Overview
- Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey defended his profane call for ICE to leave the city and mocked claims an agent was badly hurt, urging the public to review available videos.
- The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension exited the case after saying the FBI would not grant access to materials it needs, leaving the federal bureau in sole control of the probe.
- Federal officials characterized the shooting as self-defense, with Homeland Security leaders using harsh labels, while Frey dismissed Vice President J.D. Vance’s “absolute immunity” comment as bizarre.
- New footage cited Friday was interpreted differently across outlets, with some reports saying it shows the driver steering away and others saying it supports near contact with the agent, as policing experts raised training questions.
- Protests spread to cities including Austin, Boston, Cincinnati, Dallas, and New York, Portland officials decried a separate Border Patrol shooting that injured two people, and no criminal charges have been announced.
