Democrat Tim Walz has described the incident as \u201csickening,\u201d coming mere weeks after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by ICE agents<\/p>\n
A man has been fatally shot by federal agents in the US city of Minneapolis, according to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Earlier this month, a 37-year-old woman, Renee Good, was also killed there by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer.
\nThe latest fatal incident reportedly occurred near the intersection of 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue on Saturday morning.
\nIn a post on X later that day, Governor Walz wrote that he \u201cjust spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning.\u201d
\n\u201cMinnesota has had it. This is sickening,\u201d the Democrat added. Walz demanded that US President Donald Trump \u201cpull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.\u201d He was referring to the ongoing deployment of federal ICE agents in Minneapolis, where they have sought to detain illegal migrants.
\nWhile the circumstances are not yet clear, a short video has been circulating on social media, which purportedly depicts the shooting. It shows several people, presumably federal agents, pinning someone down on the sidewalk, while another one strikes the person with an object. Then what appears to be a gunshot is heard, with several more to follow.<\/p>\n

In a separate X post, Governor Walz said that he had \u201ctold the White House the state must lead the investigation\u201d into Saturday\u2019s shooting.<\/p>\n
\u201cFederal agents must not obstruct our ability… [to] keep people safe\u201d at the scene, he added.
\nAccording to media reports, some altercations occurred between federal agents and a crowd that gathered at the scene shortly following the tragedy.<\/p>\n

During a press conference on Saturday, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O\u2019Hara stated that based on the \u201cinformation that we have, which is very limited, [the victim] is a 37-year-old white male, who is a Minneapolis resident. And we believe he is an American citizen.\u201d
\nThe official also urged residents to \u201cremain peaceful\u201d and \u201cavoid the area, and to leave if you are there.\u201d
\n\u201cPlease, do not destroy our own city,\u201d O\u2019Hara implored.
\nThe US Department of Homeland Security posted on X that earlier on Saturday, \u201c[as] DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun.\u201d A photo of a firearm was included in the post.
\n\u201cThe officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted,\u201d the department said, adding that \u201cfearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots.\u201d
\nAccording to the federal authorities, aside from the handgun, the man also had two magazines \u2013 something that, according to the post, indicated that he intended to \u201cdo maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.\u201d
\nShortly after the incident, \u201cabout 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene,\u201d the statement said.
\nUS President Donald Trump shared the same photo of the weapon that was allegedly in the deceased individual\u2019s procession. In a post on his Truth Social platform, he claimed that the local police were \u201c[not] allowed to protect ICE Officers,\u201d suggesting that the order had come from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Walz.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIf they were still there, you would see something far worse than you are witnessing today,\u201d the president claimed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
