- An ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good during a Wednesday enforcement action in south Minneapolis, with federal officials calling the gunfire defensive and witnesses disputing that account.
- Videos from outside Roosevelt High School show federal agents on or near school grounds during dismissal and deploying chemical irritants, while the teachers’ union says staff were detained and DHS denies targeting the school or using tear gas.
