"Minneapolis Demands Federal Immigration Agency Leave After Fatal Shooting"
Mayor Jacob Frey has called on US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to leave Minneapolis immediately, following a fatal shooting that left one woman dead. The incident occurred during a traffic stop in the Powderhorn neighborhood when the victim attempted to drive away from ICE agents.
A widely shared video shows the woman peeling her car away from the agents, resulting in one of them opening fire. Frey, who was visibly shaken by the event, stated that the presence of ICE in the city was "doing the exact opposite" of its mission to enforce safety.
The Mayor's words were echoed by Senator Tina Smith, who described the situation as "volatile." She called on ICE to leave the city before more people get hurt. However, her comments drew criticism from Trump allies, with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller accusing her and other Democrats of supporting domestic terrorists.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has defended the actions of the agent who opened fire, claiming that the woman had committed an "act of domestic terrorism" by attempting to run over ICE agents. However, Frey rejected this claim, calling it "bulls**t." He argued that the agent's actions were reckless and resulted in the killing of an innocent person.
The incident has sparked a heated debate on the role of federal immigration agencies in local communities. Frey's demand for ICE to leave the city is seen as a bold move by some as a way to protect residents from what they perceive as excessive enforcement. However, others argue that it is a misguided attempt to address complex issues of immigration and border security.
As tensions continue to escalate, it remains to be seen how the federal government will respond to Minneapolis's demand for ICE to leave. One thing is certain, however - the shooting has brought attention to the need for greater accountability and transparency in law enforcement agencies, particularly when it comes to interactions with immigrant communities.

honestly i'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole situation...it's like we're living in a bad 90s cop movie where the bad guys are literally shooting people because they think they committed a crime. 
and what really gets me is that the woman was just trying to drive away from the agents and now she's dead 
...it's just so senseless.
but at the same time, i don't think we should just magically expect everything to be okay because some people are demanding that federal agencies leave...it's a complex issue with no easy answers 
.
.
frey is right though, the presence of ICE in minneapolis is toxic and needs to go ASAP. and yeah, Noem's defense of that agent is straight outta a bad cop movie 
kristi noem is literally a nightmare 
i dont think we should be blaming the woman for trying to protect herself either, thats just more bulls**t 
. How can someone do that and expect no consequences? It's like they were just trying to get her car back or something 
. Maybe it'll make a difference if the city takes a stand like that. But at the same time, you can't just ignore the complexities of immigration and border security either... 
.

it's all just so messed up...
I'm so worried about this woman who lost her life... it's just not right that she had to die because of a traffic stop gone wrong 
. It's like, can't we just treat everyone with respect and kindness? 
We need better training for our law enforcement officers to handle situations like this 
. And what's up with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem saying the woman committed an "act of domestic terrorism"? That's not even close to what happened 
. It's time for us to have a national conversation about how we can create safer, more inclusive communities for everyone 
.
. On a serious note, can't our cities just have some chill with these agencies? It's like they're more of a nuisance than a solution 
. And what's up with Kristi Noem's claim that the woman was committing domestic terrorism? That's some crazy stuff right there 
Anyway, I think Frey is totally right, though, the whole thing was just a mess! You can't just leave people hanging like that and expect them to just get out of their car, it's not how it works. And what really gets me is that one of the agents claimed she was doing "domestic terrorism"... lol yeah right! That's just ridiculous. 
I mean, we've seen some wild stuff go down in the name of enforcing immigration laws but this takes the cake... or should I say, the car? 
I'm shocked by this incident, honestly it's a nightmare come true! #JusticeForTheVictim The presence of ICE in Minneapolis seems to be causing more harm than good 
. We need to think about the safety and well-being of all residents, regardless of their immigration status 
. ICE should leave Minneapolis ASAP, it's time for a change! 
and now the mayor is demanding they LEAVE THE CITY IMMEDIATELY 
. Can't believe the White House Deputy Chief of Staff is defending the agent who opened fire, saying she committed an "act of domestic terrorism" 
. We need more accountability and transparency in law enforcement agencies, especially when it comes to interactions with immigrant communities 
. The mayor is trying to protect residents from what they perceive as excessive enforcement
