Overview
- The U.S. Attorney's Office assigned the FBI to lead the investigation, and Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says it lost access to case files, scene evidence and interviews.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance defend the shooting as self-defense, asserting the driver tried to run over officers.
- Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rejects the self-defense claim, and video analyses by the Washington Post and New York Times indicate the officer fired from the side after moving out of immediate danger.
- Large demonstrations continue in Minneapolis and at Fort Snelling as schools close for safety, and ICE enforcement operations involving more than 2,000 federal officers continue in the Twin Cities.
- Authorities report a separate ICE-related shooting in Portland that wounded two people; Oregon's attorney general announced a review as federal claims of a gang link remain unverified.
