A 51-year-old man shot Saturday by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis has died, a hospital record obtained by The Associated Press shows.
The person was shot amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, Gov. Tim Walz says. The details surrounding the shooting weren’t immediately clear.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin tells the AP in a text message that the person had a firearm 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 Renee Good, who was killed when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fired into her vehicle.
Walz, a Democrat, says in a social media post that he has been in contact with the White House after the shooting. He urges 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 says in a post on X.
DHS distributes a photo of a handgun, they say 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.
