Woman shot and killed by ICE officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Also you can’t say they should be given orders not to shoot anyone, it isn’t the Cotswolds where immigration go in the US and very many people are armed and prepared to use those arms against anyone trying to arrest them.
We have to remember that the US is very different to the UK.

Lemonjam The ICE officer didn’t think she was an illegal immigrant, that wasn’t why he fired.

A female ICE officer said that the woman who was shot had been obstructing them and shouting all day…I have no idea if that’s true but she was certainly blocking the road with her car.
Everyone knows what the US police and ICE are like so any obstruction of them is foolhardy.Nobody deserves to die for protesting and it’s happened several times there through the nerves and trigger happy gun carrying authorities, usually police.There will be an investigation am sure, but meanwhile I hope that citizens there will steer clear of these raids.
Btw they aren’t going after Jewish people, that’s nonsense.

Who is behind it? Stephen Miller seems to be a strong influence just now.

I wonder if any of these ICE agents are 'patriots' from the Jan 6th assault?

Shocking and worrying for all communities.

When were these ICE operatives recruited and what training have they been given? Was Trump planning all of this during his time out of office? He surely can’t be thinking up everything he’s doing by himself ( or does he plan everything when he’s playing golf?). Who else is behind it all?

Apparently after they killed this American a citizen, they headed over to a local High School and caused a ruckus, including spraying tear gas on them.

High school student are aged 14-18 in the US.

Yes the way we can see a US ICE officers shooting a white, blonde, woman who is an American citizen (they never checked), at close range, several times, when she has not committed any offence, is neither impeding or blocking the icy road and is also driving away from said ICE officer is "bad' Oreo.

There is not excuse for US ICE officers to be making such "rash decisions" as this officer did. They need to be trained and given orders not to shoot at anyone. They are immigration officers not police men. There is no law that I am aware of that provides jurisdiction for anyone to be shot merely for suspicion of being an illegal immigrant. ICE Officers also, if they have shot someone, and their victim is bleeding to such an extent their blood is in the snow alongside their crashed car ( as a result of the ICE officer's shot) should be trained to stay with their victim, immediately call 111 themselves, check for breathing, give III call operator information about shot victim's presentation and take instructions on any potential life saving first aid that can be given whilst help is on the way. That is instead of leaving their shot victim, calmly walking away in the opposite direction and drawing your face covering higher over your face, in an attempt possibly to disguise your identity from passers by recording the shooting incident on their mobile.

All US ICE Officers at the scene should be expected to make signed written statement's for investigation purposes. Said statements of course would necessarily be corroborated by any available body cam evidence. If said officers not wearing- JUST WHY NOT??

Oreo I'd rather be silly than an apologist for thugs and murderers

I imagine these ICE operatives have been told to show some muscle and so behave like thugs regardless of how this could result in an adrenaline pumped bully pulling the trigger on an innocent citizen. This imho was bound to go badly wrong. And the repercussions will almost certainly be public unrest.

They bundle people into cars on suspicion and often without any care about paperwork. With passports , with green cards. They have harassed American Indians who traditionally don’t often have actual paperwork. There was an actual US citizen who was deported in error that they eventually had to return. They separate children from parents. It’s an utter disgrace. They are kept in inhumane conditions. Deported often to countries that are not even their own countries. Far away from their families. It’s a disgrace.

If you’re a bona fide citizen then you can prove it can’t you?
There are so many Jewish people in the US that it would be very strange if they were targeted and I don’t believe they are.
I think that most illegal immigrants there are from Mexico or other countries below Mexico.

The dead woman was a citizen, they didn't give her a chance.

They weren’t going after her as an illegal immigrant, she was obstructing them.
That certainly doesn’t mean that she deserved to be shot!

She wasn't obstructing them. There is so much video evidence around. It can be seen that even when she was stationary, when an ICE operative (not the one who shot her) went to the drivers door, traffic could still pass.

Of course, she presumably was a protestor, but even in the US I don't think it's normally acceptable for peaceful protestors to be shot with live bullets at short range.

The video clips on the news look unclear exactly how much danger the agent who shot the woman was in, so far it doesn’t look like a justified shooting.

Oreo , I believe what my friend has told me. You might not believe that Jewish citizens are targeted but my friend says that these Jewish neighbours are so worried and frightened that they are reluctant to leave their homes while the ICE gangs are about.
There have been other documented incidents of them just seizing American citizens.

She was trying to drive away. Why do you want to excuse murder?

Don’t be silly.

Looking at the video it seems to me that shooting the driver was unnecessary.

I think that the way police and other authority figures treat US citizens is so bad is because that so many people carry guns there, or at least keep a gun in the car.This makes for nerves all round and rash decisions.

This is absolutely horrendous. And the Mayor has no doubt at all what happened and is calling it out as murder.
If I was related to the woman murdered I would be screaming for justice.

Oreo , they are going after citizens who are not illegal immigrants.
It must be dreadful. I have a friend who lives in Chicago who has said that Jewish friends of hers , who are bona fide citizens of the U.S. are so frightened that they are wary of leaving their appartment block.
These ICE thugs are completely out of hand.

It shows that you really can’t mess with police or immigration officers in the US.
It’s a tragic incident indeed.
People there will have to be careful what they do, tho I don’t understand why anyone would try and interfere with officials cracking down on illegal immigrants in an area.🤷🏼‍♀️
