Minneapolis ICE‑involved shooting kills 37‑year‑old mother. In one video, an ICE officer approaches an SUV stopped in the middle of a residential street. The vehicle begins to move forward. Another ICE officer, who was standing in front of the SUV, drew his weapon and fired at least two shots into the vehicle while jumping out of the way. It is unclear whether the vehicle actually struck the officer.
