Woman shot and killed by ICE officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota

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- 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 think Vance just alluded that the officer in the video here who was dragged by a car and the officer who shot this woman is the same officer. I have not confirmed that at all and wouldn't be surprised if Vance is lying out his ass.

Which now may lead further questions about the legality of the arrests being made, which are in violation of the 4th Amendment. If the officer is breaking the law and violating constitutional rights by breaking the window, does he get to be a victim? Total gray area that I don't care to debate because, again, I am not a judge or jury.

This is going to get tricky if it ever makes it to a court. The corrupt government wont allow it though.

This is a disgrace, there was no justification for this at all. The video showed clearly what happened.
The thug who did this arrogantly walked down the road gesticulating to a woman calling out Shame. He certainly had none.
A six year old was taken to school by his Mother, he will now know he will grow up without one, politics aside that is the real tragedy.
Shame on anyone who even tries to justify this. I wonder what the posters who stated they liked Trump think about this. I hope they have changed their minds.
To sum up, ICE are mindless thugs, and it is only a matter of time before this happened.

This was a mother of three who was a devout Christian and lived peacefully with her partner and family. It is thought that she was on a school run when she came across the ICE thugs. Research into her background shows that her only previous transgression was a minor traffic offence.

Very quickly and with no foundation, she was publicly demonised as being a known violent left wing terrorist.

I don't know what Katie Hopkins and Jim Davidson, two of the UK's most vociferous supporters of Trump, have to say about it and I have no intention of finding out.

When is this madness going to end?

And the man who shot her was shooting at her while the car was moving. What sort of idiot shoots the driver of a moving car? I f there had been bystanders it could have caused carnage. The car that it eventually crashed into was someone's property. Will they be compensated or will ICE find away to make it their own fault?

He should have shot at the tyres. Still dangerous, but not so deadly.

Magenta "This was a mother of three who was a devout Christian and lived peacefully with her partner and family. It is thought that she was on a school run when she came across the ICE thugs. Research into her background shows that her only previous transgression was a minor traffic offence"

this is going to really get to fellow churchgoers unless they are "Christian Nationalists" types.

And they shot 2 people in Portland. This was Customs and Border Patrol agents. I have no idea on any details on this yet, so just passing this story on.

www.alternet.org/federal-agents-portland-shooting/

I am a bit confused about this until more information comes out. They way Instead this, I would believe that Customs agents shot 2 people, then left the scene and one of the victims called 911 for help.

Please for the love that all that is holy, I hope that is not true.

*This news station says that agent shot 2 people and the man shot was the one who called 911. More to come.

Ok, here is the narrative from DHS. These 2 people are bad gang members and tried to run over agents, then fled the scene. I am seeing reports that the FBI has already taken over the investigation.

www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/01/08/two-wounded-in-shooting-involving-border-patrol-agents-in-portland/88091886007/

I think I saw that Walz has activated the National Guard because the protests there are getting heated in Minnesota. This Portland shooting isn't going to help.

Ok, here is clarity and I will stop until I get home from my club later tonight.

Agents shot 2 people in their car at one location. The driver of the vehicle then drove away. Someone found them bleeding and called for an ambulance.

Right now the narrative is that these 2 people, a husband and wife, are part of the Venezuelan gang and they had a warrant for them both.

The FBI has taken over the investigation and will issue propaganda a statement soon.

I know I promised I won't. Post again, but this is important. Renee Good in Minneapolis is the 5th person they have killed in the last 5 months.

A lady in Chicago was shot last month and also did not receive help.

Interesting thread here. Anyone actually live in the US? I do.

The illegal immigration problem has been around for a lot of years and especially in border states. I have seen on local news, the gangs, farmers getting shot by Mexican cartels in Texas, etc.

My particular state, before these new crackdowns, has had shootings by gangs, stabbings, drugs, etc. We learn to avoid certain areas with known gang activity whenever possible.

Local news, local police constantly busting gang related activities. Lots of drug and guns busts.

In the city next to mine, awhile back, reports of capturing leaders of cutthroat Mexican gangs. I mean, huge busts of leaders and the guns, drugs, etc.

Knowing they had caught one particular kingpin a few years ago in a city right next to mine was very unsettling; glad he was caught but knowing he was right next door so to speak was scary.

Local city police would show the busts in the media.

But lately, since they've cracked down, it seems a lot less reports crime from the gangs.

Some of the Mexicans here , thought, are very nice; many came legally. Others think they need to "take back" our western states, that they were "stolen" from Mexico.

But truth is, after the Mexican-American War, the Treaty of Hildalgo-Guadalupe showed that the US bought and paid Mexico for the states; also forgave any debts and allowed anyone who was Mexican instant citizenship if they wanted to stay.

Yet the claims still persist.

But, have definitely seen improvements since the crackdowns.

Before that I wondered if we should consider moving elsewhere.

As far as this latest event, I can't speak for intentions, but it did look like the ICE officer panicked when she was driving straight for him and just opened fire. It almost looks like after he fired the first shots , she swerved the car to the right and then continued until the crash into other cars.

Why she just didn't get out of the car, who knows. Contrary to popular media, legal citizens are not being arrested.

Sometimes someone may be taken in for questioning and released. I hear about this all the time on local news and message boards; people complain while others say it's necessary to get to the criminals.

There have been many protests, some peaceful, but I've also seen those who will try to get physical, and obstruct both officers, ICE and regular citizens on streets.

They risk themselves and others.

There have been at least 170 citizens detained illegally by ICE.

www.propublica.org/article/immigration-dhs-american-citizens-arrested-detained-against-will

And yes, I do live in the US.

There are no confirmed cases of being held for days and days. Some have been for a couple of hours, not days.

Detaining a suspect is not illegal btw; local and state authorities do it all the time in other crime situations.

And detaining is much different than being arrested. People are claiming being arrested. The hearsay and misinformation out there is astounding.
