   Thank you President Trump!

   infringed."   
      
   Blowing away Americunt turds must be fun.   Who doesn't fantasize about

   Man Killed In Minnesota Shooting Involving Federal Agents Was U.S. Citizen,   
   Police Say (Live Updates)   
      
      
      
   The man fatally shot by federal agents Saturday morning in Minneapolis was   
   a U.S. citizen who lived in the city, according to local authorities, the   
   latest in a series of escalating events related to a large federal presence   
   in Minnesota.   
   Federal Agents Descend On Minneapolis For Immigration Enforcement   
   Operations   
   Federal agents wearing gas masks walk towards protestors with tear gas in   
   the air on January 24, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Earlier agents   
   allegedly shot and killed a protestor amid a scuffle to arrest him. The   
   Trump administration has sent a reported 3,000 federal agents into the   
   area, with more on the way, as they make a push to arrest undocumented   
   immigrants in the region.

   Key Facts   
      
   The group of federal agents, shown in a video shared on Facebook, took the   
   man to the ground and began punching him before at least 10 shots were   
   fired outside Glam Doll Donuts on the south side of the city, with the man   
   going limp.   
      
   In an afternoon press briefing, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said   
   the victim was a 37-year-old American citizen who was shot multiple times.   
      
   Earlier on Saturday, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary   
   Tricia McLaughlin said federal agents “were conducting a targeted operation   
   in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault,” who   
   she said was armed with a semi-automatic handgun.   
      
   The federal agents tried to disarm the man, but when he “violently   
   resisted,” an agent “fearing for his life and the lives and safety of   
   fellow officers” fired defensive shots that killed the man, McLaughlin   
   said.   
      
   McLaughlin claimed the victim “wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law   
   enforcement,” but O’Hara did not corroborate those details in comments   
   Saturday afternoon, saying the victim was a lawful gun owner who had a   
   permit to carry.   
   “unlawful Assembly” Declared In Minneapolis   
      
   O’Hara described “an incredibly volatile scene in south Minneapolis right   
   now,” as authorities have deployed tear gas and other deterrents Saturday   
   in an attempt to disperse a growing crowd of protesters following the   
   shooting. The police chief said local authorities “have given multiple   
   warnings” for the crowd to disperse. KARE reported federal authorities were   
   deploying chemical irritants toward hundreds of protesters who had gathered   
   in the area, with the City of Minneapolis urging residents “to remain calm   
   and avoid the immediate area.”   
   Shooting Is Latest Involving Federal Agents In Minnesota   
      
   The shooting comes weeks after Renee Good was fatally shot by a U.S.   
   Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis, leading to   
   nationwide protests and renewed calls to abolish ICE. A week after Good was   
   killed, a Venezuelan man was shot in the leg in Minneapolis after federal   
   officials said he assaulted an agent.   
   Crucial Quote   
      
   “How many more residents, how many more Americans, need to die or get badly   
   hurt for this operation to end?” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said in an   
   afternoon press conference. “How many more lives need to be lost before   
   this administration realizes a political and partisan narrative is not as   
   important to American values?”   
   Minnesota Democrats Make Demands To Trump   
      
   Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., who earlier in the week filed paperwork to run   
   for governor in Minnesota, said she is gathering information on Saturday’s   
   shooting but made a call to federal authorities: “To the Trump   
   administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get   
   ICE out of our state NOW.” Gov. Tim Walz made similar remarks on X,   
   writing, “Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end   
   this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of   
   Minnesota. Now.” He later wrote that he told White House officials it must   
   be Minnesota investigators, not federal authorities, who lead the   
   investigation. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., referred to the shooting as an   
   “execution by immigration enforcement,” saying she is “absolutely   
   heartbroken, horrified, and appalled that federal agents murdered another   
   member of our community.”
