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.

This is simply not true. The video is very clear- one officer was stood in front of the vehicle before it moved towards him, in no way did he run in front of the vehicle. Why would you suggest this?

Now whether shooting her was a reasonable response is a very different question as well as why didn't he just step out of the way. But the officer most definitely did not run in front of the moving vehicle as you falsely suggest.

IVe watched it again

SHE DRIVES AWAY.

STOP LYING!!!!! SHE HIT NOBODY!!! He was NOT HIT BY HER VEHICLE! STOP LYING!!!

This is just not true I am afraid. She did hit him while trying to drive away. The agent clearly shouldn't have escalated so quickly, but she did hit him. The footage is available on X, as well as other places, from the angle of the trees.

I don't understand people taking such hysterical black and white positions. Two wrongs can happen. Things can get out of control when people have guns. People can do foolish things.

HE KILLED HER IN COLD BLOOD! STOP THR LIES

"Available on X" how helpful.

X that bastion of truth.

Nearly as honest as truth social.

Blueskiesnotgrey · 07/01/2026 23:53

You're not looking at the new one taken from above the trees then that clearly shows that she hit him a glancing blow. I suggest you look again at more recently released footage. Nobody is lying, and discussing the facts of what happened is not necessarily excusing or blaming. Stop being so hysterical. That's how this situation happened in the first place, people over reacting

OonaStubbs · 07/01/2026 23:53

Has Trump actually made a statement? Because I've seen pics of a twitter post but on his actual twitter it's not there.

On January 6th, when insurrectionists stormed the Capitol, in what many would characterise as an attempted coup, one insurrectionist was shot by police. ONE. Officers and agents of the government should be responsible, restrained and professional.

Renee wasn’t even the subject of their deportation. She was just protesting. As is protected by the Constitution. Which Trump claims to love but actually only applies to certain people. She wasn’t restricting essential services, she was protesting. That’s protected. ICE made it a violent and ultimately fatal encounter.

Whybis she driving away from a federal law enforcement officer who is directing her to leave her car?

Also, being reported on X she is a 'professional protester'.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 07/01/2026 23:55

Who the fuck goes to an important press congerenfe with a full face and hooped earrings???????

dapsnotplimsolls · 07/01/2026 23:56

The video where it looks like he's hit is from a distance. Other videos are closer and from the other side. These suggest that he slipped on the ice.

Ihavelostthegame · 07/01/2026 23:45

Time for you to visit specsavers I think!

Seriously look at the video and you can clearly see there is an officer stood in front of the vehicle before. Why are you denying this?

I agree that whether shooting was a reasonable response is questionable as well as why didn't he just step out of the way. But why deny there was an officer stood in front of the vehicle when there clearly is?

A ‘professional protestor’

so someone who is politically engaged and protests regularly?? 🙄🙄🙄

AliceandOscar · 07/01/2026 23:57

I’m stunned that there are people on here trying to gaslight us into believing this woman was trying to kill an ICE agent.
if they truly believe what they are saying, we really are in George Orwell’s world

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command’

I will continue shaming her appearance. She is dressed unprofessionally and is parroting the words of the president who simply isnt arsed about a woman being shot in the face

it’s disgusting, she is disgusting and a woman is dead. But you worry about me shaming her for her earrings, you wannabe pat butcher

NotTerfNorCis · 07/01/2026 23:58

Trump said that. What does it even mean? That she's paid by someone? Who? Load of bollocks.

Yes I have. I’ve seen both angles. Neither show anyone being hit by the vehicle.
He is a couple of feet back from the car and slips backwards with the force of discharging his gun.

Oh convenient that this appeared after social media was flooded with videos of what happened and on X of all places.

Definitely trust worthy...I mean if it wasn't the case that the Trump administration are a pack of lying corrupt pieces of absolute shit, that haven't at all already been proven to be liars literally on a daily basis since his inauguration.

Yes I don't dispute that she tries to drive away but there is an officer stood in front of her vehicle - that's a fact.

Again, ICE want it both ways.

A police officer would be wearing a uniform, identify themselves, follow the law and not walk in front of a car.

ICE want to be masked, not uniformed, not show ID, and he walked in front of a car.

If you are masked, without ID, you should not expect people to follow your instructions.

No darling he moves in front of the vehicle himself. He put himself there. She was trying to flee unidentified masked men pointing a gun at her.
