Tensions flared anew in Minneapolis on Thursday as protesters clashed with law enforcement following the shooting of a Venezuelan national by a federal agent. The incident, occurring late Wednesday in the city's north side, stemmed from an immigration enforcement operation where the man allegedly assaulted an officer with a shovel and broom after fleeing a traffic stop.
Authorities reported the man sustained a non-life-threatening leg wound, while the assaulted officer was hospitalised. This event comes just a week after a fatal ICE shooting in the area, heightening local tensions.
