The initial subject was hit in the leg,” DHS said, adding that the three people ran “back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside.“Federal immigration officers at the scene of a reported shooting Wednesday in Minneapolis.John Locher | APThe DHS statement said the officer and the initial subject of the stop “are both in the hospital. Both attackers are in custody.”Just before 10 p.m., the city of Minneapolis said “one adult male was shot by federal immigration enforcement agents in the 600 block of 24th Avenue North. He was transferred to a local hospital with apparent non-life-threatening injuries.”Briefing reporters later in the evening Wednesday, Minneapolis police Chief Brian O’Hara said the incident began on Interstate 94 and ended up in front of the house in the Hawthorne neighborhood. He could not confirm the details from the DHS statement that two people had run out of the house and assaulted the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. Those items were at the scene but O’Hara said that “one person may have assaulted federal law enforcement,” adding that he didn’t know if that involved the same person who was shot or someone else.The chief said he asked the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to respond and they came to the scene.Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said there was still a lot they didn’t know about what happened but noted this was the second shooting of someone in the city by an ICE agent in the past week.“This is not sustainable. This is an impossible situation our city is being put in. We are trying to find a way forward to keep people safe, to maintain order,” he said. “We have residents that area asking the very limited number of police officers that we have to fight ICE officers on the street.”A woman confronts a federal immigration officer at the scene of a reported shooting Wednesday in Minneapolis.John Locher | APFrey warns: Don’t take the ‘bait’Videos streamed to social media from the scene in the Hawthorne neighborhood showed a crowd gathering. At least one ambulance was seen leaving the area. Federal agents and local police are at the scene.MPR News spoke with a woman in the neighborhood where the incident occurred, at the corner of Lyndale Avenue North and 24th Avenue North in Minneapolis.The woman, who asked to be anonymous, says when she came home this evening she saw multiple agents with guns, dressed in tactical gear. She says she saw agents blocking off a perimeter around the house of a pregnant woman who was yelling for help.Asked about that, O’Hara said police got one call about a woman having an anxiety attack in the basement of the building but no children were involved.Law enforcement at the scene of a reported shooting Wednesday in Minneapolis.John Locher | APO’Hara warned that the crowd had become dangerous and “unlawful” with some throwing fireworks, ice, rocks and other projectiles at police. Those actions, he added, were “well past the line and people need to leave.”The chief said the Minnesota State Patrol and Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office were called in to help with crowd control.Frey ripped the huge federal presence and said “I’ve seen conduct from ICE that is disgusting and intolerable.” But he echoed O’Hara’s warning against the crowd creating more chaos.“For anyone taking the bait tonight, stop,” Frey said. “That is not helpful. Go home. “7:15 p.m. | Walz calls on Minnesotans to record ICE peacefully, slams ‘campaign of organized brutality’ by fedsGov. Tim Walz Wednesday night called on Minnesotans to peacefully record ICE actions they see in their neighborhoods to “establish a record of exactly what’s happening in our communities” and to “help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans … to bank evidence for future prosecutions.”In a brief address a week after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Macklin Good in south Minneapolis, the governor said President Donald Trump wants chaos in Minnesota but that “accountability is coming” in the courts and at the voting booth. He praised Minnesotans for being “an island of decency in a country being driven towards cruelty” and said eventually “we will bring an end to this moment of chaos, confusion and trauma.”Walz said the federal surge that began last month had stopped being an immigration enforcement operation. “Instead, it’s a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government.”He estimated 2,000 to 3,000 armed federal agents have been deployed to Minnesota and that they’ve been “pulling people over indiscriminately, including U.S. citizens and demanding to see their papers — grabbing Minnesotans and shoving them into unmarked vans, kidnapping people with no warning and no due process.”He called on Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to “end this occupation. You’ve done enough.”He implored people to protest peacefully.“Donald Trump wants chaos,” the governor said. “He wants confusion and yes he wants more violence on our streets. We cannot give him what he wants. We cannot and will not let violence prevail.”Watch: Gov.

She said the details of his current condition were unknown but that he was very injured and was not receiving treatment. Hernandez Serrano recently had surgery on his knee, which was reinjured in the detainment. “He’s not a criminal or a threat to anyone,” Henrique wrote in a text message to MPR News, adding that her brother was getting gas at the Speedway to get to his job. “I’m very scared, worried about him and myself. I’m afraid to go to the gas station and have the same thing happen to me.” A GoFundMe has been started for Hernandez Serrano and his sister says it will be used to find and retain a lawyer.

