ICE thugs in the US city of Minneapolis have murdered a ‘legal observer’ attempting to monitor their raid on a suburb in the south of the city – knowing they were being filmed by other civil rights activists. Yet their boss Kristi Noem still tried to claim that the agents killed the woman in self-defence.
ICE: now murderers as well in Minneapolis
Noem’s DHS claimed that the victim, who an ICE agent shot in the face at close range with her wife and pet dog in the car, was a “violent rioter” who allegedly attempted to run over an immigration officer, masked ICE agents. However, eyewitnesses reported that ICE agents:
ordered a legal observer to turn her car around, and as she was obeying orders and doing so, they shot her in the face multiple times. Reports are that she died from her injuries. That was not self defense. That was an execution. They executed an American citizen.
Video footage corroborates the eyewitnesses testimony.
One of the longest clips shows the woman attempting to ‘three point turn’ her car to leave the scene before agents then approach the car intending to drag her out. An agent fires through the car window at point-blank range as she tries to get away.
As onlookers recording the incident scream in horror and outrage, the apparent ICE perpetrator ensures his face remains covered before getting into a vehicle and leaving the scene, followed by his accomplices:

A shorter clip shows just the deadly incident:

US law does not allow police or agents – ICE or otherwise – to kill someone for fleeing when there is no threat.
Locals who have gathered to protest the murder are now being attacked by masked and armed ICE agents, as video published by Minnesota journalist Dymanh Chhoun shows. As happened with sensitive footage yesterday, X is now allowing the post to be embedded, so the video has been inserted directly below:

Racist liars
The murder has provoked widespread revulsion – but also a mass campaign by ‘MAGA’ accounts and bots to propagate the “violent rioter” lie:

Far-right racist Elon Musk also amplified these lies:
She tried to run people over

ICE, often compared to Trump’s version of Hitler’s ‘brownshirts’, has conducted mass raids on apartment blocks, detained and deported child US citizens including one with cancer and murdered people innocently going about their daily business, in a naked display of the fascism or a Trump regime that has designated anti-fascism as terrorism and threatened to kill those who dare oppose. Its fascism continues to escalate.
