United States federal agents have shot another person in Minneapolis, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said, amid an immigration crackdown in the city.
Walz said on Saturday that he had spoken to the White House after the “horrific shooting” incident, which took place amid a weeks-long deployment of US immigration enforcement and other federal agents to Minneapolis.
“Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now,” Walz wrote on social media.
The exact circumstances of Saturday’s shooting, as well as the identity and condition of the person who was shot, were not immediately clear.
Video footage circulating on social media showed a group of US law enforcement officers wrestling a person to the ground before several gunshots were heard.
The shooting comes just weeks after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed a Minneapolis woman named Renee Nicole Good in her car earlier this month.
