Protestors who want to speak out about the fatal shooting of Renee Good face a barrage of conflicting directives from authorities.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz encouraged protestors to record federal immigration authorities: "Help us establish a record of exactly what’s happening in our communities," Walz said in an appeal to his state's residents.
But the Trump administration has framed groups that monitor and track ICE as improperly keeping the agency from completing immigration removals.
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin has said posting photos and videos of ICE agents online is "doxxing" and threatened to "prosecute those who illegally harass ICE agents to the fullest extent of the law."
"Gov. Walz is encouraging obstruction to federal law enforcement which is a federal crime and felony," McLaughlin told USA TODAY. "He is putting his own constituents in potentially dangerous and criminal situations."
