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 knew they were ICE, they told her to get out of the car and she refused and drove towards one of them. He had a split second to react, I do think she was trying to get away but she drove right at him and clipped him, there are videos on X. The first bullet goes through the windscreen so he was in front of the car. It is sad but I don’t know what she expected to happen, she should have obeyed them, they are federal law enforcement.

Are law enforcement officers no longer trained to immobilise a vehicle or a person without deadly force?
It's cold blooded murder.

You could not pay me to visit the US right now.
That video should do loads of for their tourism.

How? I’m being serious. ICE are masked, they don’t show ID, they are often in unmarked vehicles and in civilian or generic military style clothes. They are just armed thugs telling you to get out of your car. This is a knife that cuts both ways. If they want the protection and power of their roles, they need to properly identify themselves as police officers are bound to do. If they want to act like anonymous thugs, why should anyone trust they are who they say they are?

If I was a psychopath, what’s to stop me and my friends doing the same and dragging poor Hispanic people off the streets?

I hope the people can stay focused.

I don't agree with Mumsnet banning the video at all.

How to say you haven't seen the video, without saying you haven't seen the visit.

I do agree though that Trump is massively exaggerating, which doesn’t help, the facts as they are provide a defence for the ICE agent IMO.

No they do not! Stop twisting the narrative of this to suit your own agenda. She was murdered in cold blood by a masked thug with a gun. Her car was not pointed towards the agents her wheels where pointed away and the car was moving away from the agents. The agent could have shot out her tyres and stopped the vehicle if he was that concerned. He murdered her.

The thugs then held a guns up and threatened to shoot medics who tried to go to her aid. CPR was not started until local law enforcement arrived because ICE prevented medics from attending to her AT GUNPOINT!

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 07/01/2026 23:01

I watched the video from a couple of angles. She was driving straight at him before he got his gun out. She clipped him with the car.

Goldshelfie · 07/01/2026 23:02

She was in the protest blocking their vehicles, she knew who they were, she wasn’t some random who got caught in the middle of it all by accident. Not saying that justifies anything but just that she knew perfectly well that they were law enforcement.

I’m sure before long people will be insisting those medics were actually “aiding and abetting domestic terrorism” while threatening ICE with their bandages.

It's beyond sickening.

BunnyLake · 07/01/2026 23:06

He’s a murderer. Absolutely shocking. No wonder I don’t want to step on American soil again for a long time, trigger happy lunatics given too much power.

Rubbish. There was no need to fire a gun other than he wanted to. You need to stop supporting thugs and murderers.

You need to go and have a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself if you ever thought you would sink so low as to defend something like this. What has built up such hatred and anger in you that you could possibly ever think the officer's actions were justifiable?

Which makes her a hero, not a terrorist.

For those of us playing along at home, this is what you would do when the brown shirts arrive to harass and remove your neighbours. Or you wouldn’t. Because most people don’t. This woman did.

I imagine MN has removed the video in case any advertisers are US based / symoathetic. Or am I just a mean minded cynic.

Anyhoo, this whole incident is despicable and any apologists should be ashamed of themselves.

Trump is a deranged tyrant, and right now I'm more scared of him and his fascistic Christian Nationalist ilk than I am of Putin.

The video isn't hard to find, in fact it's pretty much unavoidable, and it's really distressing. I had to go to enormous lengths to not see the video of the Charlie Kirk shooting, and I wish I hadn't seen this one. I support their decision to take it down.

Other videos suggest he slipped on the ice. Trump claims he went to hospital - he got in his car and drove away!

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.

Unfortunately I don’t put it past certain factions here if in power to similar methods - we have a load of shit for brains thugs that could readily be used and who would just love this self importance under a patriotism flag .

I also avoided the Charlie Kirk one but I did watch this. Because it’s important to be able to bear witness. This will be a pivotal point and having watched it, I know where I stand.

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.

Whilst I agree with you that she did initially stop for the officers, when she drove off there absolutely was an officer in the front of her vehicle who she drove at you can clearly seen this from the video online.

Blinkingbother · 07/01/2026 23:17

I don’t know where you read ? Saw ? Your version but I am a US citizen and watched more than a few videos and read an eye witness account that was not a protestor ithat saw the whole event verified by the NYT. She was clearly driving away , she was in no way blocking them in , one officer told her to stop that she would not have heard ( windows closed ) and immediately shot her . She was veering AWAY from him. In no way shape or form was she threatening them . This will come out in a court of law. It was murder plain and simple.

I don’t know how I’m gonna fucking sleep, it’s so distressing
