The story is developing local channels KARE11 & KSTP are covering it live.
The story now is ICE shot a woman in her head while she was in a car. DHS is claiming woman rammed her car into ICE vehicle.
This is in a residential neighborhood. 34th & Portland Ave.

Maybe ICE has decided that randomly shooting bystanders every now and then will deter protests.
It's on national news, MS NOW.

(129,183 posts)I question whether any "ramming" occurred at all.

(28,558 posts)ICE hit a woman's car, came back and abducted her, and accused her of hitting them.
They were caught on video lying.
Bet that's what happened here.
dflprincess
(29,182 posts)They did not do the ramming this time
Either way they're lying.

(17,764 posts)it's not like those ICEholes are known for telling the truth.
I would imagine that there is video footage of this and it will be posted PDQ by witnesses.
orangecrush
(28,558 posts)It sounds from reports like they fled the scene
MarineCombatEngineer
(17,764 posts)Could it be because this was an outright murder?
Given ICEhole past behavior, methinks so.

(28,558 posts)"5 EYEWITNESS NEWS reporters on the scene saw an area blocked off with a large number of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the intersection. Chopper footage captured an SUV appearing to be carrying federal agents deploying chemical irritants as it tried to escape through an alley."

(17,764 posts)it would seem that ICE bit off more than they can chew this time and I hope and pray that this is the final straw against the terrorist org. ICE and its leaders, Kristi Noem and Trumpedo.
Ocelot II
(129,183 posts)There's bound to be video of the shooting itself somewhere.
Portland is a one-way street, southbound; the other lane we're seeing on TV is a bike lane. So it's not likely that the car came from the opposite direction to block or ram the ICE vehicle.

They also read a report from ICE, their official statement, claiming the car drove through a roadblock and hit an ICE officer, who fired defensively. They claim the people at the scene were "violent rioters" and this was an act of "domestic terrorism." Hard to believe anything coming from ICE, so let's see the video.

(129,183 posts)right into the driver's side window, and then the driver tried to drive away and crashed her car into a parked car. A neighbor and tried to administer first aid. Doesn't sound much like what ICE claimed.
dflprincess
(29,182 posts)And this was "defensive".
Never mind it contradicts all eye witness reports. Hopefully there will be lots of videos that makes it clear DHS is lying.

(129,183 posts)and then she tried to drive away, struck someone and crashed the car. I didn't see any "rioters."

Tina Smith's office just confirmed the victim is a US citizen. Not that that should matter but earlier DHS implied she was fleeing arrest. (Though they seemed to have dropped that claim a while ago.)

ScratchCat
(2,688 posts)Regardless of who commits the act.
State governors and Attorney Generals need to announce that ICE and DHS will not be given the benefit of the doubt and any agents involved in a shooting will be automatically detained under State law pending an investigation. While agents have the legal authority to perform their duties, they do not have authority to violate State criminal statutes in the performance of their duties.

(17,068 posts)"An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots, the statement said. He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.
I saw the video that someone posted on BlueSky, which appears to have now been taken down. That video does not align with this explanation - not that THAT surprises anyone.

(29,182 posts)The agent was not in danger. This was murder.

(27,388 posts)Its the new thing among cops. Step in front of a moving vehicle and then shoot the driver. Ive seen dozens of these videos and the cop always gets away with it.
Teenagers, mothers with kids in the car, disoriented seniors. It doesnt matter. Cops get their kill. The ice agent will probably get a tattoo.

(923 posts)The only car she ran into was a little red Honda after she was shot. A later report showed the front of her vehicle and I didn't note any bullet holes in the windshield (not saying there wasn't one, just that I didn't observe it). If an ICE officer "feared for his life" one would surmise that the victim would have been going straight at him. First impressions don't lead to that explanation.

(1,363 posts)ICE is a paramilitary, mercenary, vigilante force dreamed up by the 2025 project.
What you see on the video is murder -- the summary execution of someone who was trying to evade
the very violence that killed her.
The man who shot her showed complete disregard for her life and safety.
She was nowhere near an ICE vehicle -- there was a white vehicle beside her car, not in front.
Three ICE agents aggressively approach her car with clear intent that they were going to drag her out of her car.
Kristi Neom just shamelessly lied her ass off to blame the victim and exonerate the agent.
The people in power right now -- Trump and his minions -- are shameless, immoral, dangerous, and lawless.
Steven Miller, who is evil incarnate, was quite open about the Trump Doctrine:
The hemisphere belongs to us (white American fascists)
Fuck the Constitution, fuck NATO, fuck the U.N., and fuck the World Court.
We decide what the law is.
We can do whatever we please and there's nothing you spineless people can do about it.
We intend to purge the country of as many minorities that we can.
We intend to suppress the vote and rig the system.
We will flood the media with lies and propaganda because the 1st amendment applies to us only.
Might makes right. Laws are irrelevant.
We want to instill fear into anyone who would stand in our way.
Believe only what we tell you -- don't believe your eyes or the facts.
Our goal is to impose our will on the world while enriching ourselves.
We are running everything, preferably by force and violence.
This is not hyperbole or exaggeration. The shit has hit the proverbial fan!
They are inciting protest, conflict and violence as a pretense to take over all the levers of government.
They will use it to justify actions to override our democracy.
Trump is drooling over the prospect of declaring martial law.
The National Guard is already deployed in U.S. cities for the patently bogus reason of "crime control".
They have inflated the numbers of ICE with thugs. It is now a paramilitary agency -- not law enforcement.
They have murdered foreign citizens by extrajudicial executions.
They have invaded a sovereign nation -- Venezuela -- removed its president, and they are threatening others.
Maduro is a bad character -- so are Putin, Hernandez, Kim Jong Un, and Erdogan, and Bolsonaro.
The DOJ and SCOTUS are regime puppets, enabling this lawlessness.
Trump has already joked about canceling elections. It's not a joke. It's a tell.
They fully plan to contest the midterm election results when they lose.
Trump has no intention at all to leave the White House -- ever.
He is counting on weak opposition and his violent, brainwashed supporters to keep him in power.
If we don't win the midterms and impeach these criminals, we are deeply screwed........

Two ICE agents approached the driver's side. One tried to open the driver's door while the other was standing alongside the left front fender. The driver reversed briefly, then shifted to drive and moved forward with the wheels turned to the right, away from the agent standing near the left fender. That agent pulled his gun and fired a single shot through the windshield.
That was by no means a ramming attempt. ICE wildly overreacted.
ETA: Holy shit, Noem's description of the event is literal Bizarro World. Like what the actual fuck is this right here.
I generally try to give law enforcement the benefit of the doubt a lot of the time, but goddamn...

(195,036 posts)She backed up too so the guy on the left fender had to have been advancing towards her.

(3,424 posts)I saw a still image of the windshield and there was only one bullet hole visible, unless I missed it.
Either way, Mayor Frey is correct. No ICE agent was in danger of being struck by the vehicle. It's also worth noting that quite a few police departments have changed their use-of-force rules regarding officers firing at a moving vehicle in self-defense, with some forbidding it altogether.
Clearly ICE has different use-of-force rules or no rules at all.
