Man dies after being shot by federal agents in second Minneapolis incident

According to the DHS, the shooting occurred while law enforcement officers were conducting an operation against a "wanted" illegal migrant.

While conducting the operation, a man approached the officers with a firearm.

Officers were forced to fire defensive shots while trying to disarm the suspect.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

DHS wrote on X: "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, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun.

"The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming.

"Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots.

"Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.

"The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.

"About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement.

"This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming."

In a press conference following the shooting, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the man shot was a 37-year-old American citizen from the city.

He added the man was a lawful gun owner and had permission to carry it before confirming multiple federal agents were involved in the shooting

Mr O'Hara urged the public to stay calm and avoid the area.

Also speaking in the press conference, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey urged President Donald Trump to end the Ice operation in the city where some 3,000 have been deployed.

Before the DHS statement, city officials confirmed a shooting had taken place in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave and told the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area.

Writing on social media, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said he had been in touch with the White House.

“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.”

The shooting follows the fatal shooting of protester Renee Good by Ice agents in Minneapolis on January 7.

Ms Good, a US citizen and mother of three, was attempting to block traffic and disrupt the officers' activities before appearing to drive at one of the agents who then shot her in self-defence.

Federal authorities said Ms Good attempted to use her car as a weapon and posed a danger to the Ice agent, which led to the use of lethal force.

Vice President JD Vance has spoken in defence of Jonathan Ross, the Ice officer accused of killing the woman.

Mr Vance said the driver "violated the law" and that the officer had every reason to fear for his life.

The latest shooting came amid a backdrop of violent protests in the city where about 15,000 protesters have taken to the streets.

The Trump administration has sent thousands of immigration agents to the Minneapolis area in recent weeks as part of a campaign to ramp up deportations of people in the country without authorisation.
