The Trump administration has said it will send "hundreds more" federal officers to Minneapolis, days after the death of a woman who was shot by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in the city.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News that "hundreds more" will be sent to the area "in order to allow our ICE and our Border Patrol individuals that are working in Minneapolis to do so safely".

Protests against immigration enforcement have been held in cities across the US after 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot in her car on Wednesday.

The Trump administration says the agent acted in self-defence. Local officials insist the woman posed no danger.

Noem said the officers will arrive "today and tomorrow" and warned action would be taken if people tried to obstruct their work.
