A deadly shooting involving federal immigration officers in Minneapolis has sparked several investigations, widespread protests, and renewed examination of how immigration enforcement is carried out in major U.S. cities. The incident occurred during a targeted operation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and was partially captured in newly released video footage showing chaotic moments before a woman driving an SUV was killed.
The shooting happened in south Minneapolis during what federal officials described as a pre-planned immigration enforcement action. ICE agents were conducting operations in the area when they encountered the woman, whose name has not yet been made public. Authorities say the situation escalated quickly after the SUV moved toward officers at the scene.
