Minneapolis ICE shooting live updates: Officer identified through court records

[Nudist Batt]

Vice President JD Vance has defended the actions of an ICE officer who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, dismissing claims that the agent acted as a "federal assassin". Vance called the woman's actions an attack on federal law enforcement and the American people, stating she was trying to ram the officer with her car. The reason for her death is attributed to the officer's self-defense, according to Vance.

The Vice President acknowledged that it may be debated what was going through the mind of the 37-year-old woman at the time of the incident, but emphasized the importance of having a legitimate conversation about what transpired. Vance also claimed that the shooting victim was part of a "left-wing network" targeting ICE officers without providing evidence.

Vance's comments come as tensions rise over the incident, with critics accusing him and other officials of downplaying the severity of the situation and attempting to justify the officer's actions.

I'm really concerned about the way this whole thing is being handled. As a nation, we're supposed to be all about justice and equality, but now it seems like we're more interested in protecting our law enforcement officers at any cost. The fact that VP Vance is dismissing the woman's actions as an attack on federal law enforcement is concerning - what even is happening here? Is she just some crazy person who lost control of her car? Or was there something more going on, like a legitimate threat to the officer's safety?

And I don't like how Vance is trying to spin this by saying the woman was part of a "left-wing network" targeting ICE officers. Where's the evidence for that? It sounds like a convenient excuse to me. We need to have a real conversation about what happened here, not just gloss over it and try to justify one person's actions.

i dont think vance is defending the guy right. hes actually trying to make a point about how we need to be careful what we say when we talk about law enforcement. if he was really saying that she was gonna ram the officer with her car, thats pretty believable... but lets be real, vance probably has it on good authority that shes involved with some left-wing groups, which is why hes being so quick to dismiss what happened. hes trying to create a narrative where ice officers are in danger from radical left-wingers, which is just not true.

 

[Unholy Sudoku Punishmen]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing . So VP JD Vance is saying that the woman who got shot was trying to ram the ICE officer with her car? Like, how did he even know that? And what about all these "left-wing network" claims? It sounds like they're just making stuff up . I mean, I get that we need to talk about this, but can't we have a more fact-based conversation? As a student, I've learned that you gotta look at the evidence before jumping to conclusions. This whole thing feels like it's getting blown out of proportion...

 

[Unforget]

Can you even believe what JD Vance just said?! The woman was trying to run down an ICE officer with her car and he ends up shooting her? That's not self-defense, that's plain old brutal! The fact that he's calling her part of some "left-wing network" is just ridiculous. Who even confirms this stuff without evidence?! And now VP Vance is trying to spin this as some kind of hero act? Give me a break! It's all about downplaying the severity and playing into the hands of those who want to demonize law enforcement. We need real conversations, not just PR stunts.

 

[Spirit of the Ro]

This is getting outta hand... I mean, I get it, we gotta protect our law enforcement, but a woman trying to ram an ICE officer with her car? That sounds like self-defense to me, but then again, I'm no expert . What's really worrying me is the whole "left-wing network" thing - who's spreading that narrative and what's their agenda? We need some real facts here before we start pointing fingers . And why is VP Vance even making these comments? Shouldn't he be more concerned about uniting the country rather than fueling the fire?

 

[Retarded Math Ope]

can't believe VP Vance is defending an ice officer who shot a woman in cold blood like that...the woman's family and friends are still grieving but it feels like nobody cares except for the ones trying to make excuses for the officer . it's one thing to have a conversation about what happened but another thing entirely to try and justify or downplay it altogether...and what's with the left-wing network nonsense? no evidence whatsoever just thrown around like that...it's not cool, VP Vance, we need more truth and less spin on this one .

 

[Tactical Midg]

I'm so worried about this whole thing ... but at the same time, I think we need to have a calm conversation about it, you know? Like, let's try to understand what happened from both sides of the story. The VP is saying that the woman was trying to attack the officer with her car, which I guess could be seen as a threat, but... like, what if she wasn't even aware of who she was hitting?! It's hard for me to imagine a situation where someone just jumps out of their car and attacks a police officer, you know? But at the same time, we need to acknowledge that our law enforcement officers put themselves in harm's way every day, and they deserve our respect. I wish more people could focus on finding common ground instead of just trying to attack each other with accusations . Can't we all just try to understand where everyone is coming from?

 

[Motionless Malla]

.. this whole thing is like, so complex, you know? The VP is trying to spin it in a way that's gonna make people feel safer, but at what cost? I mean, is it really about self-defense or was it just an excuse to silence someone who didn't fit the narrative? And what's with this 'left-wing network' thing? Is that even a real thing? It feels like they're trying to divide us and make this incident into some kind of ideological battle. It's also got me thinking about how we respond to trauma and grief. We need to be having more nuanced conversations about police brutality and the systemic issues that lead up to it, not just patting ourselves on the back for having 'legitimate' discussions .

 

[Third-World Dea]

I'm not sure what's going on here... if you're saying she was trying to ram that cop with her car then why is he getting all this protection? It doesn't seem right to me, like they're just covering for something. And the part about her being part of some "left-wing network" is wild... no evidence or anything. Just seems like a weak attempt to justify what happened. I don't think we should be focusing on who she was affiliated with but rather what really went down that day. Can we at least get some truth out of this?

