The US Department of Homeland Security

on Wednesday defended a federal immigration
[[link removed]] enforcement agent for
fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis by claiming that the slain
woman was committing “an act of domestic terrorism” by
“attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt
to kill them.”
However, footage of the incident taken by eyewitnesses shows that the
driver was slowly trying to pull away from the scene shortly before an
officer fired four shots at her vehicle.
The start of one video shows the woman sitting in her car, which was
stationed perpendicular to the street. Several officers are then seen
approaching the car with at least one of them telling her to exit.
It’s unclear what directions other officers may have been giving
simultaneously.
When one of the officers tries to open the car door, the vehicle moves
slowly backward as the wheels turn, before starting to move forward.
As the vehicle moves forward, an agent standing near the driver-side
bumper—who the driver may not have even seen, given her attention to
the other agent at her door—draws his gun and fires multiple shots
at the driver.
Only after the gunfire does the vehicle accelerate before crashing
into an electric pole and another parked car.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said
[[link removed]] during a press
conference on Wednesday that the video footage, in his mind, shows
that DHS claims about the woman engaging in “domestic terrorism”
is complete “garbage.”
“So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of
self-defense,” he said. “Having seen the video of myself, I want
to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit. This was an agent
recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying.”
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz [[link removed]]
echoed Frey’s comments in a social media
[[link removed]] post.
“I’ve seen the video,” said
[[link removed]] Walz. “Don’t
believe this propaganda machine. The state will ensure there is a
full, fair, and expeditious investigation to ensure accountability and
justice.”
