"Federal officers shot another person in Minneapolis amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, Gov. Tim Walz said Saturday. Walz, a Democrat, said in a social media post that he had been in contact with the White House after the shooting. He called on the President Donald Trump to end the crackdown in his state. The details surrounding the shooting weren't immediately clear."
""Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now," Walz said in a post on X. After the shooting, bystanders gathered and screamed profanities at federal officers, calling them "cowards" and telling them to go home. One officer responded mockingly as he walked away, telling them: "Boo hoo." Agents elsewhere shoved a yelling protester into a car."
"The shooting came amid widespread daily protests in the Twin Cities since the Jan. 7 shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good, who was killed when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fired into her vehicle. It also comes a day after thousands of demonstrators protesting the crackdown on immigrants crowded the city's streets in frigid weather, calling for federal law enforcement to leave."
Federal officers shot another person in Minneapolis during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, prompting Governor Tim Walz to contact the White House and demand federal officers leave Minnesota. Walz called for the immediate withdrawal of what he described as "violent, untrained officers." Bystanders confronted federal agents after the shooting, screaming profanities and being mocked by at least one officer who said "Boo hoo." Agents were also seen shoving a yelling protester into a car. The incident follows daily protests since the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer and large demonstrations demanding federal law enforcement depart the city.
