An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a woman yesterday in Minneapolis, officials said. <\/p>\n

Contrasting narratives emerged over what led to the shooting. <\/p>\n

Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said Good was shot after people began blocking officers during an immigration-related operation. <\/p>\n

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said she was engaged in “an act of domestic terrorism” without providing further evidence.<\/p>\n

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pushed back on those claims, saying, \u201cHaving seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is b—s—.\u201d <\/p>\n

President Donald Trump defended the ICE agent and said the officer was \u201cviciously\u201d run over.<\/p>\n

In a Truth Social post, he wrote: \u201cIt is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

Witnesses described seeing the woman trying to flee officers when she was shot, disputing the notion that she was trying to run them over. <\/p>\n

Good’s mother said that her daughter was not part of ICE-related protests.<\/p>\n

The Minneapolis City Council described the 37-year-old as a resident who was out \u201ccaring for her neighbors\u201d when she was killed.<\/p>\n

U.S. seizes Russian-flagged tanker that fled blockade of Venezuela<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/picture><\/div>\n

The United States seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker<\/strong><\/a> in the North Atlantic following a weekslong chase on the high seas.<\/p>\n

The sanctioned vessel, called the Marinera, had fled the American blockade of Venezuela last month. Crew onboard the vessel \u201cwill be brought to the United States for such prosecution if necessary,\u201d the White House said. <\/p>\n

Another sanctioned tanker, the M\/T Sophia, was seized for \u201cconducting illicit activities in the Caribbean Sea,\u201d U.S. officials said.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin, a longtime supporter of deposed Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, accused the U.S. of violating maritime law by seizing the Marinera. <\/p>\n

The saga is a new flashpoint between Washington and Moscow in the wake of the Trump administration\u2019s capture of Maduro.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It comes as Venezuela\u2019s state-run petroleum company said that it is in negotiations to sell crude oil to the U.S.<\/strong><\/a> The process \u201cis based on a strictly commercial transaction, with criteria of legality, transparency, and benefit for both parties,\u201d the company said, according to an NBC News translation.<\/p>\n
