The killing of a woman by an immigration officer in Minneapolis has ignited coast-to-coast outrage and competing versions of what led to the gunfire.
Minneapolis Shooting
Federal authorities say an ICE agent discharged his weapon during an enforcement action, killing Renee Nicole Good. The encounter happened Wednesday, though officials have not detailed what prompted the agent to shoot.
Protesters dispute the official account. Vigils sprouted overnight in multiple cities as demonstrators demanded transparency and a halt to aggressive immigration arrests.
Portland Incident
Hours later, another federal operation turned violent in Oregon. The FBI confirmed that two people suffered injuries when federal agents opened fire in Portland yesterday afternoon.
Investigators have released few specifics, but the bureau stressed it is leading an inquiry into the circumstances.
Political Fallout
President Trump, speaking to Fox News Thursday morning, claimed a “previously expected” second wave of military action against Venezuela is no longer necessary. He cited Caracas’ cooperation on U.S. plans to rebuild Venezuelan oil infrastructure after the extradition of President Nicolás Maduro.
In the same interview, Trump vowed the U.S. will begin striking drug cartels “on land” and highlighted their reach inside Mexico.
Key Takeaways
- Nationwide protests follow the fatal Minneapolis shooting by an ICE agent
- A separate federal shooting in Portland left two injured and is under FBI review
- Trump says further Venezuela strikes are on hold amid oil-deal talks
- The president also threatened offensive operations against Mexican cartels
The back-to-back shootings thrust federal immigration and drug operations into an already volatile national spotlight.
