The woman, identified only as a U.S. citizen and so-called “legal observer” at the time of publishing, used her Honda Pilot in what DHS Secretary Kristi Noem described as an “act of domestic terrorism.”
Assistant Secretary of DHS Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement posted to X:
Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.
An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.

This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement. These men and women who are simply enforcing the law on the books are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats.
This is an evolving situation, and we will give the public more information as soon as it becomes available.
Despite a clear video showing the agent firing through the windshield as the woman accelerated toward him, the left quickly branded the shooting a “murder.”

Activists, many of them masked, promptly went out to block traffic and cause trouble.
One of the activists lit fire to an American flag and proceeded to wave it in an act of hatred for this nation.
WATCH:
The footage was also shared by the White House Rapid Response X account.
