United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents shot a person in Minneapolis on Saturday during ongoing immigration enforcement activity, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said. The exact details of how the shooting started are still being investigated.ย Governor Walz took to social media after the incident and said he had spoken with officials in the White House. He called on the federal government to stop the current immigration enforcement operation in the state. Walz wrote that the presence of federal agents in Minnesota had become a serious concern.ย
โI just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.ย The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now,โ he wrote on X.ย
What federal officials have said?
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told The Associated Press that the situation is still developing. They noted that a weapon was found with the person who was shot, but more information has not yet been released.
This latest incident comes amid daily protests in the Twin Cities area since early January, when a 37-year-old woman was killed by a federal agent, prompting widespread demonstrations and calls for federal law enforcement to leave Minnesota.ย
