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.

She FAFO. Why people can't just do as authority figures instruct them to is beyond me; it's very simple and part of being a society.

These are not authority figures with jurisdiction in this situation. They are not police.

An out of control vehicle is no more dangerous (arguably less) than a vehicle being driven by a person who is aiming to knock over a pedestrian or who is reckless as to whether they will knock over a pedestrian.

The US legal system and case law is very different to the UK. I think that if this went to court it would likely be ruled to be self defence.

A clip from the US TV channel ABC showed the car hitting the ICE agent before or just as he opened fire.

At that moment in time, he had to decide whether he was threatened with imminent deadly force. Deadly force doesn't just mean something that could kill you but also, in a UK context, the equivalent of being threatened with GBH (grievous bodily harm).

People usually think of deadly weapons as involving guns or knives etc, but having a huge American car revving it's engine and driving directly at you certainly counts as a deadly weapon.

People have suggested that he should have moved out of the way. But where? It was an icy road and the front wheels did not have traction at first - the car could have gone anywhere.

From a US perspective, part of any legal case would be was his action reasonable? Would a reasonable and prudent person in those circumstances also come to the same conclusion?

It wouldn't be down to the ICE agent to prove that it was a reasonable belief, it would be down to the prosecution to proof that no reasonable or prudent person in that same situation would come to the same conclusion.

There is also no need to be "perfect", just "reasonable" in his belief that he was about to be run over. So the agent didn't have to be "correct" that he was about to be seriously injured by being run over, just that he "reasonably" believed that he was about to be.

That's rather a high hurdle for any prosecution to overcome.

I think there was something like two or three seconds from the woman revving her engine and moving towards the agent and the three shots being fired.

This is a very misleading interpretation of events that conflicts with most accounts in Newspapers that wrote detailed analysis . The Guardian has a very good analysis and account that reflects what most newspapers are saying about this incident as more information comes in. I wish people would have to read the whole thread before just jumping on here.

Look at the angle of the bullet, you idiot. It was not head on, it was from the side.

Someone should remove your keyboard before you poke yourself in the eye with it.

"Look at the angle of the bullet..."

I would say the same to you (but leave out the insult!)

There is a photo (credit Tim Evans/ Reuters) in the article on The Times website showing the crashed car.

It very clearly shows a bullet hole fired from the front of the car.

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.

So a bit like the blackshirts/brownshirts????

Someone should remove your keys if you think this shot came from the side. There’s no side angle where this hit somebody in the head, then exited, unless the driver had their head on the dashboard.

The bullet hole in that picture is quite clearly towards to bottom left of the windshield. If you were to connect a straight line from that hole to the driver headrest, it would be a diagonal because the bullet was shot from the side rather than head on. The photo you've shown does not match with the point you're trying to make.

You don’t like it because I think mnhq have got posting right.

I haven’t stated my view on the video.

What's your view on the video?

WhatYouWearing · 08/01/2026 11:08

Does anyone actually know what happened leading up to this? I can’t find it anywhere so I asked AI. AI said Renee dropped her son off at school with her partner then joined a protest where she was out the car blowing a whistle then got back in the car and blocked the ICE vehicles (presumably why her partner wasn’t in the car)

Can anyone verify this? Is this a matter of FAFO? Was it a stunt for social media that went horribly wrong? Personally whether she was committing a crime or not, interfering with agents, I think the response was disproportionate and the agent should be sacked and charged.

usernamealreadytaken · 08/01/2026 10:31

The federal agent who tried to stop her remained at the side of the vehicle. The shot was fired through the front, which means the vehicle was travelling towards the agent who fired. when an armed federal agent tells you to stop, why do you think somebody should be able to drive away and use their vehicle as a weapon on another agent? You are the one supporting killing or injuring somebody, because you don’t agree with their role or politics.

Stop twisting the narrative.

Through the front, but from the side.

Indeed - your thoughts in line with many notable people - Putin, N Korean leaders, Stalin.
Thing is that all sounds so civilised, better for society - of course plebs and women wouldn’t even have a vote in the U.K. if we always obeyed let alone be on here debating it - which may indeed have led me to a more peaceful morning.

