Overview

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said additional officers would arrive Sunday and Monday to support ICE and Border Patrol personnel in Minneapolis–St. Paul.
  • Roughly 2,000 federal officers are already in the Twin Cities in what DHS calls its largest operation, with the new deployments described as numbering in the hundreds.
  • Tens of thousands marched in Minneapolis on Saturday, and more than 1,000 rallies were planned nationwide over the weekend responding to the Jan. 7 shooting of Renée Good.
  • Minnesota officials argue the shooting was unjustified, citing bystander video that they say shows Good’s vehicle turning away, while federal officials maintain the agent fired in self-defense as the vehicle moved toward him.
  • Minnesota authorities launched their own criminal investigation after complaints of limited FBI cooperation, and Noem warned that impeding federal operations could lead to arrest and prosecution.
