A dramatic video ripping across social media purportedly captures the moment an ICE agent opened fire on a 37-year-old woman after she tried to barrel her SUV into an officer’s path in Minneapolis, on Wednesday morning.
In the clips circulating from multiple angles, ICE officers move in on the Honda Pilot and order the driver out after she blocks the path of their truck.
As one agent tries to open the door, the driver throws the vehicle into reverse — and then tries to surge forward toward another agent. The agent dodges. He swings around the side and opens fire.
Seconds later, the SUV smashes into a white sedan parked nearby.
A woman is heard screaming: “No! No! What the f–k? What the f–k did you do? You’re f–king criminals!”
According to multiple reports, the driver is dead.

All of it unfolds as the Trump administration ramps up immigration enforcement — described as the largest deployment of immigration agents, including some 2,000 officers across several agencies, since the start of President Trump’s second term.
After the shooting, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey went nuclear on the agent who fired.
“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,” Frey said, pledging a full investigation into the incident.
Then he aimed straight at ICE: “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.”

DHS assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin blasted back, saying ICE was conducting “targeted operations” when “violent rioters” began blocking the streets.
“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.
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.…
