Overview
- Thousands rallied in Minneapolis and cities including Los Angeles, New York, Washington and Portland, with organizers citing more than 1,000 planned events under the “ICE Out for Good” banner.
- Minnesota officials say the FBI has taken sole control of the investigation and blocked state access to case materials, and three Minnesota members of Congress reported being turned away from an ICE facility during a Saturday visit attempt.
- The White House and DHS defend the shooting as self‑defense, while videos circulated by activists and statements from local officials challenge that account as the narrative remains in dispute.
- The fatal encounter occurred during what DHS calls its largest enforcement operation, with roughly 2,000 additional federal agents deployed to Minnesota and further reinforcements announced.
- On Capitol Hill, Democrats and some Republicans are pressing for a full inquiry, new limits on DHS/ICE authorities and potential funding restrictions, with a few Democrats urging impeachment proceedings against Secretary Kristi Noem.
