"She said state authorities made a strong showing that immigration agents' tactics, including shootings and evidence of racial profiling, were having profound and even heartbreaking consequences on the State of Minnesota, the Twin Cities, and Minnesotans."

Two US citizens were killed by federal agents amid ongoing demonstrations and calls for accountability.
