Federal Agents Kill Another Person in Minneapolis Immigration Crackdown

A man was killed in a shooting by an immigration agent in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, the second fatal shooting in a little over two weeks by federal authorities in the city. The incident follows the Jan. 7 killing of Minneapolis woman Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, by a federal agent, and comes a day after mass protests in the city over a surge of immigration officers and sweeping raids across the area. A video of the incident appears to show a large group of federal agents struggling with a man before one of the agents pulls a gun and shoots the man, and continues to fire while he lies motionless on the floor.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called the shooting “sickening” and called on President Trump to end his immigration crackdown in the state. “I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening,” Walz said in a post on X. “The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.” The City of Minneapolis said in a statement on X that it was “aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. “We are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area,” it added. The shooting comes a day after thousands took to the streets across Minnesota on Friday, closing down businesses and calling out of work in a mass protest against the Trump Administration’s immigration crackdown in the state. The “Ice Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth and Freedom” demonstration, organized by community leaders, members of the clergy, and labor unions, called for a “no work, no school, no shopping” economic blackout. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not immediately provide comment. This is a developing story.
