ICE agent shoots woman in the face.

It had to happen; in Minneapolis a woman in a car was shouting at the multiple ICE agents. One tried to open her car door, she started to drive away and was shot 2 (3? 4?) times in the head.

Trump is blaming her. Fucking hell.

EDIT BY MNHQ - Though the footage of this incident is in the public domain, we have removed the link originally included in this thread as we believe it could cause distress.

Horrifying. We need a Black Lives Matter level protest against this man, there is nothing separating him from Derek Chauvin. Nothing.

I’ve just watched it and came on here to see if anyone had started a thread.
Holy fucking crap! There is no way that was self Defense she was trying to drive away from them!
ICE are animals! No they are worse. I hope that one day those cowards are put behind bars for the rest of their miserable lives.

She yielded to their vehicles, no one was in front of the car when she attempted to drive away, Trump has already said it was self-defence by the ICE agent.

This is murder. State approved murder.

This. And the men in the water they murdered as well.

State sanctioned and approved murder.

Senator Kelly has been talking about service people disobeying illegal orders (precedent firmly established by the Nuremberg trials) but I think ICE want to abuse and attack people.

BloodandGlitter · 07/01/2026 21:54

ICE seems to attract the worst of the worst. Agents have been spotted with Nazi tattoos. It appeals to them because they feel powerful.

I’m truly astonished at what is happening in USA right now. Womens rights being completely rolled back, healthcare inaccessible for many, masked federal agents freely kidnapping people off the streets and now apparently shooting at will. Not to mention the state abducting foreign leaders and threatening to invade NATO territories.

I wonder if Americans realise how many parallels there are with the rise of fascism or Nazism in their country, with the slow degradation of rights and lack of respect for foreign sovereignty?

That would require them to have received high quality and unbiased history education.

Which is also why it's a travesty that humanities education is being defunded in the UK too.

Trumpsanob · 07/01/2026 22:03

That footage could not be clearer. The one shown on the news is ambiguous to say the least. Terrifying.

Abhannmor · 07/01/2026 22:03

Trump needs the permacrisis. Distraction from Epstein . A slide towards civil war could give him an excuse to cancel the Mid Terms too ?

Americans don’t know their own history. Not even their own. Never mind everyone else’s.

I agree. I mean, how can anyone think the way ICE functions is in any way normal? Masked, with no requirement to identify themselves, just snatching people. Regardless of any views on illegal immigration etc, compare it to the (still not perfect themselves) police - not masked, badge numbers, maybe body worn cameras, some actual due process.

And then you have the president saying that it was self defence. In this country you’d get the stock “we do not comment on active investigations” comment, which can be frustrating but is very reasonable for political leaders to say.

And Kirstie shit for brains evil at her core has already given a news conference calling the woman a domestic terrorist.

Watching the disintegration of America and the depths of evil that's playing out daily and with free reign is so beyond my comprehension.

He is literally going drag the world into WW3 with zero challenge.

Can someone pls tell me a bit more about ICE, what’s their history? Obv I can google it but ppl here seem to have strong conviction

No!!! You don’t change the fucking narrative! I’ve seen the video! She tried to drive away and the officer MOVED IN FRONT OF HER CAR AND SHOT HER!!!

They then proceeded to block a doctor who was on scene in minutes from attending to her. The also blocked ambulances from getting to her. She was denied any medical help.

The agent who shot her reportedly left the scene immediately after the shooting. He got in his car and drove off. He is an animal.

I've seen the video too. She was told to exit the car and drive off, in the direction of other police. She could have killed him. He had no idea what her intentions were.

If you're told to stop and exit by police you DO NOT drive.

You can clearly see in the videos that the shots weren't fired head on, the shooter wasn't facing her for all 3 shots

They are a bunch of thugs employed by the US government to capture and deport those in the US illegally.
They have next to no training. Many are the thugs who Trump pardoned from the January 6th insurrection.

They have been raining terror down on the non white population of America. They no longer care if they capture US citizens or those in the IS illegally. They rip children from parents. They keep their prisoners in dreadful conditions.

They receive a bounty for every individual they capture. They often claim paperwork to be false even when genuine.

This. He moved in front of her car as she was trying to leave.

Masked, unbadged, armed men on the streets grabbing people. And shooting someone when she doesn’t comply. I’m willing to bet they wouldn’t do this in a state where people are armed and stand their ground. They only get away with this BECAUSE people in liberal cities aren’t violent.

As the mayor said, “fuck off”.

DuncinToffee · 07/01/2026 22:18

ICE also prevented medical help getting to the woman, both from a doctor presemt at the scene and the arriving ambulance

Ice are not police. She followed a civilian car not an Ice vehicle. She was not driving towards any ice officers. Stop lying!

LordBummenbachsMagnificentBalls · 07/01/2026 22:19

Professional, trained and responsible law enforcement should be capable of de-escalating and using their weapons as a last resort, not just firing at civilians as reflex. If this happened in the UK there would be a suspension and full enquiry. This entire incident was less than 30 seconds and the shooter fled the scene with a mask on.
There was a complete lack of due process involved

The problem is if it leads to violence Trump will call in the national guard & try & stop the mid terms. Walsh has already warned Minnesota this is what Trump wants. He wants a civil war then he won’t hold election's.
