MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Another incident of police violence erupted in Minneapolis as federal officers shot an individual amidst an ongoing crackdown on immigration policies by the Trump administration. Governor Tim Walz expressed his concerns via social media, revealing that he had reached out to the White House and demanded an end to the federal operations in Minnesota. The specifics of the shooting remain unclear, but eyewitness reports indicate that the person shot was armed with a firearm and two magazines.
In the aftermath, bystanders voiced their discontent, labeling the officers as ‘cowards’ and urging them to leave. One officer retorted dismissively as tensions boiled over. The shooting marks a tragic continuation of events in the area, following widespread protests that have gripped the Twin Cities since the January 7 killing of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE officer.
Just prior to this incident, thousands of demonstrators braved frigid temperatures to express their opposition to the ongoing enforcement actions, demanding that federal law enforcement cease operations immediately. As protests continue, the situation remains tense and the implications of federal enforcement in local communities are under heavy scrutiny.
