"Get The F*** Out": Mayor Frey Explodes at ICE After Fatal Minneapolis Shooting | WATCH

The city of Minneapolis has become a volatile ground for a high stakes political and legal battle following a fatal shooting involving federal immigration agents on Wednesday morning. The incident occurred during what has been described as a massive enforcement operation involving approximately 2,000 agents targeting alleged fraud within the local Somali community. The situation turned lethal at the intersection of 34th Street and Portland Avenue when an ICE officer discharged his weapon, killing a 37 year old white woman who had been acting as an anti-ICE "legal observer." The shooting has triggered a profane and furious response from local leadership, with Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz openly challenging the federal narrative of self-defense.

Mayor Jacob Frey did not hold back during a heated news conference, launching a blistering attack on the federal agency. "ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis," Frey shouted to the gathered media, adding that the agency’s claim of acting in self-defense was "bulls***." The Mayor insisted that federal agents have no role in the city’s public safety and accused the Trump administration of intentionally creating chaos. "They are not here to cause safety in this city. They’re ripping families apart. They’re sowing chaos on our streets and in this case quite literally killing people," Frey stated. Governor Tim Walz echoed these sentiments, urging the public to ignore what he called the "propaganda machine" and claiming that he had seen video footage that contradicts the federal account.

Despite the intense criticism from city hall, federal authorities and law enforcement experts are pointing to evidence that suggests the shooting was a response to an attempted ramming. Video footage circulating online appears to show the woman being ordered to exit her vehicle before she accelerated toward an ICE agent, striking him with the car. Investigators noted a crucial physical detail, the bullet hole is located in the front windshield of the vehicle. According to experts, this indicates that the agent was directly in the path of the oncoming car and used his firearm to stop a deadly ramming attempt rather than firing into the side of a fleeing vehicle. The Department of Homeland Security released a statement standing by the agents, characterizing the incident as a clear case of self-defense.

The neighborhood remains on edge as protesters gather to chant "ICE out of Minnesota" and "Shame!" Law enforcement has already used pepper spray to disperse crowds, and reports of flag burning have further heightened tensions. While local religious leaders, such as the Reverend Hierald Osorto, describe a community gripped by fear and anxiety, federal officials like Gregory Bovino insist that the operations are lawful and necessary. As the state and federal investigations move forward, the divide between the Minneapolis municipal government and the Department of Homeland Security has deepened into an open war over the limits of federal power in American cities.
