A federal agent shot and killed a Minneapolis motorist when she allegedly tried to run over law enforcement officers during an immigration crackdown in the city, authorities said Wednesday.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot the woman in her vehicle in a residential neighborhood in Minneapolis, Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

Video posted online showed the vehicle crashed in a residential neighborhood. The shooting drew throngs of angry protesters to the scene in an area that is the latest target of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

There was a large presence of federal and local officers, yellow police tape and cars that had been in a crash in the residential neighborhood. Gregory Bovino, a senior U.S. Customs and Border Patrol official who has been the face of crackdowns in Los Angeles, Chicago and elsewhere, was among the group.

“We are aware of a shooting involving federal law enforcement near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue. Please avoid this area,” the city government said on X.

In a scene similar to the Los Angeles and Chicago crackdowns, bystanders didn't hold back in venting their anger, blowing whistles, taunting the federal agents.

“Shame! Shame! Shame!” and “ICE out of Minnesota!” they loudly chanted from behind the police tape, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

After the shooting, Mayor Jacob Frey said immigration agents were “causing chaos in our city.”

“We are demanding ICE leave the city and state immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities," Frey said on social media.

The area where the shooting occurred is a modest neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, just a few blocks from some of the oldest immigrant markets in the area and a mile from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020.

“We’ve been trying to live life as fully as possible in light of the fear and anxiety that we feel,” said the Rev. Hierald Osorto, pastor at St. Paul’s-San Pablo Lutheran Church, which has a predominantly Latino congregation in the area.

The Immigration Defense Network, a coalition of groups serving immigrants in Minnesota, held a training session Tuesday night for about 100 people who are willing to hit the streets to monitor the federal enforcement.

“I feel like I'm an ordinary person, and I have the ability do something so I need to do it,” Mary Moran told KMSP-TV.

The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that it had launched an extraordinary immigration enforcement operation, with 2,000 agents and officers expected in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area for a crackdown tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents.

If he was actually in fear he would take one step to the side to avoid the vehicle (which he did). Shooting the driver accomplishes nothing to neutralize the threat, this isn't a video game the car doesn't abruptly despawn when you shoot it's driver.

It's not just self defense. She was driving off with another officer's arm in the vehicle. This is a known potentially fatal danger. (It also happened to the shooting officer, severely injuring him before) If he says, "Well fuck that other guy I'm just gonna save my own ass," he isn't doing his job.

Guys, real talk for a second.

Why are you arguing with these stupid faggots about the minutia of this shooting? Do you think any of these insincere, criminally retarded poz-loaded faggots give one tiny fuck that a car is a deadly weapon, that the ICE agent was in front of the car for two whole seconds, or that he had a fraction of a second to figure out if he was about ready to never see his wife ever again?

These people aren’t arguing in good faith and they don’t care about reality. They’re the side of peace, love, and good feelings unless you’re on the wrong side of whatever imaginary faggot point of view they hold, then it’s free game to dox you and see you dead in the streets. These are the same stupid cunts who cry about ICE agents wearing masks that will now spend the rest of their miserable lives trying to ruin the rest of Jonathan Ross’s life.

These are mean-spirited, awful, degenerate human beings. They do not mean you well and are not deserving of your time. These are the same retards who are protesting the shooting of two gangbangers with ties to Tren de Aragua: you know, the ones who routinely engage in sex trafficking of minors, rape of illegal migrants, horrid sex slavery, on top of all the murder, torture and drugs.

Are you having a hallucinatory meltdown? The POV camera doesn't show anything new, it doesn't even show him getting hit. Are you all suffering from a case of mass psychosis?

it really isn't that difficult to put two and two together, i promise you that.

And shooting the driver neutralized the threat of the vehicle driving off, correct?

Then again, just because you're reasonable doesn't mean you're right.

But, it does mean you are "not guilty".

 

[Duke Nukem]

to them it doesn't really matter how moderate kirk was, guy could've been a heavy centrist and they'd still mock his death because trump is le hecking fascist and giving any sort of praise for something he's done makes you a nazi. and well its okay to punch and kill nazis so its fine (also keep in mind that to them the far left is ALWAYS the good guys, they're like marvel superheroes dood you cant compare the far right with the far left because the far right is hitler incarnate or something like that.)

I talk a lot of shit and make a lot of fucked up jokes about really bad situations. I was also never really into the guy because his format isn't really my kind of show.

