The piece cites video that appears to show the woman attempting to run down an agent with her vehicle, and quotes DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin describing the act as a &#8220;weaponized&#8221; vehicle attack and domestic terrorism. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >article accuses mainstream outlets<\/a> (NBC, The Guardian, USA Today, The New York Times) of downplaying the car-ramming in their headlines and coverage, rather emphasizing officials who dispute the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/actblue-fined-for-facilitating-nearly-44000-in-illegal-contributions\/\" title=\"ActBlue Fined for Facilitating Nearly ,000 in Illegal Contributions\">federal account<\/a> or characterizations of the operation. Fleetwood frames this as part of a broader pattern of legacy media vilifying immigration enforcement and obscuring violence directed at ICE officers.  <\/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<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mvm0BGGgJ0Y\">CNN\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/01\/07\/media-dont-want-you-to-know-anti-ice-driver-in-minneapolis-rammed-agents-with-her-car\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Media%20Don%E2%80%99t%20Want%20You%20To%20Know%20Anti-ICE%20Driver%20In%20Minneapolis%20Rammed%20Agents%20With%20Her%20Car&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/01\/07\/media-dont-want-you-to-know-anti-ice-driver-in-minneapolis-rammed-agents-with-her-car\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Media%20Don%E2%80%99t%20Want%20You%20To%20Know%20Anti-ICE%20Driver%20In%20Minneapolis%20Rammed%20Agents%20With%20Her%20Car&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/01\/07\/media-dont-want-you-to-know-anti-ice-driver-in-minneapolis-rammed-agents-with-her-car\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/01\/07\/media-dont-want-you-to-know-anti-ice-driver-in-minneapolis-rammed-agents-with-her-car\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Media%20Don%E2%80%99t%20Want%20You%20To%20Know%20Anti-ICE%20Driver%20In%20Minneapolis%20Rammed%20Agents%20With%20Her%20Car&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/01\/07\/media-dont-want-you-to-know-anti-ice-driver-in-minneapolis-rammed-agents-with-her-car\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>It didn&rsquo;t take long, but America&rsquo;s propaganda media have (unsurprisingly) already begun to whitewash the anti-ICE violence at the heart of a shooting involving U.S. immigration officials.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, a U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/media-rush-to-whitewash-car-ramming-in-ice-shooting-coverage\/\" title=\"Media Rush To Whitewash ...
