Tensions escalated in Minneapolis after afatal shooting Wednesday duringa federal immigration enforcement operation, when 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent.
Federal officials said Good attempted todrive her vehicle toward agentsduring the encounter, a claim disputed by family members and some local leaders.The shooting led to agitators taking to the streets and heightened scrutiny of federal enforcement activity in the city, contributing to repeated confrontations between demonstrators and federal agents.
City officials said residents have raised concerns about neighborhood access, with multiple 311 calls requesting barrier removal.While memorials created by community members will remain intact, the city said surrounding streets must stay clear to ensure emergency access.
