US EditionDemocrats Condemn ‘Horrifying’ ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
The Department of Homeland Security launched a probe after an ICE agent fatally shot a woman during a targeted immigration enforcement operation amid disputed claims of self-defense.
- On Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman during a DHS operation in Minneapolis, and DHS said the agent `fired defensive shots` after an alleged ramming attempt.
- Amid an expanded DHS operation in Minnesota, critics led by U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar say `they are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense`, criticizing aggressive tactics and masked agents, according to Frey.
- Officials immediately offered conflicting interpretations, with Escobar calling DHS's claim `a blatant lie` after videos circulated showing the woman trying to drive away, while Frey disputed the self-defense account.
- The FBI and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension opened probes after the shooting, and Escobar urged a thorough investigation, saying `The Department of Homeland Security is not making Americans more safe, they are doing the opposite.`
- Beyond investigations, House Republicans X account reposted DHS claims of an 8,000% increase in death threats, which critics disputed, while Will Boyd condemned Tuberville's `shoot back` rhetoric.
