Trump Threatens Insurrection Act as Protests Over Minneapolis ICE Operations Grow

A fire-department report confirms Renee Good suffered four gunshot wounds.

Overview

  • Federal officials have identified ICE officer Jonathan Ross as the shooter in Good’s death during an early January operation.
  • DHS says a different officer fired in self-defense in a Wednesday arrest that left a man wounded, a claim critics challenge as unverified.
  • Roughly 2,000–3,000 federal agents are deployed in the Twin Cities, and demonstrations outside the federal building have drawn tear gas and arrests.
  • Minnesota, Minneapolis and St. Paul have sued the Department of Homeland Security to halt Operation Metro Surge on constitutional grounds.
  • President Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act has been condemned by state and local leaders who are urging peaceful protest.
