Klobuchar Statement on Fatal Shooting by ICE Agent in Minneapolis

WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the following statement on the fatal shooting by an ICE Agent in Minneapolis this morning:
“I am praying for the family and loved ones of the woman who was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis this morning. This tragedy is the result of the administration sending federal agents onto our streets against the wishes of local law enforcement, including our respected Police Chief Brian O'Hara. We need full transparency and an investigation of what happened, and I am deeply concerned that statements made by DHS do not appear to reflect video evidence and on-the-ground accounts. While our immigration enforcement should be focused on apprehending and prosecuting violent criminals to make our communities safer, these ICE actions are doing the opposite and making our state less safe.”
