Chaos erupted on Wednesday after ICE fatally shot a rioter who attempted to run over agents in Minneapolis.
Video posted to X shows the moment a female rioter was shot dead as she tried to run over federal agents in an attempt to kill them.
The Department of Homeland Security called in an “act of domestic terrorism.”
Full statement from DHS:
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.
An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.
He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.
The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. The ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.
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 who are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats.
This is an evolving situation, and we will give the public more information as soon as it becomes available.

Far-left Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who just last month claimed ICE’s presence in his city would get people shot, demanded ICE leave the city.
“I am aware of a shooting involving an ICE agent at 34th Street & Portland. The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city. We’re demanding ICE to leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities,” Mayor Frey said.
