An agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the city's mayor have provided opposing explanations for the shooting.
DHS, which oversees ICE, stated the woman was a "rioter." The department claimed the agent fired his weapon because he feared for his life.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey immediately rejected the self-defense claim. He did not provide specific details but strongly disputed the DHS account.
The incident occurred amid increased ICE operations in the city. Local law enforcement is investigating the shooting.
