Share on:

A new video from a fatal incident in Minneapolis has sparked outrage, showing federal agents immobilizing and fatally shooting a protester. According to reports, the victim, a 37-year-old resident of the city, was allegedly verbally attacked while recording the agents with his cell phone.

In the video, agents are seen using pepper spray and throwing the man to the ground before shooting him. The Department of Homeland Security claims the man was armed and that the agents shot in "self-defense."

Police Chief Brian O'Hara urged citizens to remain calm, while Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey expressed strong opposition to the operation. Senator Tina Smith called the incident "devastating."

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has asked the White House to withdraw the agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) service.
