Overview

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said hundreds more ICE and Border Patrol personnel are being deployed to Minnesota starting Sunday.
  • The FBI is leading the investigation exclusively, and Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and local prosecutors say they were denied access to evidence after an expected joint probe was reversed.
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz challenged the federal self‑defense narrative, pointing to bystander video they say does not show an officer being run over.
  • Organizers reported more than 1,000 demonstrations nationwide, with large marches in Minneapolis and several arrests following clashes that included the use of pepper balls outside a federal facility.
  • DHS rebutted celebrity criticism after Billie Eilish labeled ICE a “terrorist group,” asserting released footage backs its account and identifying the shooter as ICE agent Jonathan Ross.
