Federal Agents Shoot Man in Minneapolis

The governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, announced on Saturday that federal police agents shot another person in Minneapolis amid a strict crackdown on immigration. The Democratic governor Walz said in a social media post that he had been in contact with the White House following the shooting. He called on President Donald Trump to end the strict campaign in his state. According to US media citing the city's police chief, a man was shot dead by federal law enforcement officers in Minneapolis less than three weeks after a woman was killed by these forces deployed as part of a campaign against illegal immigration. The Department of Homeland Security told AFP in a statement that the man was armed, without providing further details about the circumstances of the incident or confirming his death. Yesterday, Friday, the city's streets were filled with thousands of protesters demonstrating against the strict campaign against immigrants in cold weather, and they called for the withdrawal of federal law enforcement forces.
