Woman shot and killed by ICE officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Yesterday there was a very tragic shooting of a woman leaving the scene of an Immigration raid/incident . The video clips are very disturbing as she is shot and killed by an officer after she was given conflicting information by two officers . One who told her to leave and another who told her to get out of the car.
She was killed by a third officer who was to the side of the car . I can only advise you not to watch the clip if you feel it might be disturbing . I was able to read a good account of it in the NYT and it definitely looks and reads like she was murdered.
She was a white, US citizen not a target of the raid.

I truly feel like the USA is imploding from the inside out and that Trump is creating fires of danger everywhere.

Another instance of the House thinking maybe they should do something about Trump.

It takes 2/3 of the House to override a veto. A rare occurrence. He is in big trouble if they can get it.

I hope this is the beginning of the end of the Trump administration because the American people turn against this lying thug.

I’m afraid there are lots of people cheering the ICE agent on and rejoicing at the poor woman’s death, probably the same on X but I left it last November. They are probably the minority but it is disturbing to read what they are saying.

Oh yes we'll get a lot of that. Only to be expected with someone like Trump himself weighing in.

This shows Trumps X post as the time.

I've just seen the latest little video-ette of this and the content was that a perfectly respectable-looking (as far as could be seen) man was saying he was a doctor and asking to have a look at the driver - and being refused. Followed by the soldiers lying and saying they were getting their own medics to look at her - but there was no sign of any other medics nearby.

The senate have voted to reduce his powers but according to the news item I listened to even if congress do the same he can just overrule everything. I never realised how much power the president had. And this is someone that has power over all of us in the west, too. It’s terrifying.

Saying she ran over the ICE officer is rubbish She was killed in cold blood for absolutely nothing
There can be no excuses at all
Good grief what an awful place to live since ‘the orange one’ has been in charge

My thoughts are with the children and other loved ones of the victim. A young woman with her whole life ahead of her.
This should be the catalyst to move even some who supported Trump to see what is happening in plain sight.

Fallingstar Thu 08-Jan-26 18:55:54

The ICE murderer appears to move from firing into the front of the car to the side window and fires again when obviously there is no danger to his life. An autopsy should reveal the direction of the bullet and will show that this is murder. It certainly doesn’t look like self defence.

Vance- a preposterous man saying preposterous things.

He is making it up as he goes along. Furious because the media is saying it like it is.

There is no way that he can spin this.

Delila Thu 08-Jan-26 18:50:20

Did that dreadful person just walk away (obviously completely uninjured) without lifting a finger to help the poor woman he’d just shot?

How can anyone, Trump included, defend that thug and claim that he was acting in self defence and lucky to be alive after being hit by the victim’s car?

Vance busy lying.

LemonJam Thu 08-Jan-26 18:26:07

Good to hear you do want the ICE officer to be held to account Oreo and I shouldn't think anyone wants to be a dead or injured citizen. It was good in this incident there were so many members of the public who didn't just stand by to let the officers get on with their jobs and recorded their actions and shared the videos on line.

any doubts about Jewish people being nervous about ICE agents should read this page Its the AI report backed by s series of individual reliable reports.

Lots of footage on the BBC news showing the actual footage you have all seen above, and the demonstrations in Minnesota. Crowds are growing at the spot where it happened and more protests across the city.
The Minnesota Mayor has given public statements against what happened and the was the FBI are being used against local investigators.

I'm very, very angry and cannot understand any apologists.

Good report in the Guardian

I think the bets are odds on that Trump will attempt to cancel the mid-terms

And for those asking who is behind this?

It is all in Project 2025.

I don't know yet whitewave, I don't see who they were looking to pick up in any of the news reports. But they have repeatedly taken parents from cars in school pick up lines. All Minnesota public schools have been canceled for today and tomorrow for the safety of their students and staff.

ICE are vicious thugs, and yes there are some Jan 6ers in there. These people seem to be psychopaths who enjoy harming people and then refusing them medical care. My opinion of course.

Smileless - the only good news right now is that the House just bypassed Johnson to secure a vote on the health care subsidies and now there is massive bi-partisan support against Trump starting WWIII. Congress is now appearing to want to regain control of their war powers.

I don't think that will help the ICE situation, but it is nice to see them finally pull their heads our of their orifices for a short stint. Hopefully that is the direction they keep heading.

Trump knows he is in trouble. He has mentioned it the last week or so, about being impeached if the GOP doesn't win 2026. He then started talking about cancelling the election. Hypothetically of course. hmm

"That’s why I said earlier that you don’t mess with them, or the police there. Let them get on with their jobs and don’t interfere is the best advice".

Personally I don't agree we should just let ICE officers " get on with their jobs" if this is what they do and the outcome- dead citizens. I'll just agree to differ with you on that and trust that the ICE officer in this incident and Homeland Security is held to account.

Well, I for one would just let them get on with their jobs as I don’t want to be a dead citizen or an injured one either.Of course I hope the officer will be held to account too, so we don’t differ on that.
There may be more than meets the eye to this….if so it will come out.

westendgirl Thu 08-Jan-26 17:57:10

Because they think they can go everywhere, There does not seem to have been any censure at any time.
Because they know the orange one will support them.
Because no one can stop them
and so it goes. What does it remind you of ?
Smileless , yes wouldn't this be wonderful if it was the beginning of the downfall.

Whitewavemark2 Thu 08-Jan-26 17:49:02

Why did they go into the schools?

Magenta8 Thu 08-Jan-26 17:48:45

Shocking, these murderous thugs are out of control and there is plenty of filmed evidence to show what really happened. I don't think there is any film of an ICE operative being harmed or to support the claim that the woman was obstructing the operatives. Both would appear to be false claims and fake news.

Whitewavemark2 Thu 08-Jan-26 17:48:31

Just watching the Minnesota Governor. It is unbelievable that Minnesota is now cut out of the investigation.

Calling for peaceful civil disobedience rather than violence which is what Trump supporters want, to use it as an excuse to put more troops on the ground.

Maremia Thu 08-Jan-26 17:37:30

Are they saying that she is guilty because she drove 'straight'?
I would suggest she drove 'straight' because she was already dead.

Maremia Thu 08-Jan-26 17:34:54

Absolutely agree imaround, this is for a Jury to decide.
