US EditionOutrage grows as Minneapolis ICE crackdown carries on
ICE shifts to targeted enforcement after fatal shootings of two U.S. residents in Minneapolis sparked protests and criticism of broad tactics, officials say operations will focus on those with criminal records.
- On Thursday, U.S. border czar Tom Homan said federal agents in Minneapolis will shift from broad street sweeps to targeted operations, with ICE officers told to avoid engaging `agitators` and focus on immigrants with criminal records.
- Following deadly incidents earlier this month, Minneapolis has experienced protests since Renee Good was shot on January 7, and Homan was dispatched on Monday amid national outcry.
- Footage of the Saturday killing shows an agent pulling a gun from Pretti’s waistband after he was restrained, seconds before another officer fired into his back, records show two agents fired 10 times.
- As an immediate change, the administration signaled it would reduce the 3,000-strong force if Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey cooperate, while pushing for more access to Minnesota jails and prioritizing public-safety threats.
- Meanwhile, political tensions escalated as Trump administration officials defended agents and called victims `domestic terrorists`, masked agents remain unnamed, and the Justice Department charged Anthony Kazmierczak for spraying Representative Ilhan Omar with apple cider vinegar on Tuesday.
