Federal Border Patrol and other federal immigration agents shot and killed a man during an enforcement operation in south Minneapolis near 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue; witness video shows agents tackling the man before gunfire, and DHS says a handgun and two magazines were recovered. President Trump defended the agents on Truth Social, saying they "had to protect themselves" and alleging local officials had "called off" police support for ICE, while Gov. Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey and protesters condemned the shooting and demanded the federal operation be ended.
