Overview

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said hundreds of additional officers will arrive Sunday and Monday to protect ICE and Border Patrol personnel in Minneapolis.
  • DHS has already dispatched about 2,000 federal officers to the area in what the department has described as its largest operation to date.
  • The shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer is under dispute, with Minnesota officials citing video they say shows her car turning away as Noem defends the agent’s actions as self-defense.
  • The FBI is running a federal investigation while Minnesota has launched its own criminal probe after state officials said they were denied access to federal case materials.
  • Protests have grown in Minneapolis and across the country, with some confrontations reported, and Noem warned that impeding federal operations or committing violence could lead to arrest and prosecution.
