A tragic second shooting in Minneapolis early Saturday has reignited demands from Capitol Hill lawmakers urging the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to withdraw its federal agents from Minnesota.
The incident involved a 37-year-old man who was fatally shot by federal agents amid the Trump administration’s intensified immigration enforcement in the region. This follows the recent death of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, who was killed by an ICE officer while in her car.
DHS has maintained that their agents acted in self-defense in both shootings.
Regarding Saturday’s event, Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino revealed that the deceased man was armed with two loaded guns at the time he confronted the federal officers.
“It seems this was an individual intent on causing significant harm and targeting law enforcement,” Bovino stated during a Saturday press briefing.
In the case of the Saturday shooting, Border Patrol Commander at Large Gregory Bovino said the man who was killed had two loaded firearms on him when he encountered the federal agents.
“This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement,” Bovino said at a press conference on Saturday.
Bovino has faced significant opposition for his remarks regarding both the man killed in the Saturday shooting and Good’s death. Democrats and other critics say video evidence suggests the officers’ lives were not threatened by these individuals.
The Border Patrol official will appear on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, where he is expected to discuss agents’ actions during the federal operations in Minnesota.
For many Minnesotans, the Saturday shooting built upon weeks of escalating tensions in the state with federal law enforcement agencies.
“Today, we lost another Minneapolis neighbor after multiple ICE agents pummeled him and shot him to death,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) said in a post on the social platform X on Saturday. “How many more people need to die or get shot before this ends? President Trump, I am calling on you to put the American people and this American city first & get ICE out.”
In a press conference on Saturday afternoon, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) also urged the Trump administration to cease federal operations in the state, saying the agents are “sowing chaos and violence.”
The shooting in Minnesota could prove detrimental for a congressional funding package set to be voted on this week. The Senate must vote to pass the legislation to avert a partial government shutdown by Friday.
Several Democratic lawmakers have said they will not support the package due to the fact that it includes a bill to extend funding for DHS.
“Trump’s endless empowerment of federal immigration agents has resulted in yet another senseless killing,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) wrote on the social platform X. “This brutal crackdown has to end. I cannot and will not vote to fund DHS while this administration continues these violent federal takeovers of our cities.”
After visiting an ICE detention facility in California on Thursday, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) already said he would oppose appropriating more money for DHS.
“ICE has been given, in that reconciliation bill, tens of billions of dollars,” he told local reporters. “They have more money than the militaries of a lot of countries around the world.”
Schiff will appear on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday morning.
Additionally, winter storms are expected to ravage the U.S. from the Rockies to the Atlantic this weekend into Monday afternoon. The Trump administration approved emergency declarations from 10 additional states on Saturday, opening up these states to receiving Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance to deal with the impacts of this severe weather.
Elected officials from several of these states will appear on several Sunday morning broadcast shows. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) will join Fox News’s “The Sunday Briefing,” Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) will appear on CNN’s “State of the Union,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) will be on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) will both join Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”
