Picture this: a Minneapolis mom and award-winning poet blocking an ICE roadblock during a Trump deportation sweep—next thing, shots ring out, she’s dead from a head wound, sparking citywide fury and protests.
The 37-year-old white U.S. citizen mother of three (ages 6,12,15) was in her vehicle when an ICE officer approached on foot; car moved, two shots fired—she died in hospital. No evidence she was a target, but Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey slammed it as “escalated bullshit,” while Gov. Tim Walz blasted Trump’s “fear-generating” policy.
DHS’s Tricia McLaughlin and Sec. Kristi Noem claimed she “weaponized her vehicle” to run over officers—Trump echoed “self-defense” on X, blaming “Radical Left violence.” Hundreds protested, schools shut Thursday-Friday; Pence urged investigation without rush to judgment. Sen. Tina Smith confirmed her citizenship.
