of) "If we’re going to dance, let’s all dance in the sunlight."
A man was shot in the leg Wednesday night during a federal immigration enforcement operation in north Minneapolis.
Witnesses say a series of gunshots followed a car chase and foot chase involving federal agents. The Department of Homeland Security said an agent fired “defensive shots” that hit a man in the leg
Department of Homeland Security said an agent fired “defensive shots”
So this basically means that any agency that wants to has permission to attack American citizens even if they congressional charter doesn’t include any kind of civilian law enforcement?
The Department of Homeland Security is apparently doing fraud investigations now. Not the FBI. Because this is a fascist investigation so you need fascist foot soldiers to do it. As compromised as the FBI is, they might follow the law.

I would have thought for massive fraud you’d send in an army of accountants not gestapo
Turns out all that was available was one poorly schooled child and an army of knock-off Nazis.
All the instructions I’ve seen online say those pepper spray cans are intended for use 6-12 feet away (depending on brand), and absolutely no closer than 4 feet to minimize risk of permanent eye damage (from pressure) and blowback. The fucker in the photo seems to be trying to cause blindness.
Looking at the DoJ Federal Prisons guidelines they seem to treat federal prisoners with more care and concern than free citizens (if you dare protest): https://www.bop.gov/policy/progstat/5576_004.pdf
Your main link leads to an article titled, “Live: JD Vance defends ICE operations in Minnesota visit as state officials decry ‘misinformation’”
It doesn’t match the article you archived, either.
It’s now an article about how ICE wrestled a man to the ground on a Minneapolis street this morning then shot him several times in the chest.
The news site must be reusing the URL.
The Department of Homeland Security said an agent fired “defensive shots” that hit a man in the leg.
Coming from most people, “I shot in self-defense” would have a particular meaning and we could investigate to determine whether someone is saying it truly. But what meaning does it have coming from these heavily armed knuckleheads who view everyone as an enemy and a threat? In their world view, every shot is defensive if they fired it, because they feel permanently threatened and embattled.

Why is ICE even armed? Maybe, and I’m just throwing it out here, but maybe immigration violations shouldn’t be worthy of a death sentence? And if an officer is in danger, maybe just de-escalate and go away until you can pull in trained personnel to handle potentially violent interactions.
Copaganda. I mean this is true of like 99% of al law enforcement activities, not just immigration related. But the American people are so indoctrinated into supporting these paramilitary goons that they accept it as normal.
ICE has no recruits except the “give me a reason to shoot” crowd who are scared all the time. Remember that one ICE age t who pissed his pants?
I don’t think I’ve seen that, do you have a link? I’d really like to 😀
Probably this guy:
Waiting for the “It was totally self defense so I shot her in the freakin’ face a bunch of times.” Fucking cowards. I hope you all get the brazen bull.
DHS released this as an official statement:
Of course… there’s video online of the incident already, and naturally it shows that that statement is complete horseshit (not that anybody had any doubts about that). This will probably get taken down soon, but here (NSFL):
https://xcancel.com/i/status/2008961959731859757
The comments on that video are disgusting.
Yup. X is a cesspit of Nazi pieces of shit. Nazis gonna Nazi.
I bet the same people saying the shooting was justified also believe Ashley Babitt was just peacefully touring the capital.
Video is posted to Bluesky. The agent walks up to her car window and starts shooting almost immediately. One through the windshield the others through the driver’s side window.
Dhs already did that. Way ahead of you.
They straight up executed that lady. Her wheels were clearly turning right, away from the thug. This will only embolden me more. There must be retribution for this!
ICE murdered someone for no reason
The more they keep getting away with shit like this, the closer we get to them being used as a full Gestapo force. These fuckers are already murdering bystanders and kidnapping citizens. When they start getting filled with lead by the average American, no one will be surprised.
Cops often deliberately place themselves bodily in front of cars to justify escalation of force.
Calling it now. Official ICE position is going to be:
“We have no idea who this person is, we never heard of them, they probably aren’t a real ICE agent, but even if they are this was a totally justified shooting.”
No, they’re admitting it’s an ICE agent. The lie is that the woman was a domestic terrorist trying to kill them.
What is his name?
What a funny way for the headline to say the feds shot and killed a person.
News outlets: skipping the active voice whenever police or motorists kill since 1903.
Defector has done it best
I can’t get the video to load…
