"The Department of Homeland Security, the parent agency of ICE and Border Patrol, has just said that the man shot dead by federal immigration enforcement earlier this morning was pronounced dead at the scene. The federal agency said an agent fired defensive shots. It is now characterizing protesters as rioters, saying there are about 200 people on the scene in south Minneapolis trying to obstruct and assault law enforcement."
"I am asking my fellow Republican and Democratic Governors across the nation to have a unified response. We must all stand against the lawlessness being inflicted in our states, he posted on X moments ago. He then posted: Masked federal agents in Minnesota just shot and killed another person. We must put a stop to Trump's ICE. Now. Stop the funding, stop the occupations, stop the killings."
"Mary Moriarty, the top prosecutor of Hennepin county, where Minneapolis is located, has issued a statement saying that her team is working with state law enforcement, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), to coordinate on a response to this shooting. The scene must be secured by local law enforcement for the collection and preservation of evidence, Moriarty said. We expect the federal government to allow the BCA to process the scene."
Federal immigration agents in south Minneapolis shot and killed a man and pronounced him dead at the scene. The Department of Homeland Security said an agent fired defensive shots and described roughly 200 protesters as rioters attempting to obstruct and assault law enforcement. Illinois governor JB Pritzker called for a bipartisan, unified gubernatorial response and urged ending funding and operations of ICE. Hennepin County prosecutor Mary Moriarty said her team is coordinating with state law enforcement and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and expects local authorities to secure and process the scene. Tensions were heightened by a prior federal exclusion of state investigators, and an angry crowd confronted agents.
