Minneapolis protests escalate after ICE officer shoots immigrant, Trump threatens troops

Tensions in Minneapolis have escalated following a recent ICE-related shooting, leading President Donald Trump to consider deploying federal troops under the Insurrection Act. The unrest began after a federal immigration officer shot a man in the leg during an altercation while pursuing an immigrant from Venezuela. The officer claimed self-defense. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has criticized the federal response, describing the situation as an invasion, and more protests and arrests are expected as tensions continue to rise.
