\n Hundreds of Border Patrol officers are mobilizing<\/a> to bolster the president\u2019s crackdown on immigration in snowy Minneapolis, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday, as tensions between federal law enforcement and local counterparts flare after an ICE-involved shooting last week left a mother of three dead<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n Videos of the incident are still emerging, and there\u2019s more to be learned<\/a>, but the surge is the latest development in the monthslong spat between the Democratic-led city and the federal government after President Donald Trump first ramped up operations<\/a> against Somali Minnesotans in December.\n <\/p>\n

\n Officials in the North Star State have continued to echo each other\u2019s calls for immigration officials to cooperate with local law enforcement and leave \u2013 which has prompted biting rhetoric<\/a> in return from federal officials.\n <\/p>\n

\n After a weekend fraught with high-level name calling, new shooting videos surfacing and widespread protests, here\u2019s the latest.\n <\/p>\n

\n On Saturday, DHS posted a new video on X<\/a> showing the three minutes and 30 seconds that preceded an ICE agent\u2019s gunfire<\/a>, which struck and killed Minnesota woman Renee Good on Wednesday.\n <\/p>\n

\n The new video shows Good\u2019s vehicle \u2014 a maroon Honda Pilot \u2014 partially blocking the street. Several vehicles that stopped behind her appear to belong to federal agents, based on activity observed in other videos.\n <\/p>\n

\n In its post, DHS claimed, without providing evidence, Good was \u201cstalking and impeding a law enforcement operation over the course of the morning.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Several vehicles pass Good\u2019s car during the video. About 40 seconds into the clip, the camera focuses on Good moving in her vehicle as the sound of honking can be heard, but it\u2019s unclear where the honking is coming from.\n <\/p>\n

\n Three minutes in, law enforcement sirens go off and there are more car horns. At 3:11, two vehicles pass Good\u2019s car. A truck that appears to belong to a federal agent pulls up perpendicular to Good, and agents get out of the vehicle. Good appears to be motioning to them with her hands.\n <\/p>\n

\n The agents then exit the vehicle and the video cuts off right before the deadly shooting.\n <\/p>\n

\n DHS\u2019 post came the day after CNN obtained cellphone video<\/a> of the interaction captured by the agent who fired at Good, Jonathan Ross.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ross\u2019s video does not show if the SUV made contact with him, as the camera angle jerks up to the sky. An earlier video<\/a> shot by a bystander shows the SUV may have made contact as it lurches forward, and he moves to the side.\n <\/p>\n

\n DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said Ross\u2019s video backs up what the agency has said<\/a> \u2013 that the ICE agent acted in self-defense.\n <\/p>\n

\n The shooting itself is not visible, but three gunshots are heard as the phone in his hand jostles further and then is facing the house behind Ross.\n <\/p>\n

Conflict between local and federal officials reach new heights<\/p>\n

\n Tensions trickled onto the national stage Sunday morning as Noem called on officials in Minnesota to \u201cgrow up,\u201d following their complaints that federal agencies aren\u2019t cooperating with state and local officials investigating Good\u2019s killing.\n <\/p>\n

\n Noem homed in on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who she said have politicized the shooting and encouraged \u201cdestruction\u201d and \u201cviolence\u201d in the city.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThey\u2019ve extremely politicized and inappropriately talked about the situation on the ground in their city. They have inflamed the public. They have encouraged the kind of destruction and violence that we have seen in Minneapolis the last several days,\u201d Noem said on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d Sunday.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI would encourage them to grow up, get some maturity, act like people who are responsible, who want people to be safe, and the right thing be done,\u201d she said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Moments later, Frey strongly condemned the incident to CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper and urged ICE officers to get out of Minneapolis.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cShe\u2019s calling Minneapolis this dystopian hellhole. You know how many shootings we\u2019ve had so far this year? Two, and one of them was ICE,\u201d Frey told Tapper.\n <\/p>\n

\n Frey doubled down on his assertion that the officer who shot Good was \u201ca federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAm I biased in this? Of course. I\u2019m biased, because I got two eyes. Anybody can see these videos, anybody can see that this victim is not a domestic terrorist,\u201d Frey said.\n <\/p>\n

\n The mayor called for an independent investigation into the shooting. The Justice Department has blocked state investigators<\/a> from participating in the probe.\n <\/p>\n

\n In DC, Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar said the federal government is stoking \u201cchaos\u201d with its heavy-handed immigration enforcement efforts in the wake of last week\u2019s shooting death of a US citizen.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWhat we have seen in Minneapolis is ICE agents oftentimes jumping out of their cars. These are unmarked cars. Oftentimes they\u2019re wearing a mask,\u201d Omar said on CBS\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation\u201d on Sunday. \u201cWhat they are doing is creating confusion, chaos, trying to intimidate people from being able to exercise their regular, normal activities that they would.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Omar, accompanied by fellow Minnesota Democratic congressmembers, said she was denied access to the ICE facility<\/a> in her state on Saturday morning after being inside briefly.\n <\/p>\n

\n Noem issued a directive on Thursday barring lawmakers from visiting detention facilities<\/a> without a week\u2019s notice, McLaughlin said in a statement, due to \u201cescalating riots and political violence targeting buildings and facilities used by ICE.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The DHS secretary acted to \u201censure adequate protection for Members of Congress, congressional staff, detainees, and ICE employees alike,\u201d McLaughlin said in Sunday\u2019s statement.\n <\/p>\n

\n As outrage has grown following Good\u2019s death, more than 1,000 demonstrations<\/a> were planned across the United States over the weekend in protest of the Trump administration\u2019s surge of immigration action in Minneapolis and elsewhere.\n <\/p>\n

\"People<\/p>\n

\n Saturday\u2019s massive protest in the Twin Cities took many shapes throughout the day, starting at Powderhorn Park<\/a>, a historic spot for demonstrations, known as the prime gathering place for the 2020 George Floyd protests. After marching through a Minneapolis neighborhood, the crowd of thousands gathered on the street where Good was fatally shot.\n <\/p>\n

\n At the site that has become the center of furious debate over the Trump administration\u2019s immigration crackdown, snow flurries fell on Minnesotans sharing warm drinks and blankets as they chanted for justice in their state.\n <\/p>\n

\n On the other side of the country in Los Angeles, a police helicopter\u2019s search light beamed down on protesters on Alameda Street, who were outfitted with upside-down American flags and handmade anti-ICE posters.\n <\/p>\n

\n The street was also the site of clashes between protesters and police<\/a> in June last year, when crowds gathered to rally against immigration raids and Trump\u2019s deployment of the National Guard.\n <\/p>\n

\n With signs declaring, \u201cThe Trump Fascist Regime MUST GO NOW!!\u201d And \u201cWAKE UP AMERICA,\u201d protesters marched in front of the White House despite the steady rain across the capital.\n <\/p>\n

\n One protester, Claudia Schur, joined the march to share her grievances against several Trump administration actions.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThere\u2019s no rules anymore, no shame, no integrity,\u201d Schur said while holding a sign that said, \u201cICE Out.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s just a country I can\u2019t even, I can\u2019t, I don\u2019t recognize.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Julia Doherty \u2014 who marched alongside Schur \u2014 said she\u2019s concerned about the polarization among Americans.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThere\u2019s no sense of community. We\u2019re just so polarized, it\u2019s horrifying,\u201d Doherty said. \u201cAnd we need to stand up and do whatever we can to, to effect change.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
