00:00A U.S. immigration agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in her car in Minneapolis
00:16on Wednesday during an immigration enforcement surge, according to local and federal officials,
00:22the latest violence in President Donald Trump's nationwide crackdown on migrants.
00:27Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey adamantly rejected the Trump administration's assertion that
00:44the agent fired in self-defense.
00:47They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense.
00:54Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly, that is bullshit.
01:01This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed.
01:11There's little I can say, again, that will make this situation better, but I do have
01:16a message for our community, for our city, and I have a message for ICE.
01:24To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis.
01:28The shooting drew protesters into the streets near the scene, some of whom were met by heavily
01:33armed federal agents wearing gas masks, who fired chemical irritants at the demonstrators.
01:42In a post on Truth Social, Trump called the victim a professional agitator.
02:01Christy Noem, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, described the fatal shooting as
02:07a response to an alleged attempt to harm law enforcement using a vehicle.
02:11This appears as an attempt to kill or to cause bodily harm to agents, an act of domestic terrorism.
02:19The ICE officer, fearing for his life and the other officers around him, and the safety
02:25of the public, fired defensive shots.
02:27He used his training to save his own life and that of his colleagues.
02:31The Minnesota City Council identified the dead woman as Renee Nicole Good, and said she
02:36was out caring for her neighbors this morning, and her life was taken today at the hands of
02:41the federal government.
02:43The Council statement also demanded that ICE leave the city immediately.
