Photos capture new protests after second ICE shooting in Minneapolis
Federal agents shoot man in the leg in Minneapolis sparking protests
Federal agents were conducting a “targeted” traffic stop when the Venezuelan national attempted to flee the scene, according to DHS.
Tensions over Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions continued to surge in Minneapolis after a federal officer shot a person in the leg on Jan. 14, photos and videos from the city showed.
A man, whom the Department of Homeland Security said is a Venezuelan national living in the United States without authorization, was shot in the leg by a federal officer, a week after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good.
In the latest incident, DHS said the man drove away during a “targeted traffic stop” and crashed into a parked vehicle before taking off on foot around 6:50 p.m. local time. After one of the federal officers attempted to apprehend the man, two other people arrived from a nearby apartment, and all three started attacking the officer, DHS claimed.
After Good’s death, protests erupted in Minneapolis amid the immigration enforcement surge ordered by President Donald Trump.
Photos and videos from the city after the latest shooting showed troves of protesters and federal officers alike taking to the streets as tear gas clouded the air.
