Officials in Minneapolis have confirmed reports of a second fatal shooting involving federal law enforcement officers in the city, occurring amidst the ongoing federal immigration crackdown. This incident follows less than three weeks after the death of Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minnesota while attempting to drive away from a confrontation.
Escalating Tensions and Protests
The previous killing ignited nationwide protests and has led to continuous demonstrations in Minneapolis, highlighting growing public outrage over immigration enforcement tactics. City officials issued a statement on Saturday morning, noting that the latest shooting took place in the area of West 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue South.
We are actively working to confirm additional details and urge the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area, the statement emphasized, underscoring the volatile situation.
Political Reactions and Calls for Action
In response to these events, Governor Tim Walz has called for an immediate halt to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement operations in the state, citing concerns over public safety and civil liberties. With confirmed details still scarce, authorities are continuing their investigations into both shootings.
The community remains on edge as developments unfold, with many awaiting further updates on the circumstances surrounding these tragic incidents.
