The Trump administration moved quickly to defend an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fatally shot a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis, while local leaders and witnesses decried the violence and ICE’s continued presence in the city. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem said the woman had threatened officers with her vehicle after blocking a public street. But Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) blamed the Trump administration for the shooting, echoing locals’ frustration over ramped-up federal immigration enforcement efforts targeting Minneapolis. Mayor Jacob Frey (D) said video of the incident shows “an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying.”
