"Frey's statement called out President Donald Trump and condemned what he described as a mass militarized force of unidentified federal agents on Minneapolis streets, saying their presence weakens our country and erodes trust in both law enforcement and in democracy itself. He urged Americans to consider how future generations will judge their actions and called on President Trump to act like a leader, put Minneapolis, put America first, and work to achieve peace by ending the federal operation."
"The shooting on Jan. 24 marked at least the third fatality or serious use of force by federal agents in the city in recent weeks, following the death of Renee Good on Jan. 7 and another person shot in the leg by a federal agent. Federal officials say the Jan. 24 encounter involved an armed individual, though local leaders dispute accounts and fault the surge of agents for fueling unrest."
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey sharply criticized the Trump administration and demanded an end to federal ICE enforcement operations after a fatal Jan. 24 shooting involving ICE agents. The Jan. 24 incident followed earlier serious uses of force, including the Jan. 7 death of Renee Good and another person shot in the leg. Federal officials described the Jan. 24 encounter as involving an armed individual, while local leaders disputed that account and blamed a surge of unidentified federal agents for fueling unrest. Protests intensified and spread across Minnesota as leaders called for ICE removal and a change in federal tactics.
