Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz announced that federal agents had carried out "another horrific shooting" as part of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said on Saturday that federal agents deployed in Minneapolis as part of a sweeping immigration crackdown had carried out "another horrific shooting," less than three weeks after the fatal shooting of Renee Good.
It has since been confirmed by authorities that the man was later pronounced dead.
An unconfirmed video circulated online, showing a person who appeared to have been shot during a street disturbance, with several gunshots heard and at least one person in the vicinity wearing a vest marked "Police".
"I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening," Walz said on X.
In a statement of its own, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that an individual had approached officers with a semi-automatic handgun. After a struggle to disarm the man, "fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots."
The man was pronounced dead by medics at the scene, the statement said, adding that he had two magazines in his possession and no identification.
