a fatal ICE-involved shooting in Minnesota, Russia sounds off as another oil tanker is seized, and will California require voter ID? I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley. It's Wednesday, January 7th, and this is Evening Wire.
A woman was fatally shot by ICE in Minneapolis after officials say she tried to run over agents with her car.
What happened in the fatal ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis?
The Department of Homeland Security says officers were blocked by a group of people when the woman allegedly accelerated toward them, prompting an ICE officer to fire in self-defense. Here's DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
It was an act of domestic terrorism. What happened was our ICE officers were out in enforcement action. They got stuck in the snow because of the adverse weather that is in Minneapolis. They were attempting to push out their vehicle and a woman attacked them and those surrounding them and attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle. An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively shot to protect himself and the people around him. And my understanding is that she was hit and is deceased.
video posted on social media appears to show the woman's vehicle hitting an officer before shots are fired. But Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey is saying ICE is to blame and demanding they leave the city. To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety and you are doing exactly the opposite. People are being hurt. Families are being ripped apart. Long term Minneapolis residents that have contributed so greatly to our city, to our culture, to our economy are being terrorized and now somebody is dead.
Russia is demanding proper and humane treatment of crew members after American forces seized a sanctioned oil tanker in the North Atlantic. The vessel, known as the Maranera, was seized today between Iceland and the British Isles under a U.S. court order. Moscow says Russian nationals may be among the crew and wants them returned home. However, the White House has rejected that demand.
Again, this was a Venezuelan shadow fleet vessel that has transported sanctioned oil. The vessel was deemed stateless after flying a false flag, and it had a judicial seizure order. And that's why the crew will be subject to prosecution.
President Trump has announced that Venezuela will transfer between 30 and 50 million barrels of sanctioned oil to the U.S. Daily Wire foreign affairs reporter Cassie Akiva has more.
The president described the oil as high quality and said that it would be delivered immediately to U.S. ports on storage ships. He posted on social media Tuesday that the oil will, quote, be sold at its market price and that the money will be controlled by me to ensure that it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States. The Venezuelan shipment is enough to supply the U.S. for roughly one and a half to two and a half days, based on America's daily consumption of about 20 million barrels. Venezuela currently produces only around one million barrels per day, marking a sharp drop from the roughly three million barrels a day it produced before socialist Hugo Chavez took power in the late 1990s.
How did DHS and Minneapolis leaders describe the circumstances and response to the shooting?
Pro-Maduro militias are cracking down on dissent in Venezuela and searching for supporters of the U.S. raid that toppled the strongman. Daily Wire reporter Zach Jewell has the story.
Plainclothes gunmen deployed by Venezuela's leaders are walking the streets and stopping vehicles as they crack down on dissent and pro-American sentiment. The paramilitary members known as colectivos were out in full force on Tuesday as the pro-Maduro regime seeks to maintain control of the country. Men armed with rifles set up checkpoints in the capital city of Caracas, where they stopped drivers to search their vehicles, phones, and personal belongings, looking for any evidence of support for the United States capturing Maduro. Police, meanwhile, were instructed to, quote, immediately begin the national search and capture of everyone involved in the promotion or support for the armed attack by the United States.
