Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.
Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.
Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

What a distillation of the Trump-Vance-Rubio legacy.
Young woman in Michigan says "this is not just a foreign issue, it's our tax dollars being used to commit these war crimes," referring to Venezuela.
…Then police arrest her, on camera, for "obstructing" & "failure to obey."

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Masked agents that your taxes pay for just shot someone in the head — someone who was specifically there simply to observe, and make sure they wouldn't do exactly that

Growing crowd here at 34th and Portland in south Minneapolis, where witnesses tell me an ICE agent shot an observer in her car. Witnesses said she was not responsive and was taken away. Bovino is on scene along with dozens of federal agents.

I’m following news of a reported shooting of a legal observer by ICE agents in South Minneapolis.
I’ll continue to monitor the situation closely and will update as soon as I receive information.
ICE must stop terrorizing our communities and leave our city.

Looking like the person ICE shot in Minneapolis was a legal observer
"Minneapolis Ward 8 City Council representative Soren Stevenson writing on social media the shooting involved an observer, a volunteer who documents ICE activity during operations and raids."

DHS tweeted this yesterday. Little more than 24 hours later, ICE agents just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis.

TL;DR: *Please* do not shorten "Legal Observer" to "observer." It's a title with a specific role. It's a role that can be dangerous, possibly like today in Minneapolis. It's a role that is extremely important.

I am on the ground with other council members near Portland and 33rd St E in the Central neighborhood where residents saw federal agents shoot a legal observer. This is a terrifying escalation of Trump’s attacks on our communities. ICE out of Minneapolis NOW.