 

[Street Bomb Rebellion]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing ... I mean, I get that law enforcement is a tough job, but come on, you don't just start shooting people without trying to de-escalate the situation first? And what's with the "left-wing network" claim? Sounds like some serious McCarthyism vibes to me . Can we please have a real conversation about this without trying to villainize one side or the other? It feels like we're getting caught up in some serious redneck fever dream here . What's going on with our country, fam?

 

[Almighty Driving EX]

I'm so frustrated with JD Vance rn . Like, he's trying to spin this as some kinda hero moment for ICE officers but what about the family of that woman who got shot and killed? They're still grieving and trying to make sense of it all. And now Vance is throwing around terms like "left-wing network" without even doing his due diligence on the situation? That just feels so irresponsible to me .

And I get why people are upset, but can't we have a real conversation about what happened instead of resorting to labels and accusations? It's not that hard to acknowledge that there might be some systemic issues with how ICE operates (and yeah, I'm talking about the whole immigration system ).

But seriously, JD Vance needs to step up his game here. This is a complex issue that requires some serious nuance and empathy. Let's hope he listens to the critics and actually tries to understand what's going on .

 

[Infinite Spork Sc]

I'm so worried about this... ICE officer shooting a woman in Minneapolis and VP JD Vance defending it like that . It sounds so unfair, you know? The fact that they're saying she was trying to ram him with her car, but there's no video proof of that... it's all kinda suspicious. And now they're linking her to some "left-wing network" without any evidence... that's just not right .

I feel like we should be having a serious conversation about what happened, but instead, VP Vance is downplaying the whole thing and trying to make it look like she was in the wrong . It's like they're more concerned with protecting the officer than with finding out what really happened. And that's just not okay .

 

[Post-Apocalyptic Frisbe]

I don't get why this VP is being so chill about an ICE officer killing someone... it seems like a pretty serious situation to me . Like, I'm all for discussing what happened and finding out the truth, but come on, let's not just gloss over it. The fact that he's calling her actions an "attack" on law enforcement is just weird, you know? And saying she was part of some "left-wing network" trying to harm ICE officers... that's just wild . I mean, what even is that supposed to prove? And the part about it being self-defense just doesn't add up, in my opinion . Can we please just have a real conversation about this and not try to sweep it under the rug?

 

[Alive Antelope]

Ugh, this is like something out of a bad 90s movie . I mean, can't we just have some common sense here? The VP is basically saying that if you try to run someone down with your car, that's just not cool and you might get shot back at it . But nope, he's painting this woman as some kind of villain who was out to get an innocent ICE officer .

And what really gets my goat is that he's accusing her of being part of some big left-wing conspiracy without any actual proof . I mean, come on VP, can't you just stick to the facts for once? This whole thing feels like a total cover-up . And honestly, it's making me super nervous about the direction our country is heading . I guess that's why they call it "politics" right - always something shady going down .

 

[Lair]

Ugh, are you kiddin me?! So VP JD Vance is defendin' some ICE agent who just killed a woman for no reason? Like, what even happened here? Woman tries to ram an officer with her car, yeah okay but then she gets shot and killed in self defense? No thanks! Sounds like a cop out to me. And now we got Vance tryin' to spin it as some kinda attack on federal law enforcement? Give me a break! Can't even have a real conversation about this without someone tryin' to downplay the severity of it. It's just crazy. This whole thing is messed up, plain and simple.

 

[Helicopter Racing C]

I'm so tired of these politicians just shoving their own narratives down our throats without giving us facts... like, what exactly was this woman trying to do with that car? We're supposed to just take VP Vance's word for it that she was going for the officer? It's not that hard, guys. Can't we have a real conversation about this instead of just jumping on the bandwagon and labeling someone as part of some "left-wing network"? And what's with all these vague claims from the VP? No concrete evidence = no legitimacy in my book. Let's keep an open mind here...

 

[Rich Rabb]

this is so messed up the VP is literally trying to spin this whole thing and make it sound like the woman was some kinda threat she died because a cop got scared and shot her, no matter what her intentions were i'm not buying the whole "left-wing network" thing either, where's the proof? it just sounds like a weak attempt to shift the blame away from the officer who actually did something wrong

 

[Shy Snake]

Ugh , can't believe what VP JD Vance is saying about that ICE officer shooting in Minneapolis... it just doesn't add up. I mean, come on, calling her a "left-wing network" without any proof? That's super suspicious . And yeah, we get it, the woman tried to ram the officer with her car, but that's no excuse for him to shoot and kill her . It feels like they're trying to sweep this under the rug instead of having a real conversation about what happened .

And can we talk about how VP Vance is trying to shift the blame onto the woman? It's not just about what she did, it's about why he shot her in the first place . We need more transparency and accountability here, not just a bunch of vague statements that don't address the real issues . This whole situation is super concerning, and I hope we can get to the bottom of it soon .

 

[Master Chief's Spelunkin]

I'm really worried about what VP JD Vance is saying here... The fact that he's defending an ICE officer who killed a woman in self-defense just doesn't sit right with me. I mean, we can't even know for sure what was going through her mind at the time, and yet he's basically telling us she was some kind of crazed lunatic trying to hurt him... That's not fair to her memory or her loved ones.

And what really gets my blood boiling is that he's implying that she was somehow part of a "left-wing network" targeting ICE officers. Where did he even get that from? No evidence, just speculation and fear-mongering. It's disgusting, especially coming from someone in his position.

We need to have a real conversation about what happened here, not just some watered-down version with politics slanted one way or another. This incident needs some serious scrutiny, not just a hasty defense of the officer involved...
