Minneapolis streets became battlegrounds overnight as protesters clashed with police following another controversial shooting involving immigration agents. This marks the second such incident in 2026, sparking renewed debates about law enforcement practices.
Federal authorities claim an ICE agent shot a man during what they describe as a 'violent shovel attack,' while community organizers counter that video evidence shows "excessive force against unarmed residents". The clash comes just three months after a similar fatal encounter made national headlines.
Mayor Jacob Frey told reporters: 'We're seeing patterns that mirror the civil unrest of 2020. This cycle must break.' Local activists have organized nightly vigils demanding federal oversight, with one organizer stating: "Our community feels like it's under siege from both sides."
📱 Social media trends show #JusticeForMinneapolis gaining traction globally, while conservative commentators highlight #BackTheBlue hashtags. The White House has yet to comment on the escalating situation.
