An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer has shot a man in the leg in the US city of Minneapolis, where tensions have been running high since an ICE agent shot dead a woman last week. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that federal officers were conducting a 'targeted traffic stop' when the Venezuelan national was shot after resisting arrest and assaulting an officer who was attacked with a shovel. This incident sparked fresh clashes between protesters and law enforcement, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey labeling the situation as 'unsustainable'. Tensions over immigration enforcement have surged since the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent on January 7, which initiated protests that spread across several US cities. City officials are urging the public to remain calm while demanding the immediate withdrawal of ICE from the area. The man shot is reported to have sustained non-life threatening injuries and a DHS statement indicated that the officer felt his life was threatened during the altercation. Minneapolis city officials continue to express their discontent with ICE operations in the area as investigations proceed.
