The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it is deploying hundreds of additional federal officers to Minnesota following large-scale protests over the fatal shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the move during an interview aired Sunday, stating the officers are intended to enhance the safety of ICE and Border Patrol personnel already operating in the state.
According to DHS, approximately 2,000 federal officers have already been sent to the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, marking what the department described as its largest deployment to date. The decision comes amid heightened tensions after the Wednesday shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good, which triggered widespread demonstrations across the United States.
Over the weekend, more than 1,000 rallies were held nationwide to protest the federal government’s deportation policies and the fatal ICE shooting. Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched through Minneapolis on Saturday, making it the largest protest reported. Additional demonstrations were seen in major cities including Chicago, Pittsburgh, and New York City. In Manhattan, thousands marched peacefully and briefly blocked traffic near Trump Tower while chanting anti-Trump slogans, according to reports.
Minnesota officials have publicly questioned the justification for the shooting, citing bystander video that they say shows Good’s vehicle turning away from the ICE agent when shots were fired. State authorities announced they are opening a separate criminal investigation into the incident, following claims that the FBI has declined to cooperate with state investigators.
Federal officials, however, have defended the ICE agent’s actions. Secretary Noem and other DHS leaders argue the agent acted in self-defense, claiming Good drove toward the officer after being ordered to exit her vehicle. Noem also stated that additional video footage shows Good protesting ICE operations earlier that same day, though she did not confirm whether the footage would be released publicly.
White House Border Security Czar Tom Homan urged patience as investigations continue, stating he believes the officer perceived an immediate threat. The incident remains under investigation as public scrutiny and national protests continue.
