Cable news networks scramble to cover fatal Minnesota ICE shooting – with both caution and commentary

Networks brought on former federal and police officials, with varying reactions and responses to Minneapolis killing

Cable news networks sprung into action on Wednesday to cover the breaking news of a woman killed by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis, rushing correspondents to the scene and bringing on former government officials and legal analysts to offer commentary.

The three main cable networks' on-screen graphics framed the incident slightly differently. Fox News referred to it as a Deadly ICE-involved Shooting", while CNN said more plainly: ICE Officer Kills Woman in Minneapolis."
