ICE agents were involved in a shooting in Minneapolis earlier today, and a woman is dead after authorities said she allegedly tried to ram law enforcement with her vehicle.
Local Authorities held a press conference this afternoon to discuss the shooting, and Mayor Jacob Frey blamed ICE for the violence, saying claims of self-defense are "bulls**t."
🚨Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fray says they're conducting an investigation to get to the bottom of the ICE-involved shooting...then puts 100% of the blame on ICE.

"They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I can tell everybody… pic.twitter.com/x5y1L6Foun
This is despite several videos showing the woman tried to strike an ICE agent.

Frey also told ICE to "get the f***" out of his city.

He called the claim of self-defense a "garbage narrative" and when asked about video that showed her driving towards agents, Frey said he didn't think they showed that at all.
SHAMELESS!

Frey reiterated multiple times in the press conference that ICE should leave his city and his state.
Reporter: She wasn't driving the car toward [the ICE agent], using her vehicle as a weapon?

Mayor Frey: That does not appear to be the case at all. pic.twitter.com/LofdWh6OEo
That's clearly the case.
