A fatal shooting in Minnesota has triggered protests and vigils after a woman was killed during an operation involving US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Authorities said the incident occurred during an enforcement action connected to immigration activity, though investigations are ongoing into the precise circumstances of the shooting. Law enforcement officials stated that multiple agencies were involved and that the case is being reviewed to establish accountability.
The woman’s death prompted demonstrations in Minneapolis and surrounding areas, with protesters calling for greater transparency, limits on ICE operations, and accountability for the use of force. Community leaders and activists held vigils to honour the victim and expressed concern about the impact of immigration enforcement on local communities.
Minnesota officials said they are cooperating with federal investigators while also conducting state-level reviews. The shooting has added to a broader national debate over immigration enforcement practices, public safety, and the role of federal agencies operating alongside local police.
