The woman, who has not yet been publicly identified, was pronounced dead.

Noem said ICE officers have arrested "hundreds and hundreds of dangerous criminals" in Minneapolis, including violent offenders.

Wednesday's incident comes months after controversy in October when an ICE agent shot a Chicago woman seven times during Operation Midway Blitz. 

DHS initially claimed federal agents were ambushed by several protesters, including one who they said was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. 

Officials described the woman, later identified as Marimar Martinez, as a "domestic terrorist" and charged her and another driver with using their cars to box in and ram federal agents' vehicle. 

However, federal prosecutors ultimately dropped the case after it went to court, where testimony and video evidence suggested the federal agents may have initiated the collision.

It was also revealed Martinez was a legal concealed-carry permit holder and never brandished her legally owned weapon that remained in her car's glovebox. 

Martinez and her legal team have alluded that they plan to file a civil lawsuit against the agent who shot her.
