Minneapolis was thrown into renewed tension after a man was shot and killed by federal agents during a targeted operation, authorities confirmed on Saturday. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated the man, reportedly armed, was shot after agents feared for their lives. Medics attended the scene immediately, but he was pronounced dead.
Governor Tim Walz condemned the incident as “another horrific shooting” and called for federal officers to be withdrawn. Lawmakers including Senator Amy Klobuchar and Representative Ilhan Omar criticized the operation, describing it as excessive and accusing former President Trump of militarizing the city.
The shooting comes less than three weeks after the fatal killing of Renee Good by federal agents, which triggered protests and public outrage. DHS indicated the operation targeted an undocumented immigrant wanted for violent assault. Minneapolis continues to grapple with protests, ICE deployments, and rising scrutiny of federal tactics.
