LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON ICE KILLING IN MINNEAPOLIS
January 7, 2026
Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:
Today in Minneapolis, a masked Department of Homeland Security agent shot and killed an unarmed woman who was not the target of an immigration enforcement action.
There is no evidence that has been presented to justify this killing. Secretary Kristi Noem is a stone-cold liar and has zero credibility. The masked ICE agent who pulled the trigger should be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law for acting with depraved indifference to human life.
I pray for the loved ones of the victim and stand with the people of Minneapolis during this difficult time. The American people must reject this cruelty and extremism.
