Minneapolis, January 24: Federal immigration officers shot and killed a man Saturday in Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of protesters in a city already shaken by another fatal shooting weeks earlier. 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. A hospital record obtained by The Associated Press that a 51-year-old man who was shot by immigration officers had died.

Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told the AP in a text messages that the person had a firearm with two magazines and that the situation was "evolving." DHS also distributed a photo of a handgun they said was on the person who was shot. The shooting happened amid widespread daily protests in the Twin Cities since the Jan. 7 shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good, who was killed when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fired into her vehicle.

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 officers wielded batons and deployed flash bangs on the crowd. Walz, a Democrat, said in a social media post he had been in contact with the White House. He urged President Donald Trump to end what the Department of Homeland Security has called its largest-ever immigration enforcement operation.

"Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now," Walz said in a post on X. The shooting happened a day after thousands of demonstrators protesting the crackdown on immigrants crowded the city's streets in frigid weather, calling for federal law enforcement to leave.
