Minneapolis was on edge Thursday following the fatal shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer taking part in the Trump administration`s latest immigration crackdown, with the governor calling for people to remain calm and schools cancelling classes and activities as a safety precaution.

State and local officials demanded ICE leave the state after 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good was shot in the head. But Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said agents are not going anywhere. The Department of Homeland Security has deployed more than 2000 officers to the area in what it says is its largest immigration enforcement operation ever. Noem said more than 1500 people have been arrested.