Honestly I think it sounds like a clusterfuck, and everyone panicked, and someone wound up dead.

I don't really understand why someone would want to protest the deportation of Somalian welfare fraudsters, but I suppose that's an indication of how polarised and weird things are in the US now.

Of course, both sides will put their exaggerated slant on events now as we can see.

The footage doesn't show the ICE agent panicking, imo. It appears to show him take a deliberate step towards the vehicle, take aim and fire, deliberately step around the vehicle, take aim again and shoot twice more.

However, even if he was frightened, he was the one with the training, not the victim. He should have been trained enough to handle the situation with as little force as necessary, which would have been to step out of the way of her car and take note of the license plate. He had time to aim his weapon; he would have had the same amount of time to take out his phone and snap a pic of her license plate.

Wanting them hauled off to deportation to torture prisons does, though.

Ask yourself, would Hitler approve of ICE? Really ask yourself.

He would think they are an undisciplined rabble but he would very much approve of what they are doing. Which is extremely disturbing.

I think this is what people are forgetting - they are there ( rightly or wrongly) for a specific purpose- which isn’t law enforcement related to protestors

It's also part of most civilised societies that people aren't summarily executed on the street for not doing exactly as 'authority figures instruct them to'.

yeah total bullshit. Where was all this opprobrium when GWB decide to invade Iraq for no real reason? America has always done what it wants, now it’s just doing what its voters want (for a change)

I'm simply answering your question why your in laws and others on here care about US politics.

(and many didn't like GWB and marched against Iraq War and its fair to say the war was a major factor in bringing down Tony Blair's leaderships and prob similar reason why Obama was elected and republicans were out of office for 8 years)

The fact that the current US Government is doing "what its people want now" is the reason why it's so sad and shocking - that you're happy with this type of behaviour from your Government.

No we do not
I did not get the support for Floyd a thief, convicted drug dealer, convicted armed robber who threated to shoot a whiter pregnant woman in the stomach and kill her baby of she did not give him her handbag
What about his victims?

Because there is such a thing as the justice system. It’s better than choking a suspect to death. Even if he is guilty. I can’t believe you are so stupid.

After watching the videos on X it’s clear that there’s two ICE agents there and the one from the front that she’s driving at shoots not the one that’s on the drivers side of the car.

alittleprivacy · 07/01/2026 23:29

Because it was. She deliberately drove into one of the agents.

It's sad that she is dead, but she made a choice to take a potentially deadly action against an armed officer when she drove a vehicle into him.

There is a video from a different angle showing him being hit before he shoots. It was self defense and the fault is with both the deceased woman and the political activists that riled her, and people like her up to the point that they will deliberately hit another human being with a car.

If you believe that, why would the agent shoot her in the head AS she was supposedly driving at him? Surely that would be more dangerous as she would die with her foot on the accelerator? So continuing to drive at him. In your world, did the ICE agent have no agency to move out of the way? I'm so shocked and saddened by people like you denying clear, unequivocable evidence to the contrary because it suits your agenda.

Jesus Christ this thread. I have been on MN for 25++ years and I can't recognise it any more. ' Robust response'😫
Yes, I know I can just leave blah blah.

As usual on these threads there are a number of apparent first time posters who only set up accounts in the last 24 hours.

It’s bloody awful - an unarmed woman shot in the face three times.

JHound · 08/01/2026 10:53

Well that’s it.

The dumbest thing I have seen on the internet today.

Yep - I would love to know how this person was an illegal criminal - presumably if Farage has tge blackshirt vigilantes on the streets here we should all expect such robust treatment if we so much as join in ‘any’ protest , even though we are perfectly legal citizens protesting about something .

chocciechocface · 08/01/2026 11:15

These stills clearly show the murderer’s feet to the side of the vehicle when he took the first shot, and him well clear of the vehicle when carried on shooting.

I mistakenly thought she was an illegal criminal trying to escape law enforcement. Apparently she was a legitimate US citizen and not an illegal criminal.

She should have been nowhere near ICE raids on illegal criminals and if in the unlikely event she accidentally and randomly found herself there, she should have just stopped when instructed to do so.
