KEY POINTS

  • Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced a state-led probe into a Minneapolis man's fatal shooting by federal immigration agents after federal noncooperation.
  • Videos show the man being wrestled and shot, with no clear indication he brandished a gun, while federal agents pushed back local law enforcement from the scene.
  • The Minnesota National Guard was activated to provide security amid escalating tensions following the incident and protests against ICE's expanded presence.

On a chilly January Saturday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced his state was launching an investigation into the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old Minneapolis man by federal immigration agents, after the feds repeatedly played FBI-before-2000 ‘we’re too busy’ card. Apparently, federal agents barricaded local investigators from the scene like it was an episode of "Cops: Secret Version," prompting Walz to tell the White House federal honesty levels were stuck at zero. ICE has bombarded the state with thousands of agents, with Trump accusing them of 'inciting insurrection' on Truth Social—a platform only slightly more believable than Federal DHS’s heroic seven-battalion underdog tale. Videos show the victim spraying chemical agents and being shot despite unclear gun usage, but hey, why trust your own eyes when DHS says otherwise? Minnesota Guard's now on standby like a bouncer ready for Brexit-style immigration drama.
