At a news conference this afternoon, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara described the deceased as a 37-year-old white woman.

He said that she was not the subject of any immigration actions.

This incident comes as the Department of Homeland Security is stepping up immigration enforcement in the Minneapolis-St.

Paul area with what the department says is 2,000 agents.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited the area yesterday.

Administration officials immediately tried to take control of the narrative.

On social media, DHS called the woman a, quote, violent rioter who, quote, weaponized her vehicle.

The agency says the ICE agent fired in self-defense.

The president also posted on his website saying the woman was obviously a professional agitator.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem spoke to reporters about the incident during a news conference today in Texas.

However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry was clearly angry during his own news conference today.

He called the ICE officers' actions reckless and said Noam's version of events is not what happened.

And using another expletive, Fry said ICE should get out of Minneapolis.

He added that the Trump administration is trying to sow chaos and that he and city leaders had feared exactly this outcome when ICE started its enforcement push here.

He says the FBI and Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are investigating and added that most law enforcement agencies train their officers to avoid situations like this where they have to use deadly force.

And just quickly, Minnesota's governor, has he weighed in?

Governor Tim Walz, also a Democrat, said he is preparing to mobilize Minnesota's National Guard.

Walz called the administration's operations dangerous and sensationalized and a threat to public safety.
