The Department of Homeland Security saeid protesters were blocking ICE officers when a woman allegedly &#8220;weaponized her vehicle&#8221; and tried to run over agents; an ICE officer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/border-patrol-agents-opened-fire-in-chicago-as-10-cars-boxed-them-in-shot-armed-cbp-stalker\/\" title=\"Border Patrol ...

Local reports describe a burgundy SUV with a bullet hole that struck a light pole and say crowds later gathered, throwing objects and prompting the use of chemical irritants to disperse them. Mayor Jacob Frey called for ICE to leave the city, asserting their presence was causing chaos and expressing solidarity with immigrant communities. DHS characterized the attack as domestic terrorism and blamed political rhetoric around sanctuary policies; authorities said the scene remained under examination as federal enforcement in Minneapolis is being expanded, perhaps bringing thousands of agents.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were involved in the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/woman-shot-dead-in-minneapolis-while-attempting-to-ram-ice-dhs\/\" title=\"... shot dead in ... while attempting to ram ...: DHS\">violent rioters weaponized<\/a> her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them &mdash; an act of domestic terrorism,&rdquo; the Department of Homeland Security <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DHSgov\/status\/2008958123092979817\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.
