Deadly shooting sparks more protests in Minneapolis amid immigration crackdown | ABC NEWS

Описание: More protests have erupted in Minneapolis after federal agents shot a man dead on the city’s streets within weeks of another deadly shooting amid a mass immigration crackdown.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is calling for the Trump administration to call off the immigration enforcement operation and withdraw agents from the city, while Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara is urging protesters to disperse to allow for an investigation into the shooting.
The deceased man has been identified as 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a US citizen with a gun licence and no criminal record.
Customs and Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino claims the man was brandishing his gun and was putting the lives of federal agents at risk.
An emotional Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has condemned the act and described the video as ‘sickening’.
US President Donald Trump has hit back and questioned local law enforcement’s measures to protect federal officers.
