"The details surrounding the shooting weren't immediately clear, but Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said the person was shot amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said a 37-year-old man was killed. He urged people to remain peaceful and not to destroy the city after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man Saturday in Minneapolis. O'Hara said there was limited information about the shooting. He called on people to leave the area and said it's not sustainable."
"After the shooting, an angry crowd 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. Protesters dragged garbage dumpsters from alleyways to block the streets, and people who gathered chanted, ICE out now, referring to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. They're killing my neighbors! said Minneapolis resident Josh Koskie."
Federal immigration officers shot and killed a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis, prompting hundreds of protesters to gather in a city already shaken by another fatal shooting weeks earlier. Limited information about the incident was available, and Department of Homeland Security materials indicated the person had a firearm with two magazines and included a photo of a handgun. The shooting occurred just over a mile from the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer. Angry crowds hurled profanities, chanted ICE out now, dragged dumpsters to block streets, and clashed with federal officers who used batons and flash bangs.
