Protests in US after ICE agent's killing

Spontaneous rallies in New York and Minneapolis

An impromptu rally is taking place in New York after a woman in Minneapolis was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer. Protesters believe that the woman, by blocking the officers' way and pressing the gas pedal while they tried to pull her from the car, prompted ICE to open fire. According to protesters, 'this act demonstrated a betrayal by the authorities.' Some demonstrators also condemned U.S. actions in Venezuela.

Based on reports from several media outlets, the deceased had blocked the road, and when officers attempted to remove her from the vehicle, she reportedly pressed the gas pedal. Journalists say ICE officers responded with gunfire. President Donald Trump, referencing this incident, called to 'support ICE,' claiming the woman was a 'radical left-winger,' resisted arrest, and 'intentionally ran over an officer.'

Protests against ICE are taking place in Seattle and Minneapolis. In Minneapolis, the slogan 'Power to the people' has become the main symbol of the demonstrations, while in Seattle, rallies are marked by a highly confrontational mood.

The official investigation has not confirmed anything yet, but the events are attracting significant public and media attention.

Summary:

Protests took place in the U.S. following the shooting of a woman by ICE agents in Minneapolis; participants accuse authorities and call for support of ICE, with events drawing attention in New York, Minneapolis, and Seattle.
