President Trump on Wednesday afternoon responded to the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis which resulted in the death of a woman who tried to run over an agent.
Chaos erupted on Wednesday after ICE fatally shot a rioter who attempted to run over agents in Minneapolis.
The female driver was reportedly shot in the face.
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.
Additional footage clearly shows that an ICE officer was in danger of being run over as the driver accelerated.
Trump said the driver “violently, willfully, and viciously” ran over the ICE officer – who shot her in self defense.
“I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense,” President Trump said on Truth Social.
President Trump said the ICE officer is recovering in the hospital.
“Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis,” Trump said.
“They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!” Trump added.

A bullet hole is visible in the front windshield of the deceased driver’s vehicle, further proving the ICE agent was in danger of being run over at the time of the shooting.
The Department of Homeland Security called in an “act of domestic terrorism.”
“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,” the DHS said.
“An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots,” the DHS said.
