Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Minneapolis as part of nationwide demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) action after the fatal shootings of two US citizens by federal agents.
Protests were also held in cities across the US, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington DC, with organisers calling on Americans to stay home from work and school.
The deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have ignited local protests and caused public outcry across the country, and led to criticism from lawmakers in both parties.
Earlier on Friday, the US Justice Department opened a civil rights investigation into Pretti's death.
Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, was the second Minneapolis resident shot and killed by federal immigration officials since their arrival in the state. The first, Renee Good, was killed by an Immigration and Customs Border Enforcement (ICE) agent on 7 January.
