Democratic leaders across Minnesota are calling for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to leave Minneapolis and are urging residents to “remain calm” after a federal immigration officer shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in the city during an immigration enforcement operation on Wednesday.
“We’ve dreaded this moment since the early stages of this ICE presence in Minneapolis,” Jacob Frey, Minneapolis’s Democratic mayor, said at a news conference on Wednesday afternoon after the shooting. “They are not here to cause safety in this city. What they are doing is not to provide safety in America. What they are doing in causing chaos and distrust.”
