Overview

  • Organizers say more than 1,000 rallies and vigils are set for this weekend, with demonstrations already reported in Minneapolis, Denver, Detroit, Milwaukee and Tampa.
  • Minneapolis police said at least 30 people were cited and detained after protests near hotels where ICE agents were believed to be staying, and Denver authorities warned of rolling road closures during marches.
  • Federal officials defend the shooting as self-defense by agent Jonathan Ross, while bystander and officer-shot videos are fueling disputes over whether deadly force was justified.
  • The FBI is leading the federal investigation as Minnesota and Hennepin County launch separate inquiries, with local prosecutors saying federal agents took Good’s car, shell casings and witness interviews.
  • Thousands of federal officers were sent to the Twin Cities for a large enforcement surge, additional deployments were reported, and a separate Border Patrol shooting in Portland has intensified nationwide protests.
