A U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement agent fatally shot a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as authorities surged into the city as part of what the federal government described as the "largest immigration operation ever."
Officials have so far provided conflicting accounts of the shooting, which occurred early on Dec. 7 in a residential neighborhood outside downtown Minneapolis.
The Department of Homeland Security said the agent "fired defensive shots" after the woman allegedly attempted to ram officials with her vehicle. But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey disputed those claims at a news conference, saying videos show the woman driving away from federal agents, not toward them.
"They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense," Frey said. "Having seen the video myself I want to everybody directly, that is bull----."
"To ICE, get the f--- out of Minneapolis," he said. "We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite."
