"A 51-year-old man has been shot dead by federal officers in the US city of Minneapolis, US media reported on Saturday. The shooting was first made public by Minnesota state Governor Tim Walz before the death was reported. The reports of the shooting come amid ongoing protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE's) anti-migrant operations, carried out at the behest of the Trump administration. Those protests were in large part spurred on by the fatal shooting of Renee Good, the 37-year-old mother of three, by an ICE agent on January 7."
"The shooting took place amid ongoing protests against ICE, but it was not immediately clear if the victim was a protester. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said, in a message to the Associated Press (AP), that the man had been carrying a firearm with two magazines. The DHS also distributed a picture of a handgun they said belonged to the victim. Crowds gathered following the shooting and began shouting at the federal officers, according to reporting from AP."
""I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening," the former running mate of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris wrote on X. "The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.""

The White House described Good as a "domestic terrorist." The Department of Homeland Security said the man had been carrying a firearm with two magazines and shared a photo of a handgun. Crowds gathered and shouted at federal officers while reports indicated masked agents and use of tear gas. Walz called for withdrawal of federal officers and the city urged calm.
