Eyewitness video filmed moments after a fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis shows a woman sobbing as she identifies herself as the victim’s wife, while federal agents surround the car and confront people recording the scene. The footage, shot in portrait and obtained from social media user BigSleez Yup, captures Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents opening the vehicle’s door, standing behind the car and warning nearby witnesses. At one point, the person filming asks the distraught woman if she had been riding with the victim. “That’s my wife,” she replies through tears. Reuters confirmed the location from the buildings and road layout seen in the video which matched file and satellite imagery. The date the video was filmed was verified by official and media reports and corroborating videos. The video emerged after officials said a U.S. immigration agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in her car on Wednesday (January 7) amid an immigration enforcement surge under President Donald Trump.

Minnesota's Democratic Governor Tim Walz condemned the fatal shooting of a woman on Wednesday (January 7) amid an immigration enforcement surge in the region.

He said at a press conference that he had put the National Guard on alert for possible deployment. (5031-USA-TRUMP/MINNESOTA-WALZ)

14. (SOUNDBITE) (English) MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ SAYING:

"This morning, we learned that an ICE officer shot and killed someone in Minneapolis. My deepest condolences to the family, to the loved ones who had to learn about this tragic event on national television. We've been warning for weeks that the Trump administration's dangerous, sensationalized operations are a threat to our public safety, that someone was going to get hurt. Just yesterday, I said exactly that.

15. WHITE FLASH

16. (SOUNDBITE) (English) MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ SAYING:

“We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you've done enough. There's nothing more important than Minnesotan safety. I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary. I remind you, a warning order is a heads-up for folks. And these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops. They're teachers in your community, they're business owners, they're construction professionals, they are Minnesotans. Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight."

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Wednesday (January 7) adamantly rejected the Trump administration's claim that the U.S. immigration agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in her car in Minneapolis fired in self-defense, saying he has seen video of the shooting that directly contradicts what he called the government's "garbage narrative." "They're already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense," he said at a press conference. "Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly - that is bullshit." A visibly angry Frey said federal immigration agents were responsible for sowing chaos in the city, telling ICE: "Get the fuck out of Minneapolis." But he also urged residents to remain calm.

''They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly. That is bullshit. This was an agent recklessly using power, that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed.''

19. (SOUNDBITE) (English) MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR JACOB FREY, SAYING:

“To ICE, 'Get the fuck out of Minneapolis.' We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety. And you are doing exactly the opposite. People are being hurt. Families are being ripped apart. Long term Minneapolis residents that have contributed so greatly to our city, to our culture, to our economy are being terrorized. And now somebody is dead. That's on you. And it's also on you to leave.''

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed a 37-year old woman shot and killed by a U.S. immigration agent in Minnesota a "professional agitator" Wednesday (January 7), amid an immigration enforcement surge. (5039-USA-TRUMP/MINNESOTA-TRUTH SOCIAL)

20. SCREENSHOT OF POST FROM U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S TRUTH SOCIAL ACCOUNT REGARDING FATAL SHOOTING OF WOMAN IN MINNESOTA BY ICE (IMMIGRATIONS AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT) AGENT READING (ENGLISH):

"I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday (January 7) described the fatal shooting of a woman by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis as “an act of domestic terrorism,” saying an ICE agent fired in self-defense after the woman attempted to run over officers with her vehicle. Speaking at a press conference in Brownsville, Texas, Noem said Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were conducting enforcement operations when they became stuck in snow due to severe weather. “They were attempting to push out their vehicle and a woman attacked them and those surrounding them and attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle,” Noem said. “An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively shot to protect himself and the people around him.” (5010-USA-TRUMP/MINNESOTA-NOEM)

21. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY, KRISTI NOEM, SAYING:

“It was an act of domestic terrorism. What happened was our ICE officers were out in enforcement action. They got stuck in the snow because of the adverse weather that is in Minneapolis. They were attempting to push out their vehicle and a woman attacked them and those surrounding them and attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle. An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively shot to protect himself and the people around him. And my understanding is that she was hit and is deceased. We're continuing to gather more information. But this goes to show the assaults that our ICE officers and our law enforcement are under every single day. These vehicle rammings are domestic acts of terrorism. We're working with the Department of Justice to prosecute them as such. We will continue to protect our ICE officers and in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies as well.”