(Plus he kinda came off as some kind of self-righteous religious weirdo, but the leftoids started acting like that and I either left them, or they left me. Don't really like Magats either because tangerine king worship but that's a story for a different thread)

Also, it's not the assassination that bothers me so much as it is the hypocrisy of the people who are praising it. I know that sounds weird, but think about it.

They always act like they're the peaceful loving tolerant compassionate ones but in reality it's just not the case. Plus they treat politics like a zero sum game where they have to convert or kill everyone who isn't just like them.

Remember, there is one and only one thing they want.

Death to the infidels.

P.S., as much as I mock the oversaturation of the film market with superhero movies, it makes perfect fucking sense that they think like that.

And shooting the driver neutralized the threat of the vehicle driving off, correct?

It was the best possible chance to do so, but even shooting them multiple times doesn't guarantee the officer with his arm in the car wouldn't have been dragged. It significantly minimized the potential drag distance in this case because the distance she could travel was limited by the amount of blood she had remaining in her body. The way to actually neutralize this threat WAS FOR THE FUCKING LOCAL POLICE TO DO CROWD CONTROL ON PEOPLE HARASSING FEDERAL AGENTS SO THEY CAN'T GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO DO THIS!

Exactly. We could have this bitch on video, saying, "I am now going to attempt to kill you with my car. I am attempting to commit murder. I shall now accelerate with murderous intent," and they'd still find a reason it was okay.

I'll say this, the average leftoids are genuinely more "nazi" like than your average rightoids (and thats getting proven time and time again). leftoids are quite literally the don quixotes of the political sphere.

It neutralized the threat of the driver simply driving away, turning around, and trying again with some velocity or simply throwing it into reverse and going that way.

Unless you think the police response is "yeah she tried to kill me, but, probably got it out of her system in those 4 seconds and isn't juicing up on fantasies on what the Gestapo are now doing to her wife she left behind". Someone who tries to kill you is treated as an enemy until they surrender or are otherwise neutralized (mainly killed). Which is to say nothing of the threat she would pose driving recklessly on a crowded street full of people in the street and on the sidewalks.

remember when black TV tried addressing that!? its one of the reasons I hate how bill cosby was defamed so fucking much. (IIRC his entire rap sheet at the end of the trial was "he did / shared drugs in the 70s", because who didn't???) he was a good example of a black guy overall, a good influence, and I feel like his decline ALSO coincided with the decline of american blacks tbh.

It's a shame that Bill Cosby went the way he did, I thought his show Kids Say the Darndest Things was funny as fuck when I was a kid. On the up side, a dude threw a hot dog at him in prison which could be comedic in itself.

They think this is Charlie Kirk's grave.

Officer Mark Larson succumbed to injuries sustained on January 25th, 1993, when he was intentionally dragged by a vehicle during a traffic stop.

Officer Larson had been flagged down by a female who informed that a man had attempted to force her into the woods. She pointed out the vehicle, which Officer Larson then stopped. While Officer Larson was speaking to the driver, the man grabbed Officer Larson's arm as he accelerated from the scene. Officer Larson was able draw his weapon and shot the subject multiple times. The man then rammed Officer Larson into a guardrail, near the intersection of Edgewood Avenue & Avenue B, breaking both of his legs and nearly severing his arm before he was thrown into a ditch.

The subject continued to flee but crashed into a nearby tree where he died from the gunshot wounds

Did shooting this person multiple times neutralize the threat of them driving off and save the officer's life? No, because it didn't kill the driver fast enough to neutralize the threat. Multiple shots was insufficient rather than excessive use of force.

Was waiting for something more definitive before I said my piece. Now that we have the view from the cop, it looks pretty certain she drove directly into him.

Yeah, I know, slowpoke and easy to see from the get go, but I always try and see if there is possibly some other explanation.

 

[majob]

There is quite literally a video of the exact guy in the exact scenario taking a step to the side and never losing his footing or getting swept off his feets. He's even doing it while murdering a lady, so there's even enough leeway to multitask

That video literally shows the woman clipping him with her car, meaning he didn't just "step out of the way" You're free to delude yourself about the situation but the rest of us in reality are going to call you retarded

@lightbringga is a faggot

Get him out of here, don't give him his jacket

Yup.

Your browser is not able to display this video.
Drove the cops out of the city.

SO this is anarcho-capalistism in action. Complete lawlessness until a citizen decides to protect themselves against the state they supposedly hate.

"she was just joking, she knew they'd overreact and shoot her, thats' why she did it, it proves they're all trigger-happy idiots!"
