Minneapolis ICE shooting latest: Trump admin sending ‘hundreds’ of federal agents to Minnesota as protests continue
Trump administration to deploy more federal agents to Minnesota after ICE shooting
- The Trump administration is deploying “hundreds” of additional federal law enforcement agents to Minnesota.
- This deployment follows the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer and subsequent large-scale anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis and across the U.S.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated the agents are being sent to protect existing ICE and Border Patrol personnel during immigration raids.
- Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has vehemently opposed the federal presence, calling for ICE to leave the city and accusing them of heightening tensions.
- An FBI investigation into Good's shooting is underway, but local officials have raised concerns about its reliability after the administration labelled Good a "domestic terrorist" and excluded local law enforcement.
