ICE特工当街枪杀美国公民,多地爆发大规模抗议!
美国明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市7日发生一起致命枪击事件,一名美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)特工在执法过程中开枪打死车内37岁女子。据美媒报道,这名女子名为蕾妮·古德(Renee Good)。
A US immigration agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in her car in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Wednesday during an immigration enforcement surge, according to local and federal officials, the latest violence in President Donald Trump's nationwide crackdown on migrants.

事发后,当地数千名民众走上街头抗议。美国总统特朗普称执法人员“显然是出于自卫才开枪的”。明尼阿波利斯市市长对此进行了驳斥。
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey adamantly rejected the Trump administration's assertion that the agent fired in self-defense, saying video of the shooting directly contradicted what he called the government's "garbage narrative".
In response to the Department of Homeland Security describing Good as a "domestic terrorist" and claiming ICE agents had acted in self-defense, her mother, Donna Ganger said, "That's so stupid. She was probably terrified," adding that her daughter was "not part of anything like that at all," in reference to protesters who have been challenging ICE agents.
Kristi Noem, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, told a news conference that ICE officers were responding to a vehicle stuck in the snow when they were harassed by a "mob of agitators".
One of the protesters, later identified as Good, followed agents all day, Noem said. Good blocked their vehicle and refused orders to move out of the way, she said.
"She then proceeded to weaponize her vehicle, and she attempted to run a law enforcement officer over," she said, adding that the car struck the officer.
She characterized that as domestic terrorism and said the act was under investigation by the FBI. State officials said they would launch their own investigation.
US President Donald Trump said the woman who was fatally shot was at fault because she tried to "run over" the officer.
"I want to see nobody get shot. I want to see nobody screaming and trying to run over policemen either," Trump told the publication, calling it a "vicious situation".
"I think it's horrible to watch," Trump said. "No, I hate to see it."
Trump on Wednesday had said the officer acted in "self-defense".
"The woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer, who seems to have shot her in self-defense," he said in a post on social media.

After vowing to "get justice" and ensure a comprehensive investigation into the incident, Frey had a message for the agency. "To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here," he said.
