A woman in Minneapolis thought she could play hero by driving her car into a federal immigration operation. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well for her.
An ICE agent shot a woman who reportedly drove her vehicle toward officers during a lawful attempt to detain two criminal illegal aliens. Let’s be crystal clear: this wasn’t some innocent bystander caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. According to reports, she actively inserted herself into a federal operation, blocked an active investigation by law enforcement officials — and then tried to take out an ICE agent with her car when her vehicle was surrounded by officials.
CNN contributor Scott Jennings wasn’t having any of the media spin. He called it exactly what it was: “left-wing vigilantism.” Jennings said, “What are we doing here? You don’t get to interfere with a law enforcement operation because you don’t like the law.”
Oh, but in leftist fantasyland, ICE is the villain and anyone who blocks them is some sort of moral superhero.
NEW: CNN's Scott Jennings rips Democrat leaders for egging on their base to obstruct law enforcement.
"Why are people believing that they can drive their car into a federal law enforcement situation and that is an appropriate thing to do?"

The left is already painting this woman as a victim. But let’s be real — if you aim a vehicle at armed federal agents, you’re not protesting, you’re threatening lives. Jennings nailed it when he said, “We are now at the point where people think they can physically interfere with the government because they don’t like what it’s doing.”
Three video angles of the Minneapolis shooting, all slowed down and zoomed in.
The Department of Homeland Security says the officer acted in self-defense.

Sec. Kristi Noem says that just TODAY, there have been four ramming attacks on federal officers, three of which happened in Minneapolis.
"We've seen over 100 of these vehicle rammings happen in just recent weeks."

The two illegals the agents were trying to arrest? One had been previously deported. The other had a criminal record. But hey, open borders activists would rather shield criminals than protect American citizens. This is what happens when Democrat leaders spend years demonizing ICE and turning criminal aliens into martyrs.
The Democrat leader of Minneapolis, where the incident occurred, Mayor Jacob Frey, poured fuel on the fire, raging against ICE while dismissing self-defense claims as “bullshit spin.” He told ICE agents to “get the F*CK OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS!” instead of directing people to watch the videos of the incident which clearly show the woman trying to take out the ICE officer.

This guy is a traitor. A Somali-first traitor. Now, he's siding with a terrorist who weaponized her vehicle.
He must resign or be arrested. pic.twitter.com/kEG3vSy1UD

This isn’t about immigration anymore. It’s about law, order, and basic common sense — all things the radical Left has abandoned.
