An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a woman who had been using her vehicle to block ICE agents from getting through a Minneapolis street Wednesday, fueling a debate over President Trump's ongoing efforts at mass deportations and the violent resistance against them.

Mr. Trump said he had viewed video and said the woman "willfully and viciously ran over the officer, who opened fire in defense of himself." Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the woman attempted to "ram" her officers and labeled it an "act of domestic terrorism."

The Minneapolis mayor rejected those claims, saying his own viewing suggested the officer's life was never in danger. He called the Department of Homeland Security's depiction of events a "garbage narrative." He blamed ICE for the woman's death.
