Federal officers shot people in separate incidents this week, including a fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis and injuries to two people in Portland. The administration described both shootings as acts of self‑defense. The Department of Homeland Security is continuing an immigration enforcement operation in the Twin Cities that involves thousands of officers. Organizers have planned nationwide demonstrations for Saturday, often under the name ICE Out for Good.
Key facts:
- One federal officer fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis and another officer shot and wounded two people in Portland, as reported.
- The administration said officers acted in self‑defense and described drivers as having used vehicles against officers.
- The Department of Homeland Security says its Twin Cities operation is its largest, involving more than 2,000 officers.
- Indivisible and local groups said hundreds of protests are scheduled across many states, and a Minneapolis coalition called for a demonstration at Powderhorn Park near where 37‑year‑old Renee Good was shot; neighborhood demonstrations have largely been peaceful.
Summary:
Planned nationwide demonstrations follow the shootings and coincide with an ongoing federal immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota. Protests are scheduled for Saturday; the status of any formal investigations or legal steps beyond these reports is undetermined at this time.
