Mary Louise Kelly

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.

Hey there, Matt.

Hi, Mary Louise.

Start with just the backdrop here.

ICE has been on the ground.

They've been in Minneapolis last year, now again at the beginning of this year.

So update from there to what happened this morning?

Okay, and then what is the Trump administration?

What is their account of what happened this morning?

Because so far they've said the shooting was justified.

Let me ask about reaction from other stakeholders as we try to sort through what we know and what we don't.

You mentioned Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara joined the mayor at the press conference.

What else did he say?

Reporting there from Matt Sepik with Minnesota Public Radio.

Thank you.

You're welcome.
