Federal agents kill another person in Minnesota weeks after Renee Good shot dead
Federal agents have been involved in another fatal shooting in Minneapolis – weeks after Renee Good was killed by an ICE officer.
Details surrounding the 51-year-old man’s death are still emerging, but it comes as part of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, state governor Tim Walz said.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said the deceased had a gun with two magazines and that the situation was ‘evolving’.
The shooting happened amid widespread daily protests in the Twin Cities since the January 7 shooting of 37-year-old Ms Good.
Mother-of-three Ms Good was killed when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fired into her vehicle.
Walz, a Democrat, said in a social media post that he had been in contact with the White House after the shooting.
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.
DHS distributed a photo of a handgun they said was on the person who was shot.
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.
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.
