Today in Minneapolis, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a woman.

The Department of Homeland Security described the woman as a violent rioter who attempted to run over law enforcement officers.

Here's Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

But the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, a Democrat, says the video paints a different picture.

Consider this an immigration crackdown gone wrong.

What do we know?

It is a little past 6 p.m.

Eastern on Wednesday, and here's what we know.

On Wednesday morning in Minneapolis, a 37-year-old woman was shot dead by a federal immigration officer.

The circumstances around the shooting are hotly disputed.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the woman attacked federal immigration officers and attempted to ram them with her vehicle.

A DHS statement says an ICE officer feared for his life and for public safety and fired defensive shots.

Minnesota politicians who have seen the video of the incident strongly contradict this account.

Joining us from Minneapolis is reporter Matt Sepik of Minnesota Public Radio.
