A man was shot and killed by an immigration agent in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, the second fatal shooting in a little over two weeks by federal authorities in the city.
The incident follows the Jan. 7 killing of Minneapolis woman Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, by a federal agent, and comes a day after mass protests in the city over a surge of immigration officers and sweeping raids across the state.
A video of the incident appears to show a large group of federal agents struggling with a man before one of the agents pulls a gun and fires several shots. The agent continues to fire while the man lies motionless on the floor.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told the Minnesota Star Tribune that the man had died soon after, and that he had instructed his officers to preserve the scene.
The shooting prompted a wave of anger from local politicians, many of whom have been calling for the Trump Administration to bring an end to its immigration surge after accusing federal agents of using excessive force and violating the civil rights of Minnesotans.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called the shooting “sickening” and called on President Trump to end his immigration crackdown in the state.
“I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening,” Walz said in a post on X.
“The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”
Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar said: To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW.
The City of Minneapolis said in a statement on X that the shooting had taken place in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave.
“We are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area,” it added.
The shooting comes a day after thousands took to the streets across Minnesota on Friday, closing down businesses and calling out of work in a mass protest against the Trump Administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.
The “Ice Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth and Freedom” demonstration, organized by community leaders, members of the clergy, and labor unions, called for a “no work, no school, no shopping” economic blackout.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not immediately provide comment.
