MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Another individual was shot by federal officers in Minneapolis, coinciding with heightened tensions due to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, Governor Tim Walz announced Saturday.

In a recent social media statement, Walz, a Democrat, revealed he had reached out to the White House following the incident and demanded that federal authorities cease their aggressive actions in the state. He emphasized the need for accountability, insisting, Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin informed The Associated Press that the individual shot was armed with a firearm and two magazines, describing the situation as evolving.

Following the shooting, bystanders confronted federal agents with loud protests, denouncing their actions and branding them as cowards. In an apparently dismissive fashion, one officer reacted to the hostile crowd by saying, Boo hoo, while other agents forcefully removed a yelling protester.

This incident is the latest occurrence amidst a wave of daily protests in the Twin Cities since the January 7 shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good, who was killed when an ICE officer discharged their weapon into her vehicle. Moreover, the shooting transpired just a day after thousands of demonstrators braved the cold to rally against the harsh crackdowns on immigrants, demanding that federal forces leave the area.}
