preCharge News MINNESOTA — A person is dead after a shooting in Minneapolis earlier on Saturday involving federal immigration agents from Customs and Border Protection, a U.S. official with knowledge of the incident tells preCharge News.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said he has spoken to the White House “after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning.” 

“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 said.

The shooting occurred near Nicollet Avenue and 26th Street in south Minneapolis. City officials identified the victim as a man. Federal agents and protesters are clashing in the area, and WCCO reporter Adam Duxter confirmed agents deployed chemical irritants.

“We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area,” a social media statement from the city read.  

Two Department of Homeland Security officials told preCharge News the person shot had a firearm.

Saturday’s killing comes less than three weeks after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot Renee Good in south Minneapolis.
