This is Trump’s masked ICE agent, who shot the woman in Minneapolis, fleeing from the scene about 90 seconds after the shooting.
You can hear a witness yelling, “Don’t let the murderer leave.”

ICE agents tackled & arrested a 20 y/o Somalian-American man in Minneapolis Tuesday & “detained him for about two hours for no apparent reason other than his ethnicity. The man who was arrested said that the agents had trouble finding the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building at Ft. Snelling.”
