A man has reportedly been shot by a US federal agent in Minneapolis as tensions in the city reach new heights. Widespread protests have broken out across the Minnesota city after the death of Renee Good after a fatal shooting by an ICE agent.
According to local reports, federal immigration agents gathered on 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, where the man was shot this morning. Eyewitnesses and bystanders saw the man being wrestled to the ground by agents before being shot in the chest several times. The condition of the man is not yet known, but reports suggest paramedics performed CPR on the man before he was put in an ambulance and taken to the hospital.
The city's police department is also on the scene, where more than 100 protesters have gathered.
A video circulating online, taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts appears to show the incident.
Several agents can be seen scrapping and pulling the man to the ground before agents punch and kick him. Several gunshots can be heard before the man's body falls, and the agents quickly run away.
Following the incident, Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz hit out at the ICE agents, calling the officers "violent" and "untrained" and demanding they leave the state.
Posting to X he said he had spoken to the President's office: "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 city of Minnesota also confirmed the reports, warning the public to avoid the area.
Posting to X, it added: "We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement 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."
