MINNEAPOLIS, MN (January 7, 2026)(CNBNews)–A confortation in Minneapolis between a woman and a federal ICE agent ended tragically with the woman being shot and killed.
According to a spokesman for ICE the woman allegedly tried to run over the agent. She was shot, said Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin when she allegedly tried to run over law enforcement officers during an immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot the woman in her vehicle in a residential neighborhood in Minneapolis, spokeswoman McLaughlin said in a statement.
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, reported POLITICO.
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.
