#TimWalz has twice mentioned the #protests that followed the #murder of #GeorgeFloyd by a #Minneapolis #police officer in 2020, & lessons learned from that experience. The governor was criticized by some for not mobilizing the #NationalGuard more quickly at the time.

Bob Jacobson, the commissioner of the #Minnesota Dept of #PublicSafety, said a #state law enforcement agency was working with the #FBI to investigate the #shooting.

#Minnesota Gov #TimWalz directly addressed #Trump & #KristiNoem, #DHS secy, saying in a news conference: “You’ve done enough.” He said the #state does not need “any further help from the #federal government.”

Walz said the #shooting was “totally predictable” & “totally avoidable.” He said federal ofcls were NOT coordinating with local law enforcement.

Governor #TimWalz said he had activated the state’s Emergency Operations Center & issued a “warning order” to prepare the #Minnesota #NationalGuard. “We have soldiers in training & prepared to be deployed if necessary,” he said. [Hell yeah. This is 100% what every governor must do. I wrote to Pritzker about it, but 🤷🏼‍♀️]

Breaking News! Federal Agent Shoots Woman Amid #Minneapolis Crackdown
The person was killed, federal authorities said. Gov. Tim Walz asked for calm as protesters gathered.

"A federal immigration officer shot and killed a person in Minneapolis on Wednesday during an enforcement operation, the Department of Homeland Security said.

"The shooting came as the Trump administration intensified a promised crackdown on illegal immigration in Minnesota.

"The office of Senator Tina Smith, Democrat of Minnesota, described the person who was shot as the wife of a prominent #activist, and Representative Ilhan Omar, a Democrat whose congressional district includes the shooting scene, described the person as a ' #LegalObserver.'

"Several of the state’s top Democrats called on federal immigration agents to leave the city, accusing them of sowing chaos. Federal officials have defended the crackdown in Minneapolis as a necessary response to illegal immigration and widespread fraud in state social service systems.

"Gov. #TimWalz of #Minnesota said in a statement that he had been informed of the shooting involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which took place in a residential neighborhood in South Minneapolis. He asked people to remain calm.

"Homeland Security officials said the shooting happened as agents were conducting “targeted operations” and were confronted by protesters.

"Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for #DHS, said in a statement that a woman had 'weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them.' [BULLSHIT!!!]

"The federal government’s description of the encounter could not immediately be verified independently."
