Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Saturday called on President Donald Trump to halt large-scale Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the state after what officials and witnesses said was the second fatal shooting this month by federal agents in Minneapolis.

The governor’s comments came after the Minnesota Star Tribune reported that a man was shot and killed by federal agents, citing Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara. The man was shot multiple times during an encounter with federal agents in south Minneapolis, according to multiple sources familiar with the incident, according to the Tribune.
Investigators told the Tribune that a video circulating online taken outside Glam Doll Donuts shows investigators pushing a man to the ground before gunshots ring out.
The Tribune reported that Minneapolis officials urged the public to avoid the area and remain calm as local law enforcement and state patrol troopers arrived to separate protesters and ICE agents.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) also joined in calling for an end to ICE operations in Minnesota.
“The world is watching. Thousands of citizens stopped and harassed. Local police can’t do their jobs anymore. Children are in hiding. Schools are closed. Let’s get ICE out of Minnesota now,” she said in an X post.
The shooting escalated a tense standoff between Minnesota authorities and federal immigration officials that had been going on for weeks. Earlier this month, ICE agents shot and killed 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good during a raid. This sparked widespread protests and fueled a political backlash against the federal investigation.
