US Police Kill Migrant Woman in Minneapolis; Trump Defends Shooting Amid Immigration Crackdown
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, a migrant woman was killed by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers during a high-profile immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, has intensified debates over excessive use of force by US law enforcement.
Federal authorities claimed the shooting was an act of self-defense, but Minneapolis Mayor condemned the incident as “reckless and unnecessary,” warning of increasingly aggressive immigration enforcement tactics. This marks the fifth such fatal encounter linked to immigration operations across multiple US states in recent months.
President Donald Trump staunchly defended the officer involved, asserting that the shooting was justified. He blamed “radical left” groups for allegedly threatening immigration officers daily and called for stronger protections for law enforcement. Trump also proposed a dramatic increase in military spending, demanding a $1.5 trillion defense budget for 2027 instead of the previously planned $1 trillion.
The President further credited his administration’s tariff policies for enabling higher military expenditures, claiming they generate sufficient revenue to fund an “ideal military” while paying down national debt and supporting middle-class Americans. However, recent US media polls indicate that over half of Americans disapprove of Trump’s mass deportation plans.
