The FBI has asked agents from field offices across the United States to voluntarily travel to Minneapolis for temporary assignments as the city reels from anti-ICE protests and the fatal shooting of Renee Good, according to two sources.

The request was first reported by Bloomberg and confirmed by a law enforcement official familiar with the messages and another source familiar with the requests who has seen the messages.

The messages sent to agents and field offices were not clear about what the exact assignment would be for volunteers who do relocate. The second source told NBC News that the agents will investigate “AFO” cases — an FBI designation to identify and charge suspects accused of assault on a federal officer. Agents are also needed to investigate vandalism and theft of property from FBI vehicles, the second source added.

There has been a surge of federal immigration personnel in Minnesota, and protests have rocked the state in outrage over the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of Good in Minneapolis by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.

At the moment, the request call is voluntary, and there’s not a mass surge of FBI agents to Minneapolis, the sources said. And so far, one source said, the response has been minimal.

A spokesperson for the FBI declined to comment.

The scale of the immigration enforcement presence in Minneapolis — with roughly 3,000 federal immigration officers — appears to be greater than in previous operations in blue cities such as Chicago and Los Angeles.

Residents have described the swell of officers as “an invasion,” with agents seen in unmarked cars idling on neighborhood streets, at stores and in parking lots and going door to door.

Local officials, including Mayor Jacob Frey, have called for ICE to leave the city. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump last week threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to protesters, calling them “professional agitators and insurrectionists.”

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – On the football field, it’s Hoosiers vs. Hurricanes. In the governor’s office, it’s pork vs. crabs. 

Gov. Mike Braun challenged Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to a “friendly wager” ahead of the College Football Playoff National Championship.

The top-seeded, undefeated Indiana Hoosiers have the chance to win the University’s first ever national championship in football when they face the Miami Hurricanes on Monday. 

“Hey DeSantis,” Braun wrote on social media. “If IU loses, I’ll send you some pork from Fischer Farms, which is in my neck of the woods in Dubois County, plus some pies from the famous Wick’s Pies, including a sugar cream pie (an Indiana favorite).”

“Pork and pie for bragging rights. You in?”

A few hours later, the Florida governor accepted the challenge. 

“I am happy to oblige,” DeSantis replied. “If Indiana wins, I’ll send stone crabs and key lime pie from Joe’s Stone Crab. I will just drop them off in Naples or Marco Island since that’s basically Indiana south this time of year.”

Pork is a popular betting chip in the Braun administration. Pork from Smoking Goose was put on the line in a wager with the Oklahoma governor ahead of the 2025 NBA Finals. 

Saturday, Braun posted photos with a signed football from Indiana head coach, writing “Hey Coach Cignetti, thanks for the signed ball! I’ll see you in Miami! Let’s go Indiana Football!”

IU and Miami are scheduled to kick off at 7:50 p.m. on Monday at Hard Rock Stadium.
