Minneapolis ICE death: eyewitness footage shows how shooting unfolded – video

Newly Released Footage Reveals Disturbing Details of Minneapolis ICE Detention Center Shooting

A shocking and disturbing video has been leaked, offering a harrowing glimpse into the chaotic moments leading up to the fatal shooting at the Minneapolis Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center. The footage, which has been described as "graphic" and "disturbing," appears to show the exact sequence of events that unfolded on May 29, when four detainees were killed by a fellow inmate.

According to eyewitness accounts, the confrontation began when two inmates got into an argument over a makeshift baseball bat used for recreation in the facility. The dispute quickly escalated, with other inmates attempting to intervene and break up the fight. However, in the chaos, one of the detainees grabbed the bat and turned it on another inmate, resulting in a fatal shooting.

The released footage shows a glimpse of this confrontation, as well as the rapid response from facility staff and law enforcement officers who were called to the scene. The video raises serious questions about the safety and security measures in place at the detention center and how such incidents can occur under the watchful eye of trained personnel.

Critics are already calling for immediate action to address these issues, citing concerns over overcrowding, inadequate staffing, and lack of resources within the facility. As investigations into the incident continue, the released footage serves as a stark reminder of the risks faced by detainees in such facilities and the urgent need for reform to ensure that their rights are protected.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage and calls for accountability, with many advocates demanding greater transparency and oversight over ICE detention centers nationwide.
 
Ugh this is so messed up 🤯 I'm literally shaking thinking about those poor detainees... how can something like this happen in a facility that's supposed to be keeping people safe? it's just devastating that those guys had to go through all that stress and violence, and now we're left picking up the pieces. I don't get why we have these detention centers anyway, they seem like a recipe for disaster 🤦‍♀️
 
This is just another example of how our justice system fails to protect vulnerable people 🤕. I mean think about it - we're still dealing with this kind of situation in 2025, where folks are fighting over a baseball bat in a detention center 🏟️. It's like, what happened to the basic human dignity and respect for life? 💔

And don't even get me started on the staffing issues and lack of resources 🤦‍♂️. If you're gonna put people behind bars, you'd better make sure they've got the support they need to stay safe and healthy. It's not rocket science, folks 🚀.

But what really gets me is that these incidents happen under our watchful eye 👀. We know about the overcrowding, we know about the staffing shortages... but do we do anything about it? Noooo 🙅‍♂️. That's just unacceptable.

We need to take a step back and reevaluate how we're treating folks who are already in a vulnerable position 😕. We need to make sure that these detention centers are running like normal prisons, with proper safety measures and support systems in place 🚔. Anything less is just not good enough 🔒.
 
🤕 This is just devastating... how could this happen on our watch? I'm so tired of these horror stories coming out about private prisons and detention centers in the US. It's like they're designed to fail. 🚫 The fact that there was a baseball bat involved is just crazy, and that it escalated into a shooting? Unbelievable. We need to start asking some serious questions about how we're handling immigration and what kind of resources are being put towards keeping people safe in these facilities. It's not like they're dealing with hardened felons, they're human beings who deserve dignity and respect. 🤝
 
😬 I'm shocked this footage wasn't released sooner, it's been out there for weeks. You know who's not surprised though? The people living in the US, we've seen this kind of stuff happen before. Like that time in 2019 when a riot broke out at the El Paso processing center and three inmates died. And what about the ones who have to live with PTSD due to their experiences in those centers?

Anyway, back to this footage. From what I can see, it looks like the whole system is messed up. You've got detainees being held without bail for months because they're not a threat to society but can't afford bail, and then you've got staff who aren't adequately trained or equipped to deal with conflicts.

It's all about prioritizing profits over people. I mean, think about it, what kind of facility would allow four inmates to die in a fight? It's basic human decency, you'd think. The outrage is justified, we need real change, not just empty promises from politicians.
 
I'm so worried about those poor inmates 🤕🚨. It's just not right that they're having to deal with all this stress and violence in a place meant to be safe and secure. I mean, who needs a baseball bat as a recreational tool anyway? 🤔 And what's up with the lack of resources at that facility? It's like they didn't even have enough staff or training to handle situations like this. We need to make sure that our immigration system is working for people, not against them 🌎💖. I'm all about DIY solutions, but in cases like this, it's just not possible to fix things on your own 🤷‍♀️. We need to come together as a society and demand better for everyone 💪.
 
🤕 this is just disgusting what kind of security measures are they even talking about? four people getting killed by one another in a facility where ppl are supposed to be safe... 🚫 it's like they're just throwing ppl in there with no regard for their lives... and now we got footage showing the exact sequence of events... how did this not happen sooner?! 😩
 
I'M SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS NEWS!!! WE NEED TO DO BETTER FOR OUR DETAINEES IN THESE FACILITIES! THEY'RE HUMAN BEINGS TOO, NOT JUST NUMBERS ON A SHEET OF PAPER. THE FACT THAT WE HAVE TO LEAK FOOTAGE LIKE THIS TO GET PEOPLE'S ATTENTION IS TERRIFYING... IT SHOWS HOW INADEQUATE OUR SYSTEM IS. OVERCROWDING, LACK OF STAFFING, AND INSUFFICIENT RESOURCES ARE JUST EXCUSES FOR A BREAKDOWN IN SAFETY AND SECURITY. WE NEED BETTER TRAINING FOR FACILITY STAFF AND POLICE OFFICERS, AND MORE TRANSPARENCY OVER WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON BEHIND THOSE DOORS! IT'S TIME FOR US TO TAKE ACTION AND MAKE SURE THESE DETAINEES GET THE HELP AND PROTECTION THEY DESERVE!!! 🚨💔
 
