The Trump administration and Minnesota officials are giving conflicting accounts of what happened on a street in Minneapolis yesterday when a woman in an SUV was shot at close range by an ICE agent.
President Trump told the New York Times last night, quote, it's a terrible scene.
No, I hate to see it.
But he said, quote, you're supposed to listen to law enforcement.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry, meanwhile, took aim at ICE.
To ICE?
get the fuck out of Minneapolis.
When CNN told Fry that Republicans were calling his remarks divisive, he said this.
I'm so sorry if I offended their Disney princess ears, but here's the thing.
If we're talking about what's inflammatory, on the one hand,
you got someone who dropped an F bomb,
and on the other hand, you got someone who killed somebody else.
ICE is in Minnesota in the first place
because a fraud scandal drew the Trump administration's attention.
What happened there is coming up on Today Explained.
This is Today Explained.
Over the past couple of weeks, a fraud scandal in Minnesota has consumed the American right.
That scandal led to the government deploying a bunch of ICE agents to your area, to Minneapolis.
Yesterday, one of those officers shot and killed a woman.
What do we know about that shooting?
