"State and local officials demanded ICE leave Minnesota after the unidentified ICE officer shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good in the head Wednesday morning. But Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said agents won't be going anywhere. The Department of Homeland Security has deployed more than 2,000 officers to the area in what it says is its largest immigration enforcement operation ever. Noem said more than 1,500 people have already been arrested."
"Dozens of protesters gathered early Thursday outside of a federal building on the edge of Minneapolis that is serving as a major base for the immigration crackdown. They shouted "No More ICE," "Go Home Nazis," "Quit Your Job," and "Justice Now!" as Border Patrol officers pushed them back from the gate and fired smoke grenades. "We should be horrified," protester Shanta Hejmadi said. "We should be saddened that our government is waging war on our citizens. We should get out and say no."
