MINNEAPOLIS, Jan 7 (Reuters) - A U.S. immigration agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in her car in Minneapolis on Wednesday amid an immigration enforcement surge, according to local and federal officials, the latest violent incident during President Donald Trump's nationwide crackdown on migrants.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey adamantly rejected the Trump administration's claim that the agent fired in self-defense, saying he has seen video of the shooting that directly contradicts what he called the government's "garbage narrative."
"They're already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense," he said at a press conference. "Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly - that is bullshit."
A visibly angry Frey said federal immigration agents were responsible for sowing chaos in the city, telling ICE: "Get the fuck out of Minneapolis." But he also urged residents to remain calm.
The shooting drew protesters into the streets near the scene, some of whom were met by heavily armed federal agents wearing gas masks who fired chemical irritants at the demonstrators.
