"The siege of #Minneapolis is a disturbing escalation of ICE’s past tactics. ICE & its associated agencies also targeted cities like #LosAngeles and #Chicago over the past year. The goal this time appears to be something closer to collective punishment for a city and a state that rejected #DonaldTrump in three presidential elections and whose governor, Tim Walz, ran against him in 2024."

![Text from article:
An ICE officer shot and killed a woman in south Minneapolis Wednesday morning while she was in a vehicle, drawing sharp condemnation from local lawmakers and attracting hundreds of protesters to the scene.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security confirmed the death on X and in a statement to Sahan Journal about 11:45 a.m.
Mayor Jacob Frey said at a news conference later in the day that the woman was 37, and noted that ICE had claimed self-defense in shooting her.
“Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everyone directly. That is [expletive],” said Frey, who demanded that ICE leave Minnesota.
Witness Caitlin Callenson shared a video with Sahan Journal that appears to show federal agents walking up to the door of a maroon SUV stopped in the middle of the street. In the video, a federal officer pulls on the SUV’s door handle, and when the driver tries to pull away from the agents, a second federal officer fires shots into the vehicle. The vehicle moves forward briefly and crashes into a curb and another vehicle.](https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/115/856/164/868/730/159/original/3de807b59e22c36c.png)
