Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is expected to hold a press conference in New York City on Thursday, a day after a deadly ICE-involved shooting in Minnesota ignited a national firestorm.<\/a><\/p>\n

Noem is expected to make a special announcement from One World Trade Center Thursday morning. Watch it live in the player above when it begins after 11 a.m.<\/p>\n

Thirty-seven-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good<\/a> died after being shot in the head on Wednesday by an ICE agent working as part of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. It happened in a residential neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, an area DHS had flooded it with more than 2,000 officers. <\/p>\n

Federal officials say the shooting was justified, calling the woman’s preceding behavior an “act of domestic terrorism.” Local officials say video from witnesses contradicts that story. They want ICE out.<\/p>\n

Noem says those agents aren’t going anywhere.<\/p>\n

Wednesday’s shooting in Minneapolis<\/a> has prompted unrest and burgeoning protests across the country. In New York City, protesters who gathered at Foley Square early Wednesday headed to One World Trade in hopes of confronting Noem in person. More demonstrations are expected throughout the day.<\/p>\n

What happened in Minneapolis?<\/p>\n

The videos of the shooting show an officer approaching an SUV stopped across the middle of the road, demanding the driver open the door and grabbing the handle. The Honda Pilot begins to pull forward, and a different ICE officer standing in front of it pulls his weapon and immediately\u00a0fires at least two shots at close range<\/a>, jumping back as the vehicle moves toward him.<\/p>\n

It is not clear from the videos if the vehicle makes contact with the officer, and there is no indication of whether the woman had interactions with ICE agents earlier. After the shooting the SUV speeds into two cars parked on a curb before crashing to a stop.<\/p>\n

In another recording made afterward, a woman who identifies\u00a0Macklin Good<\/a>\u00a0as her spouse is seen crying near the vehicle. The woman, who is not identified, says the couple recently arrived in Minnesota and they had a child.<\/p>\n

Noem, in the immediate aftermath, called the incident an \u201cact of domestic terrorism\u201d against ICE officers, saying the driver \u201cattempted to run them over and rammed them with her vehicle. An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot, to protect himself and the people around him.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump made similar accusations on social media and defended ICE\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

Noem alleged that the woman was part of a \u201cmob of agitators\u201d and said the officer followed his training. She said the FBI would investigate.<\/p>\n

But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called Noem\u2019s version of events \u201cgarbage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense,\u201d Frey said. \u201cHaving seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bullshit.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also criticized the federal deployment and said the agents should leave.<\/p>\n

A nation on edge<\/p>\n

The shooting marked a dramatic escalation of the latest in a\u00a0series of immigration enforcement operations<\/a>\u00a0in major cities under the Trump administration. Wednesday’s is\u00a0at least the fifth death<\/a>\u00a0linked to the crackdowns.<\/p>\n

The Twin Cities have been on edge since DHS announced the operation\u2019s launch Tuesday, at least partly tied to\u00a0allegations of fraud<\/a>\u00a0involving Somali residents.<\/p>\n

A crowd of protesters gathered at the scene after the shooting to vent their anger at local and federal officers.<\/p>\n

In a scene that hearkened back to crackdowns in\u00a0Los Angeles<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Chicago<\/a>, people chanted \u201cICE out of Minnesota\u201d and blew whistles that have become ubiquitous during the operations.<\/p>\n

Gov. Tim Walz said he was prepared to deploy the National Guard if necessary. He expressed outrage over the shooting but called on people to keep protests peaceful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want a show,\u201d Walz said. \u201cWe can\u2019t give it to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were calls on social media to prosecute the officer who shot Macklin Good.<\/p>\n

Commissioner Bob Jacobson of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety said state authorities would investigate the shooting with federal authorities.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMinnesota Gov. Tim Walz issued a warning to the Trump administration after ICE agents fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis. \u201cWe do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem: you\u2019ve done enough.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is expected to hold a press conference in New York City…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":93743,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[5800,9,56,63,65,64],"class_list":["post-93742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-minnesota","tag-new-york","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=93742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93742\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/93743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=93742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=93742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
