Minneapolis: New Protests After 37-Year-Old Shot Dead by Federal Agents

The fatal shooting of a 37-year-old American by federal agents in Minneapolis has sparked new protests, intensifying the already tense situation in the city due to operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The incident comes just weeks after the death of another American woman shot by an ICE agent. The Trump administration claims the agent was threatened, however, video footage released shows agents shooting the man multiple times while he was already restrained. Protesters denounce the violence and the unjustified use of force by federal authorities. The incident has provoked strong reactions in the political arena, with Democrats threatening to block funding for the federal government. The Governor of Minnesota is calling for the investigation to be handed over to local authorities, expressing a lack of confidence in the federal police.
