A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis. Federal officials say the woman tried to run over ICE agents with her car.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey strongly rejected the official version of events. He publicly called the federal claim "bullshit." The mayor has demanded that ICE agents leave the city.
The shooting happened during an operation by ICE, the federal immigration enforcement agency. Few other details about the incident are currently available.
The mayor's sharp criticism highlights the ongoing tension between city leadership and federal immigration authorities. Local officials in many U.S. cities often limit cooperation with ICE operations.
