Tensions between Minnesota and federal officials deepened over a US Immigration agent’s fatal shooting of a 37-year-old mother of three in Minneapolis, an incident that drew condemnation from local officials and sparked widespread protests in the state and beyond.
Speaking to reporters during a White House briefing, US Vice President JD Vance said that President Trump and himself ‘stood with ICE’ and he said the woman who was killed was ‘part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job’, which has not been confirmed.
Vance added the ICE agent who fatally shot the woman had previously been dragged by a vehicle and injured. Vance said the officer “nearly had his life ended” after being dragged by a car six months ago, causing an injury requiring more than 30 stitches in his leg.
