“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said.

Senator Tina Smith has the right idea

A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.

ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety

Thing is that ice murdered a guy in franklin park illinois and nothing was done. I agree this is riot worthy but we do need the state law enforcement to side with the state citizens and not federal criminals.

The United States Department of Homeland Security labeled on Wednesday the incident that took place in Minnesota as "an act of domestic terrorism."

In a social media post, the authorities said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were in the area conducting targeted operations "when rioters began blocking" them. "One of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them," it was further written in the statement.

The department detailed that one of the ICE officers opened fire in order to protect his own life and the lives of his colleagues, killing the alleged perpetrator. Meanwhile, some ICE officers were reported to have been injured. "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," Homeland Security stated.

The United States Department of Homeland Security labeled on Wednesday the incident that took place in Minnesota as “an act of domestic terrorism.”

Sounds like they describe the incident accurately for once, although I would point out that this is just one sub-incident of a wider campaign of "blue terror" being waged by Trump's brownshirts against the American people.