😔 this is just heartbreaking... I mean, can you even imagine being locked up behind bars and then getting caught in the middle of some crazy fight? 🤯 it's like a nightmare come true. I'm so worried about these people, they're already vulnerable and scared for their lives. And on top of that, they're stuck in this tiny facility with barely any resources or support. 💸💕 we need to do something about this ASAP... all these stories about ICE detention centers are just too much, it's like a never-ending cycle of trauma and pain 🙏🌟
 
🤯 this is super troubling footage... it shows how quickly things escalated into violence & nobody seemed to be prepared or able to stop it in time 🕰️. i'm worried about the lack of security measures in place - a makeshift baseball bat? that's not what you expect in a detention center 🤦‍♂️. and now people are calling for reform, which is overdue 👏. we need better staffing & resources to prevent situations like this from happening again 💸. it's heartbreaking to see detainees facing these kinds of risks 🙏.
 
🤯😱 I just watched this new footage from the Minneapolis ICE detention center shooting and it's honestly so disturbing... it looks like staff didn't even have time to react before things escalated. This whole thing is a huge red flag for their safety protocols 🚨. The fact that there were enough people around to try and break up the fight but still something went so wrong is just mind-blowing. We need to know more about what was going on in that center before this happened, like how many people were being held there and if they had access to adequate medical care... it's all so concerning 🤕.
 
omg this is wild the fact that a fight broke out over a baseball bat is just crazy like what kinda facility allows inmates to have bats lying around?! 🤯🚫 they need to revamp their security protocols ASAP, it's not rocket science to prevent stuff like this from happening again. and yeah overcrowding and staff shortages are no joke too many ppl crammed into tiny spaces with inadequate help, it's a recipe for disaster
 
man this is so sad I cant even watch the footage it sounds like a nightmare what happened to those people the argument over a bat just escalated to that point I think we need to talk about why these things happen in the first place overcrowding and lack of resources can cause a lot of stress and tension I dont blame the staff for trying to do their job but at the same time they should be better equipped to handle situations like this 🤕
 
😞 just saw this news and it's honestly heartbreaking. I mean, can you imagine being in a place where you're already feeling scared and vulnerable because of your immigration status, and then something like this happens? It's devastating. The fact that these four people lost their lives over a stupid fight with a baseball bat is just sickening. We need to demand better from our government and from the facilities they run. We need to make sure that these places are safe and secure for everyone, not just those who are being held against their will. It's time for real change! 💯
 
ugh this is just heartbreaking i cant even imagine whats going thru the minds of those poor detainees who lost their lives its like we r making mistakes after mistakes in these facilities werent we we need to fix these issues ASAP but how do u start when ur already dealing with so much trauma and stress its not just about overcrowding or staffin but also about the ppl behind the scenes makin decisions that affect ppl lives
 
🤔 This is so messed up, right? I mean, you've got these people locked up in a facility, supposed to be safe, and yet this happens. It's like they're just sitting ducks waiting for something like this to happen. And what really gets me is how it was like an accident - some dude grabs the bat and... boom! I don't think that's accidental. There's gotta be more to it than just a random fight gone wrong. I'm thinking maybe there were other factors at play, you know? Like, was anyone even supervising these dudes during that game of baseball? 🤷‍♂️ The whole thing feels fishy to me...
 
man this is so messed up 🤕... like how can we expect people to be safe in a place designed to hold them against their will? it's crazy that an argument over a bat can lead to this kind of violence... it just goes to show that even in places meant for rehabilitation, trauma and pain can still unfold. and what really gets me is that it's not like these folks were doing anything wrong, they're just trying to survive, but the system keeps pushing them further into this cycle of hurt.

i mean, have we considered how this kind of environment affects a person's mental health? how does it even affect their perception of themselves and their place in society? it's almost like... have we lost sight of what it means to be human? we're so caught up in the politics and the policies that we forget about the people being affected by them. this is why i think we need a fundamental shift in how we approach immigration, mental health, and trauma - we can't just keep treating these issues as if they're separate from each other.
 
this is so crazy 🤯 like what kinda facility can just allow stuff like this 2 happen in their care? i feel 4 the families of those who lost loved ones & hope justice gets served ASAP 💔 meanwhile, how many more ppl need 2 go through dis kind of trauma b4 something changes? we gotta make sure detainees r treated w/ dignity & respect, not left 2 fend 4 themselves 🤦‍♀️
 
🚨this is just another example of how broken our system is 🤯 when we have people locked up in detention centers without basic safety measures, it's a recipe for disaster 🍳 can't believe that staff were supposed to be trained to handle these situations but somehow things still went horribly wrong 😱 and what really gets me is the lack of resources and overcrowding, it's like they're just throwing a bunch of people in a room and hoping for the best 🤯 need to do some serious reform ASAP 💪
 
🚨 This is just so messed up 🤯... I mean, I know these detention centers aren't exactly designed for safety or comfort, but four people getting killed in a freak fight? That's just insane. 🙅‍♂️ And the fact that it happened with trained staff and law enforcement on site, but still managed to go down like this? It's just so concerning.

I'm all for reforming these places and making them safer, but we need to address the root issues too - overcrowding, understaffing... it's a recipe for disaster. 🚨 And now that this footage has come out, I think we'll see even more calls for change. My heart goes out to the families of those who lost their loved ones 💔. We gotta do better here 👊
