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.

Keeping a semblance of human rights and due process? You mean like removing the right to trial by jury and introducing blasphemy laws? Way to go!

Absolute clowns 🤡

Careful. Your agenda is showing.

Hopefully ASAP, please 🙏🏻

I can't believe anyone is defending the ICE murderer. They shot her multiple times in the head for sitting in her car then trying to leave when told to.

His actions are indefensible.

Nor can I. I can't understand these conservatives that are so full of hate for anyone who doesn't share their view of the world that they'll excuse a woman being executed - in a so-called 'democracy' - for having the 'wrong' politics. What a fucked up world we live in.

Just because you say things over and over, it doesn’t make them true.

Just because you refuse to watch the bit of footage that doesn't fit your narrative, doesn't make you right. Keep watching that mash-up of what happened, it shows different angles.

She clearly drove into an ICE agent, more than one by the looks of it. I'm on Team FAFO.

Good and so they should @Playingvideogames but I've never seen such a display of calm dismissal or justification of the act of a mother being shot -
certainly not on Mumsnet.

In all fairness the left are clamouring the call Meduro ‘the legitimate President of Venezuela’ and are omitting the fact he’s a brutal dictator and his liberated peoples are celebrating.

GB News is to MAGA/Reform what RT is to Putin.

Not quite.

Everyone knows RT is a Putin mouthpiece. Most GB News viewers dont realise that it's a Putin mouthpiece too.

It's not known as KGB News for nothing.

This isn't the shooter, the shooter only has a bandana covering the lower part of his face.
People have been using AI to try and show what his whole face looks like and work out who he is.

This isn't the shooter.

You are focussing on the ICE agent in front. The shooter is behind him. Zoom in. This still is seconds later.

Because it does matter that she deliberately drove at an agent and lifted him off his feet.

She didn't though

RafaistheKingofClay · 08/01/2026 10:26

You do know I’m not condoning it and think it’s horrific. I’m arguing against the point that shooting the driver is a better option than shooting the tyres. They absolutely shouldn’t have been shooting at all.

They shot a woman in a moving car on ice!
How is that ever a better solution to shooting the tires ???

Or

Shock horror.

As they wanted her to move the car why not just let her do that….because that is what she was doing

DdraigGoch · 08/01/2026 12:35

Gloriia · 08/01/2026 09:52

She was driving a vehicle towards an armed officer!
Shooting tyres does not stop anything immediately they swerve and cause more damage.

Wtf was she doing shouting ice are coming? Did she think that was going to help?

Shooting the driver caused more damage, she slumped on the accelerator and hit a lamp post.

He could easily have retreated and no harm would have been done.

What have you do say about the fact that ICE refused to let a doctor examine the victim?

Mangelwurzelfortea · 08/01/2026 12:36

AmIthatSpringy · 08/01/2026 12:35

She didn't though

She didn't but some people will claim black is white and vice versa if it fits their agenda, and there's a lot of this on this thread. Worrying times.

It looks like she was waving the ICE vehicle to let it through and that there was enough room for it to pass- therefore, she was not blocking the road. She was then needlessly confronted by angry, verbally aggressive ICE.

None of us know whether fight/flight/freeze would have kicked in under such circumstances.

Maybe her actions came from a place of knowing her rights- that she had a right to protest and that they are not supposed to interfere/intervene with anything other than their clear remit?

The government narrative doesn’t match up with the filmed evidence. He was in no danger - he put himself there and shot at her several times- twice from the side. It looks like he put other people potentially at risk by his actions re the out of control car.

Stating this woman is a ‘terrorist’ isn’t flying is it? The domestic ‘terrorist’ I personally see are the ICE shooter, his colleagues in how they approached this woman and the cover up thereafter from higher level.

I don't think these people are clowns @SwissChaletPatriot

People on this thread are largely horrified that a mother of a 6 yo has been shot by a profession who's job it is to de escalate situations and maintain calm and order within the law. (Understand ICE not police etc but still an officer with power).

Most of us are horrified that's it's calmly being passed off as being ok by other people on a forum where they often ask for advice on being a mum or a woman in a tough world.

Mumsnet is our haven at times but some hideous masks have slipped on this thread.

UK government jury issues does not equate with firearm carrying and shooting protesters. In the UK, we have an issue with water cannons on protestors.
You are emphasising the difference between us and Americans and it's sad to witness.

I don’t know why you keep linking to that, it doesn’t support your point.

How in hell was this self defence? All she did was drive away from some very scary thugs. The USA has become a place where rule of law no longer exists.

The guy who shoots her very clearly does it because he's angry that she's driving away. She's already past him by that point. He does it just because he can. It's beyond sickening.

Definitely this.
I avoid parts of the internet where people try to justify murder.
It's sad to see it so openly on Mumsnet.

It’s difficult to say what happened from the angle of the video and a lack of facts about the run up to it.

Ultimately I think they could’ve stopped her without lethal force.

The USA is totally different to here though & law and order is more extreme to meet the more extreme threat of crime and violence they face.

There’s a slow motion on US TV
There are interviews with locals who saw it all

There were hundreds of ICE men stood at a school around the corner waiting to pick up parents as they dropped their kids off at the school
then
another group of ICE men were on this road with multiple cars blocking the road

Thats the run up
now check out US TV for the slow motion of the shooting

You will clearly see they had absolutely no reason to shoot her and should have let her drive off

They had no reason to then deny her medical care as a local doctor shouted to let him help her

Trumps regime is a disgrace
