US – New Incident of Violence by ICE Intensifies Anger in Minnesota

A new incident of violence by an ICE agent in Minnesota has intensified the anger sparked by the cold-blooded murder of Rene Nicole Goode. According to a statement from the city authorities, an ICE agent shot a Venezuelan immigrant in the leg during an arrest operation. The Minneapolis city authorities are calling for the immediate withdrawal of ICE from the city and state, expressing their understanding of the citizens' anger. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the incident, claiming the immigrant resisted arrest and that the agent was attacked by individuals who emerged from a nearby apartment with shovels and brooms. Authorities in Minnesota have denounced ICE's actions, criticizing the door-to-door investigations carried out by the agency's officers, describing them as 'chaotic' and 'traumatic' for the community. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz denounced the lack of training and the masked nature of ICE agents. The incident comes at a time of strong reaction following Goode's murder, and is expected to lead to a further escalation of tension between the local community and federal authorities.
