Minneapolis Protests: 29 Arrested After ICE Agent Shooting

Twenty-nine people were arrested during overnight protests in Minneapolis following the death of a 37-year-old woman shot by an ICE agent, Mayor Jacob Frey said in a press conference Saturday. The Minneapolis Police Chief, Brian O’Hara, stated that one officer was injured during the police response to the protests. The case has sparked outrage and highlighted tensions between local and federal authorities over immigration policy. Frey called the government’s narrative – that the woman, Renée Good, intentionally drove her car toward the officer – “garbage.” Similar incidents have occurred in Portland, Oregon, where a Border Patrol agent shot and injured two people inside a car. The statements from the mayors of Minneapolis and Portland underscore the erosion of trust between local and federal officials due to the Trump administration’s immigration policies. The investigation into the 37-year-old woman’s death remains ongoing.
