Shooting comes less than three weeks after Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE officer in the city
Minnesotans have been protesting against the White House’s decision to flood the relatively small, liberal midwestern city of Minneapolis with federal immigration enforcement personnel in recent weeks.
Those demonstrations have become a daily constant in much greater volume since an ICE officer shot dead resident (and US citizen) Renee Good on 7 January instead of stepping out of the way of her departing car.
At the time there were fears of a things slipping out of control in the city if protests turned into riots or mass law-breaking.
But in fact demonstrations have been fierce but very much in control. Federal officers and agents from ICE officers to the border patrol have drawn outrage for aggressive and sometimes violent tactics against people they are targeting for immigration enforcement but also against protesters and mere bystanders or passersby.
