Minneapolis remains tense this week as President Donald Trump’s border policy chief Tom Holman arrives Thursday, following two fatal shootings involving federal agents that sparked nationwide outrage. Residents held vigils across the city Wednesday night, demanding transparency after social media footage appeared to contradict official claims about the latest incident.
📱 Viral videos circulating online show the moments before 24-year-old construction worker Marco Torres was shot. While authorities claim Torres 'approached agents with a firearm,' blurred clips suggest he may have been holding a phone. 'We’re tired of being told one story while seeing another,' local activist Priya Kapoor told crowds at a memorial site.
Holman’s visit comes amid growing calls for congressional hearings on border patrol practices. The White House has yet to confirm whether he’ll meet with victims’ families during his Minnesota trip. Meanwhile, Minneapolis Mayor Alicia Chen announced plans for independent body-cam reviews of all federal-local law enforcement interactions.
