Indivisible Condemns ICE Shooting of a Minneapolis Resident
January 7, 2026 Washington, D.C. — Today, Indivisible’s co-founder and co-executive director, released the following statement in reaction to an ICE officer allegedly murdering a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis today:
“We strongly condemn the deadly shooting of a Minneapolis resident by a federal immigration enforcement officer during an ICE and CBP operation. Our hearts are with the victim and their loved ones, and with the Twin Cities community that is once again being terrorized by federal immigration raids.
“If reports are accurate, an ICE officer murdered a woman by shooting her in the face multiple times. They did this during an immigration crackdown ordered and escalated by the Trump regime. This is a horrifying and unacceptable outcome of a secret police force that has made our communities less safe. ICE and CBP brutality is not an aberration. It is the predictable result of an authoritarian regime that has empowered federal agents to occupy neighborhoods, target immigrant communities, and operate with impunity.
“We honor the courage of community members who are looking out for one another and demanding dignity and safety for all. We reject all forms of violence, and recommit to nonviolent organizing. ICE and CBP must leave our communities. Every person involved must be held fully accountable under the law, without special treatment and without excuses. Indivisible calls for the immediate arrest of the ICE officers who carried out this deadly shooting, and for full accountability for all federal officials and agency leadership who authorized and oversaw this operation. We know federal officials will not lift a finger to ensure accountability – it is up to state and local officials to stand up for justice, the rule of law, and the safety of our communities.”
