Minneapolis ICE shooting updates: Suburban mom revealed as victim as family break silence

A woman claiming to be the wife of a protester shot dead in her car by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent screamed in anguish moments after watching her die.

The 37-year-old woman was shot three times in the face at a protest in Minneapolis on Wednesday after she ignored ICE agents’ demands to get out of her car, reversed it and tried to drive off.

ICE claimed she deliberately drove her burgundy SUV at agents but witnesses dispute that and Mayor Jacob Frey called it ‘bulls**t’.

Video shared online captured a witness speaking to a woman who claimed she was her wife and they had a six-year child.

‘That’s my wife, I don’t know what to do,’ she wailed hysterically.

The man filming the video asked if she was with the woman who was killed, and if she had any friends who could help.

‘That’s my wife… [unintelligible]… I have a six-year-old at school… we’re new here we don’t have anyone,’ she replied.

A 37-year-old Minneapolis woman was shot and killed by ICE agents less than one mile from where George Floyd was killed in 2020.

Floyd was killed police officer Derek Chauvin, who used his knee to pin the black man’s neck to the pavement for almost 10 minutes.

Members of the FBI investigate the car which a Minneapolis woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent.

The car was pictured with a children’s toy in the backseat.

At the time of the incident, a woman claiming to be the wife of the protester shot dead in her car by ICE screamed in anguish moments after watching her die.

‘That’s my wife… [unintelligible]… I have a six-year-old at school… we’re new here we don’t have anyone,’ she cried.

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar reacted to the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis by ICE agents.

‘I’m following news of a reported shooting of a legal observer by ICE agents in South Minneapolis,’ she wrote on X.

‘I’ll continue to monitor the situation closely and will update as soon as I receive information.

‘ICE must stop terrorizing our communities and leave our city.’

Governor Tim Walz has activated the state’s Emergency Operations Center after a woman was killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis on Wednesday, Fox 9 reported.

He is set to meet with public safety officials and hold a news conference at 2.15pm CT.

The Honda Pilot driven by the 37-year-old woman shot dead by ICE agents is being towed from the scene, Fox 9 reported.

The outlet said that the SUV was hoisted onto a flatbed tow truck by law enforcement at the same time a large number of state patrol troopers arrived at the scene.

Aidan Perzana, 31, told NBC News he saw the confrontation between a Minneapolis woman and ICE agents before she was shot dead.

‘One was right by the passenger door and one by the driver’s side. There was clearly commotion. I couldn’t hear what anybody was saying,’ Perzana said.

‘Then a third person approached the vehicle from the driveway side and started pulling quite hard on the door handle two or three times, at which the vehicle reversed a few feet and then started going forward.’

He added, ‘When she started driving forward, there were, I think, three shots from the person who was originally by the driver’s side door, not the person who had been pulling on the handle.

‘There was plenty of space between the officers at that point for the vehicle to make it through.’

Over 2,000 ICE agents had been deployed to the Twin Cities – Minneapolis and St. Paul – for the ‘largest immigration enforcement operation ever.’

‘The largest DHS operation ever is happening right now in Minnesota,’ the Department of Homeland Security wrote on social media Tuesday.

‘President Trump and Secretary Noem have rallied DHS law enforcement personnel to keep Americans safe and ERADICATE fraud.’

The government planned to send about 2,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and officers to Minnesota, a US official told the Associated Press.

Florida Congressman Randy Fine called for the ICE agent who shot dead a woman in Minneapolis to be arrested.

‘This scumbag POS [piece of s**t] should be arrested right now,’ he wrote on X.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called Homeland Security’s description of the deadly shooting of a woman in Minneapolis ‘propaganda.’

‘I’ve seen the video. Don’t believe this propaganda machine,’ he wrote on X.

‘The state will ensure there is a full, fair, and expeditious investigation to ensure accountability and justice.’

A woman has been shot and killed by ICE in what Homeland Security said was an act of ‘domestic terrorism’ – but local authorities dispute the agency’s narrative as the mayor tells the agency to leave immediately.

The woman, 37, was shot after allegedly trying to ram officers with her car ‘in an attempt to kill them’ during ICE’s operations in Minneapolis, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the Daily Mail in a statement.

DHS said she ‘weaponized her vehicle’ and called her actions an ‘act of domestic terrorism,’ the statement said.

Mayor Jacob Frey gave an extraordinary message to ICE just hours after a woman was shot dead inside a car by federal agents in Minneapolis.

The democratic politician told ICE: ‘Get the f**k out of Minneapolis.’

‘We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is safety and you are doing exactly the opposite.’
