Person shot in federal agent confrontation in South Minneapolis

"The big picture: The shooting will likely further inflame tensions over the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities. Gov. Tim Walz said he had spoken to the White House about what he called another "sickening" shooting. "The President must end this operation," he wrote. "Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.""

"What they're saying: The city of Minneapolis said on X that officials are "aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave." They asked that the public remain calm and "avoid the immediate area." Zoom in: The circumstances that led to the shooting were not immediately clear. Several observers can be seen recording agents as they tackle the man to the ground."

"An administration official said the person was armed with a gun that was recovered at the scene. The person's condition was not immediately clear. Zoom out: The incident came one day after thousands of people flooded the streets of Minneapolis to protest the immigration operation. Hundreds of businesses across the Twin Cities closed for the day in solidarity. Federal officials have repeatedly defended both the operation and agents' conduct, arguing that observers and protesters are making their immigration enforcement efforts more difficult and dangerous."
