Minneapolis: One dead in shooting during ICE operation

Authorities reported Wednesday that they are investigating a shooting related to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation in Minneapolis.

"Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism," Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, wrote on social media.

In that regard, the spokeswoman detailed that an ICE officer fired defensive shots. He did so, according to McLaughlin, "fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement officers and the safety of the public."

She further detailed that the alleged assailant was hit and killed. The injured ICE agents are expected to make a full recovery.

"This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement. These men and women who are simply enforcing the law on the books are facing [a] 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats," the department spokeswoman highlighted.

Democrats would try to impeach Noem

During a press conference in Minneapolis, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that any death is a "tragedy," but that the ICE shooting was justified. "Our officer followed his training, did exactly what he's been taught to do in that situation," Noem said, adding that the woman who was killed was trying to block officers with her vehicle, had been harassing them through the day and "attempted to run a law enforcement officer over" before she was shot. "We'll let the FBI continue the investigation to get it resolved," she said, adding that immigration enforcement has made over 1,500 arrests in Minnesota in recent weeks.

Following her remarks, Rep. Robin Kelly , D-Ill., announced plans to impeach Noem. “Secretary Kristi Noem is an incompetent leader, a disgrace to our democracy, and I am impeaching her for obstruction of justice, violation of public trust, and self-dealing," Kelly wrote in a statement. "Secretary Noem wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area, and now, her rogue ICE agents have unleashed that same destruction in Minneapolis, fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good."

President Donald Trump also delivered some words about the incident on his Truth Social account, where he wrote: "The woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer."

In response, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey had a strongly worded message for federal immigration officials: "Get the f*** out of Minneapolis. " At a news conference after the shooting, Frey said, "We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety and you're doing exactly the opposite."
