Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Saturday called on President Donald Trump to end sweeping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the state after a second fatal shooting this month by federal agents in Minneapolis.
“I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning,” Walz wrote in a post on X. “Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”
The president has been briefed on the shooting, MS Now reported, citing a White House official.
At a briefing Saturday afternoon, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said authorities had identified the victim as a 37-year-old white male and Minneapolis resident, adding that the man had no known criminal history beyond traffic citations.
“The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets, and we believe he is a lawful gun owner with a permit,” O’Hara said, though he noted details surrounding the encounter remain under review.
O’Hara said his department has been in touch with the Department of Homeland Security, but that it has not provided specific details around the incident itself.
“At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement on X. “An individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.
Well, untrained, violent, unwanted and dangerous goons were turned loose by Trump and Vance and Noem and citizens of Minnesota get killed by these Gestapo goons.
Not good for us in Minnesota. Not good for the USA. Not good for JD who will not use the 25th Amendment despite what the entire world can see. Trump's lost full contact with reality and is a ticking time bomb. If it were a private person like that it would be a common and sad thing. It's the President, with immense powers. Who needs to be shut down for the good of the entire planet.
