Elon Musk Backs ICE Agent After Minneapolis Shooting, Calls It ‘Obvious Self-Defense

Elon Musk publicly backed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement following a Minneapolis incident in which an ICE agent fired after being struck by a vehicle. Authorities say a 37-year-old woman ignored commands to stop and used her car in a way investigators describe as a threat to the agent’s life.

Musk responded online by emphasizing compliance with lawful orders and arguing that using a vehicle as a weapon constitutes grounds for self-defense. The comments come as demonstrations erupted in Minneapolis, with critics calling for charges against the agent while officials review the facts. Law enforcement leaders reiterated that the case remains under investigation and urged the public to allow the legal process to proceed.
