But Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said agents won&#8217;t be going anywhere.The Department of Homeland Security has deployed more than 2,000 officers to the area in what it says is its largest immigration enforcement operation ever. Noem said more than 1,500 people have already been arrested.Dozens of protesters gathered early Thursday outside of a federal building on the edge of Minneapolis that is serving as a major base for the immigration crackdown. They shouted \u201cNo More ICE,\u201d \u201cGo Home Nazis,\u201d \u201cQuit Your Job,\u201d and \u201cJustice Now!\u201d as Border Patrol officers pushed them back from the gate and fired smoke grenades.\u201cWe should be horrified,&#8221; protester Shanta Hejmadi said. \u201cWe should be saddened that our government is waging war on our citizens. We should get out and say no. What else can we do?\u201dBystanders captured video of Macklin Good&#8217;s killing in a residential neighborhood south of downtown, and hundreds of people turned up for a Wednesday night vigil to mourn her and urge the public to resist the immigration crackdown. Some then chanted as they marched through the city, but there was no violence.\u201cI would love for ICE to leave our city and for more community members to come to see it happens,\u201d said Sander Kolodziej, a painter who came to the vigil to support the community.The videos of the shooting show an officer approaching an SUV stopped across the middle of the road, demanding the driver open the door and grabbing the handle. The Honda Pilot begins to pull forward, and a different ICE officer standing in front of it pulls his weapon and immediately fires at least two shots at close range, jumping back as the vehicle moves toward him.It is not clear from the videos if the vehicle makes contact with the officer, and there is no indication of whether the woman had interactions with ICE agents earlier. After the shooting the SUV speeds into two cars parked on a curb before crashing to a stop.Video above: Witness describes Minneapolis shooting involving ICE 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In another recording made afterward, a woman who identifies Macklin Good as her spouse is seen crying near the vehicle.

An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot, to protect himself and the people around him.\u201dPresident Donald Trump made similar accusations on social media and defended ICE\u2019s work.Noem alleged that the woman was part of a \u201cmob of agitators\u201d and said the officer followed his training. She said the FBI would investigate.But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called Noem\u2019s version of events \u201cgarbage.\u201d\u201cThey are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense,\u201d Frey said. \u201cHaving seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is .\u201dHe also criticized the federal deployment and said the agents should leave.The head of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said Thursday that the U.S. attorney\u2019s office had barred it from taking part in the investigation.BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said in a statement that after the agency consulted with the Hennepin County Attorney\u2019s Office, the U.S. attorney\u2019s office and the FBI following the shooting, it was decided that the BCA Force Investigations Unit would conduct a joint investigation with the FBI. But he said the FBI later informed the BCA that the U.S. attorney\u2019s office had changed the plan.\u201cThe investigation would now be led solely by the FBI, and the BCA would no longer have access to the case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation,\u201d Evans wrote.\u201cWithout complete access to the evidence, witnesses and information collected, we cannot meet the investigative standards that Minnesota law and the public demands. As a result, the BCA has reluctantly withdrawn from the investigation. The BCA Force Investigations Unit was designed to ensure consistency, accountability and public confidence, none of which can be achieved without full cooperation and jurisdictional clarity,\u201d he wrote.The shooting marked a dramatic escalation of the latest in a series of immigration enforcement operations in major cities under the Trump administration. Wednesday&#8217;s is at least the fifth death linked to the crackdowns.The Twin Cities have been on edge since DHS announced the operation\u2019s launch Tuesday, at least partly tied to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents.A crowd of protesters gathered at the scene after the shooting to vent their anger at local and federal officers.In a scene that hearkened back to crackdowns in Los Angeles and Chicago, people chanted \u201cICE out of Minnesota\u201d and blew whistles that have become ubiquitous during the operations.Gov. Tim Walz said he was prepared to deploy the National Guard if necessary. He expressed outrage over the shooting but called on people to keep protests peaceful.\u201cThey want a show,\u201d Walz said. \u201cWe can\u2019t give it to them.\u201dThere were calls on social media to prosecute the officer who shot Macklin Good.Commissioner Bob Jacobson of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety said state authorities would investigate the shooting with federal authorities.Video above: Tim Walz on fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis___Associated Press reporters Steve Karnowski, Ed White in Detroit, Valerie Gonzalez in Brownsville, Texas, Mark Vancleave in Las Vegas, Michael Biesecker In Washington, Jim Mustian in New York and Hallie Golden in Seattle contributed.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tMINNEAPOLIS \u2014 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Minneapolis was on edge Thursday following the fatal shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer taking part in the Trump administration\u2019s latest immigration crackdown, with protesters venting their outrage, the governor urging restraint and schools canceling classes as a precaution.<\/p>\n<p>State and local officials demanded ICE leave Minnesota after the unidentified ICE officer shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in the head Wednesday morning.
