Immigration officers stop a woman in her car in Minneapolis, US. They tell her to get out. In videos, the woman tries to drive away slowly. An officer shoots her. The car hits another car. People feel shocked and angry.
The president says that the officer only wants to be safe. Officials say that the woman tries to hurt officers with her car. They say that the officer does the right thing.
The boss of the city is very angry. He says that the officer uses power in a bad way. He tells immigration officers to leave the city. People watch videos online and think different things. Many people talk about immigration. They want to be safe.
Difficult words: immigration officer (an official who checks who comes into a country), shocked (very surprised and upset), power (when you are strong enough to make things happen).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
