State and local officials demanded that the immigration agents leave Minnesota after the unidentified Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot 37-year-old mother of three Renee Good in the head on Wednesday. But Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said agents won`t be going anywhere

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has deployed more than 2,000 officers to the area in what it says is its largest immigration enforcement operation ever. Noem said more than 1,500 people have already been arrested

Dozens of protesters gathered Thursday outside of a federal building on the edge of Minneapolis that is serving as a major base for the immigration crackdown. They shouted "No More ICE," "Go Home Nazis," and other slogans as Border Patrol officers pushed them back from the gate, doused them with pepper spray and fired tear gas

"We should be horrified," protester Shanta Hejmadi said. "We should be saddened that our government is waging war on our citizens. We should get out and say no. What else can we do?"

For Stephanie Abel, the shooting and protests stirred up memories of how Minneapolis felt after police killed George Floyd in 2020. Abel, whose daughter was taking part in the demonstration, said she`s started carrying cash and making sure her gas tank is full because she thinks Good`s killing could spark the sort of widespread protests that broke out after Floyd`s death, which were sometimes violent
