Minneapolis Mayor Demands ICE Departure Amid Deadly Shooting, Contradicts DHS Account

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, has called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to leave the city after a fatal shooting involving one of their agents. The incident occurred during a raid on Wednesday, when a 37-year-old woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent while driving her car. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initially claimed the woman was attempting to run over the agents, but a viral video has raised doubts about this account. Mayor Frey, who was sworn in for his third term on January 5, expressed his outrage at the incident, stating that the agent's actions were reckless and resulted in someone's death. He further criticized the DHS for 'causing chaos and distrust' and 'ripping families apart.' The mayor's call for ICE to leave Minneapolis comes as protests erupted across the city in response to the incident, with some officials labeling it an act of 'domestic terrorism.' The mayor's comments reflect his long-standing opposition to ICE operations in Minneapolis, and the incident has sparked a heated debate between the city's administration and the federal government.
