Immigration agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis this Saturday, police confirmed to local media. With this, there are two incidents of this type in the city, within the framework of the large-scale raids ordered by the Government of President Donald Trump.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed the man’s death, according to statements reported by The Minnesota Star Tribune.
The event, remember EFEcame two weeks after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents shot and killed a woman in her car during their raids against migrants.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

“I just spoke with the White House after another horrible shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota is fed up. This is disgusting. The president must put an end to this operation. Remove the thousands of violent and untrained agents from Minnesota. Right now!” wrote the governor of the state of Minnesota, Tim Walz, on the X network.
The Department of Homeland Security, responsible for the increase in federal agents in Minnesota, stated that the man, killed in a struggle, was carrying a handgun and several magazines.
According to the statement, during an operation “against an illegal immigrant who was wanted for assault,” a person approached federal Border Patrol agents with a 9mm semi-automatic weapon, which they showed in a photo.
“Officers attempted to disarm the suspect, but the armed suspect violently resisted,” the statement said. “Fearing for his life and the lives of his colleagues, the agent fired defensive shots,” the statement said.
The city’s police chief stated that he was a 37-year-old white man who apparently had a weapons permit and had had no notable incidents with the security forces.
The Trump Administration has ordered large-scale raids in Minnesota since early January, when a conservative YouTuber’s documentary brought back into focus the cases of federal funds misappropriated by daycare centers operated by members of the Somali community, which the president himself has repeatedly disqualified, according to the Spanish agency.
After the fatal shooting, he specifies cnnaround “200 protesters” arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and attack law enforcement,” according to the head of the US Border Patrol, Greg Bovino. The scene generated was “total chaos,” according to this source.
