This is Harry Fones, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security.

This week, PHS law enforcement surged over 2,000 officers and agents to the sanctuary city of Minneapolis to investigate the rampant fraud in the state of Minnesota and conduct targeted immigration enforcement operations.

Tragically, on Wednesday, we saw the direct consequences of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians.

a woman weaponized her vehicle to obstruct law enforcement.

When officers commanded her to get out of the vehicle several times, she ignored them and attempted to run over federal law enforcement officers.

An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement, and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots at the vehicle, resulting in the death of the driver.

He used his training, and he saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.

Our prayers are with our officers, the deceased, and her family.

We have been very clear.

We stand with our law enforcement as they work tirelessly to make communities across the nation safer.

Okay, there you go.
