The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Wednesday that a woman was shot and killed by a Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a confrontation between federal agents and protesters in Minneapolis.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said during a news conference on Wednesday evening that the ICE officer who shot the woman was involved in an incident with an "anti-ICE rioter" in June.

The Department of Homeland Security is surging immigration agents to Minneapolis this week as it further escalates its crackdown on the Twin Cities region after a right-wing YouTuber alleged fraud by Somalis living there, according to two senior DHS officials.

The lawsuit heightens tensions between the state and the Trump administration following the fatal shooting involving an ICE officer.
