Dramatic video purportedly shows the moment an ICE agent opened fire on a 37-year-old woman who attempted to barrel her SUV into the path of an officer in Minneapolis Wednesday morning.
In the footage being widely circulated on social media from varying angles, ICE officers approach a plum-colored Honda Pilot and order the driver out of the vehicle after she blocked the path of their truck.
As one of the agents attempts to open the door, she quickly throws the car into reverse before trying to speed forward in the direction of another agent in her path.


That agent dodges the SUV, swings around the side and fires three shots before the car crashes into a white sedan parked nearby on the side of the street.
Following the gunfire, a woman repeatedly screams “no! no! What the f–k? What the f–k did you do? You’re f–king criminals!”
The deadly shooting comes amid the largest deployment of immigration agents — including some 2,000 officers across several agencies — since the start of President Trump’s second term.
At a news conference following the shooting, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey accused the agent who fired the deadly shots as acting recklessly.
“They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly: that is bulls—t. This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying,” he said, pledging a full investigation into the incident.
“To ICE: Get the f—k out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being here is to create some kind of safety and you are doing exactly the opposite.”

“One of the violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them — an act of domestic terrorism,” she said in an X post.
“An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots. He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.”
