Dramatic video purportedly shows the moment an ICE agent fatally opened fire on a woman in Minneapolis, who DHS says attempted to barrel her SUV into the path of an officer.
In the footage, ICE officers order the driver out of the vehicle after she blocked the path of their truck. But as one of the agents attempts to open the door, she quickly throws the car into reverse before trying to speed forward in the direction of another agent in her path. After the vehicle narrowly misses the agent, he fires three shots before the car crashes into a white sedan parked nearby on the side of the street.
As multiple angles of the incident have emerged and gone viral across the internet, users are left divided on whether or not the agent’s actions were reckless or in self defense.

The Russian government asked the US Wednesday to ensure “proper and humane treatment” of the crew of a sanctioned oil tanker after it was boarded and seized by American forces in the North Atlantic.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt rejected the Russian request during her regular briefing Wednesday. “This was a Venezuelan shadow fleet vessel that has transported sanctioned oil,” she said. “The vessel was deemed stateless after flying a false flag, and it had a judicial seizure order, and that’s why the crew will be subject to prosecution.”
