Second DHS Shooting Intensifies Minneapolis Standoff Over ICE Deployments

Local leaders pursue a court order to halt the operation, following UN demands for an independent inquiry into Renée Good’s death.

Overview

  • DHS agents shot and wounded a man in the leg during an arrest attempt in north Minneapolis, with officials saying he resisted and that two bystanders who intervened were detained.
  • Governor Tim Walz condemned what he called a federal “occupation,” alleging indiscriminate stops as thousands of agents have been deployed across the region.
  • The City of Minneapolis and the State of Minnesota have sued the Trump administration seeking an injunction to remove ICE personnel, and Illinois has launched a similar challenge.
  • The UN human rights office called for a rapid, independent and transparent investigation, and authorities have acknowledged an active FBI probe into Good’s killing.
  • The White House has defended the ICE agent’s use-of-force as self-defense and announced sending hundreds more federal personnel, even as AFP debunked a viral deepfake and misattributed photos tied to the case.
