Protests intensify over ICE shooting of man in Minnesota
Pro-immigration protests in Minnesota continue to intensify after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents appear to shoot a detained protester in the back, killing him.
Officials of the administration of President Donald Trump then branded the victim a domestic terrorist, sparking widespread anger.
Some top Republicans have urged Trump to pull ICE out of Minneapolis to avoid losing more innocent lives and because only more chaos is expected, with local leaders demanding the security forces involved face justice.
If ICE agents and the federal government are refusing to charge for murder, it is time for state leadership to hold these ICE agents to the Minnesota Constitution. That is what we are demanding.
We are demanding for swift justice. They are getting away with murder. That's exactly what is happening here today, and what we are seeing.
We are tired of elected officials telling us to stay calm when they are coming and hunting our neighbors.
We will be calm when justice is served. Peace will come if justice is here.

Immigration agents have opened fire in at least 19 incidents since June 2025, a reminder of how long there has been state-led violence over immigration.
You know, we had here in Chicago in September, in a suburb, ICE killed an immigrant man, Silverio, and the response here was, you know, a huge wave of protest.

The uproar seems likely to provoke another of the nation's unusual government shutdowns by the end of the week.
Public opinion has forced the Democratic Party to act. Their leadership now says they want the funding for the Department of Homeland Security to be split off from the rest of the budget bill, which is required to fund federal agencies.
The people of the country have turned against Trump. He's, he's, you know, clearly never going to get reelected.
He's almost certainly going to lose control of the House in the next election.
So he's, he's desperate, and he's, he's like a carpenter whose only tool is a hammer. So every problem he sees is a nail.

Many are accusing the federal government of employing intimidation tactics in order to scare away further protests, as well as the reckless incitement of a citizenry which polls say disapprove of how ice is handling its job by an almost two to one margin.
Polls do continue to show that a majority of Americans support Trump's deportation policy overall, underscoring the intense dissonance on the issue.
It's a dissonance which is exacerbated by widespread perceptions that federal security agents are acting outside the law.
