The City of Minneapolis is aware of a shooting involving a federal agent at 34th Street and Portland Ave. We are working to confirm additional information, but what we know is that the presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city and making our community less safe.
"We are demanding that ICE leave the city and state immediately," said Mayor Jacob Frey, City of Minneapolis. "We stand by our immigrant and refugee communities – know that you have our full support."
