Protestors in Minneapolis are left reeling after a fatal ICE shooting that has sent shockwaves through the community.
The incident occurred during an immigration enforcement operation in the city, which was shadowed by Guardian observers who had trained for months to monitor such events. The scene was chaotic, with dozens of protesters and community members gathered at the site where a woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent while traveling in her car.
Eyewitnesses described the tense atmosphere, as people yelled at Minneapolis police to arrest the agent responsible for the shooting. One woman was overheard asking, "What were you taught by your parents?" - a rhetorical question that seemed to highlight the moral implications of such actions.
The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, has condemned ICE's presence in the city, stating that they are doing the opposite of their stated intention to create safety and security. He called on the community to reject ICE's efforts and warned that the agency is terrorizing families and long-term residents who have contributed to the city's culture and economy.
The incident marks a disturbing escalation in immigration enforcement operations, with ICE calling it its largest operation to date. Trained observers were seen gathering videos of the area where the shooting took place, while city council members, Frey, and police officials attended the scene.
As ICE agents left the area, bystanders clashed with them, throwing snowballs and yelling insults. The situation was eventually brought under control, but not before several people were injured by pepper spray.
The investigation into the shooting is now being led jointly by the FBI and the Minnesota bureau of criminal apprehension, which will examine whether any state laws were violated.
The incident has sent a clear message that the community in Minneapolis rejects ICE's presence and will not tolerate violence against its residents. The city's mayor has made it clear that families and long-term residents have a right to feel safe and secure, without being terrorized by immigration enforcement agents.

they just shoot people for no reason and then leave the scene... meanwhile minneapolis is all like "nope we don't want u here" 
This is so messed up... I was watching the footage of this protest and it was like something out of a movie. People are literally fighting back against these ICE agents because they know they're just doing whatever they want. It's crazy that the mayor is calling for a complete rejection of ICE, but at the same time he should be working to stop this kind of violence from happening in the first place. Like, what even is the goal here? Create safety and security for who again? The community isn't buying it... 
... ICE needs to figure out a better way to enforce immigration laws without resorting to violence. The mayor's right though, families and long-term residents should be able to feel safe without fear of being targeted by agents 
. It's crazy how the situation escalated so fast - first there's protesters, then people throwing snowballs at ICE agents... I just hope the investigation finds out what really happened 
.
OMG this is so sad 
. Its like they were just minding their own biz doing some shopping or something and BAM! ICE agent shoots them dead 
. And can you blame them for being all angry and upset? They feel like they're living in a war zone 
.
, it takes courage to do that especially when it's not easy 
. And I love how he's calling on the community to reject ICE's efforts and stand up for their rights 
. We need more people like him who are willing to fight for what's right 
.
, we need to take a closer look at how immigration enforcement operations are being carried out and make sure they're not violating anyone's human rights 
. And yeah, it's terrifying that families and long-term residents are being terrorized by ICE agents 
. We need to do better than this 
.
I'm so tired of seeing our cities become war zones because of politics 
.
. It's just that they need to be more careful and respectful of people's lives, you know? I'm not saying they're always bad, but sometimes these incidents happen because of a lack of communication or understanding between law enforcement and the community 
. The mayor's right that they should feel safe and secure without being targeted by ICE agents 
. But at the same time, I don't want anyone to be able to just do whatever they want and not face any consequences 
. Maybe there's a middle ground here that no one has thought of yet 
...
. Anyway, I heard Minneapolis is really stepping up its game with community policing, which is awesome 
. But what if they started a penguin squad to deal with the protesters? That would be hilarious!
. This kind of stuff needs to stop ASAP before more lives get lost 
. The mayor's right though, ICE is supposed to be building trust with the community, not terrorizing them 
. It's also heartbreaking to see families and long-term residents being targeted by ICE, they're just trying to live their lives and contribute to society 
.
. We need to do everything we can to prevent similar incidents in the future 
.
im not gonna lie i dont fully understand what's going on with immigration laws but i think its clear that ice is doing more harm than good