People are scared, children have anxiety, parents are in hiding, our immigrant community is hurting, and Renee Nicole Good is no longer here to care for her three children,” Brundidge said. “They are without their mother. I am a mother of four children, and so I can’t even imagine not coming home to my children.”Brundidge said the vigil was three hours — one hour for each of Good’s children, and one hour for each bullet that was fired at Good.“She lost her life, and we wanted to honor that,” Brundidge said. “But we also wanted to pray and ask God to bring peace and grace and mercy to our state.”— Estelle Timar-Wilcox, MPR NewsPeople gather at the memorial for Renee Good on Wednesday morning, one week after she was killed by an ICE agent on Portland Avenue in Minneapolis.Ben Hovland | MPR News1:40 p.m. | Macklin Good’s family: ‘She was our protector, our shoulder to cry on’The parents and siblings of Renee Macklin Good on Wednesday released their first public statement since her killing last week by an ICE agent as they asked for privacy:Photo of Renee Macklin Good.Courtesy of Renee Macklin Good’s family We want to thank everyone who has reached out in support of Renee and our family. The kind of unending care we’ve been given during this time is exactly the kind that she gave to everyone. Nae was the beautiful light of our family and brought joy to anyone she met. She was relentlessly hopeful and optimistic which was contagious. We all already miss her more than words could ever express. She was our best friend with a seemingly infinite capacity for love. Nae-Nae gave everything she had to take care of her friends and family, and indeed people she never met. If there was any celebration for any one of us, Nae amplified it. If there was sorrow, she was with you for all of it. Nae found joy in others being comforted and was herself a fountain of comfort.She was our protector, our shoulder to cry on, and our scintillating source of joy. She edited all of our writing, and we feel her absence deeply as we struggle to compose this statement without her gentle guidance. Knowing we can’t match her eloquence, we are remembering Nae in all the little things she’d be doing for us today. She is in the tight hug we offer each other as we lean on the counter. She’s in the goofy cackles we elicit in each other as we recall sweet memories, and she’s in the tears we leave on each others’ shirts. She is in the flow state that comes when your spirit is creating something passionate to share with others. Her voice is the one singing the song stuck in your head. More than anything, she is there when your heart breaks and fills for another person. When we remember Nae, we remember her abundant heart, and we will move forward imitating that unending care.We appreciate our privacy as we continue to mourn at this time.12:15 p.m. | Macklin Good’s family hires law firm that represented George Floyd’s familyRomanucci & Blandin, the law firm that helped George Floyd’s family secure a $27 million civil settlement from the city of Minneapolis after Floyd’s murder by a city police officer, will represent the family of Renee Macklin Good in any litigation tied to her killing by an ICE agent. In a statement, the law firm said it “intends to conduct its civil investigation with an understanding that transparency is essential in this case of national importance. The community is not receiving transparency about this case elsewhere, so our team will provide that to the country.”11:45 a.m. | Judge weighs restraining order against ICE but holds off on rulingA federal judge in Minneapolis did not immediately grant a temporary halt to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation in Minnesota in a status conference Wednesday morning, but will hold a hearing on the issue either late next week or early the following week.Minnesota is seeking a temporary restraining order on the ICE operation, saying the tactics of the surge are causing undue cost and disruption to communities. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on Monday characterized it as a “federal invasion of the Twin Cities.”The state is arguing that ICE is infringing upon Minnesotans’ constitutional rights by detaining people indiscriminately and preventing observers from tracking their activity, in violation of the First and 10th amendments to the Constitution. “The wrongful actions of the defendants is a whole lot of harm to the people of Minnesota, and that harm is also escalating,” Brian Carter with Ellison’s office told Judge Katherine Menendez. “The harm here is ongoing, your honor, and it is intolerable.” The judge said while the matter is important, there is no substantial case law basis to make an immediate decision. “The issues raised by the plaintiffs are enormously important,” she said. “They deal with the very fundamental relationships between the federal government and the states and municipalities.”She added that the case deals with fundamental constitutional questions. Prior ruling on National Guard deployments “are different from what we have here, which is federal government law enforcement power.”Menendez added that the slower schedule on the issue at hand is not an indication of any prejudgement but “simply observing that these are grave and important matters and that they are somewhat frontier issues in Constitutional law.”The federal government’s motion on the temporary restraining order is due Monday, Jan. 19 and the state’s response by Thursday, Jan. 22. “We think there are some serious threshold problems with this lawsuit, as well as merits-based concerns as well,” said Andrew Warden, an attorney with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota.Menendez said she hoped to hold oral arguments on Jan. 23 or Jan. 26.— Peter Cox, MPR NewsHappening Wednesday Gov Tim Walz is expected to speak later today about the ongoing surge of federal agents in the Twin Cities and across the state.A prayer vigil is being held Wednesday morning at the site of Renee Macklin Good’s killing, marking a week since the fatal shooting.Early this afternoon, local and state leaders are holding a conference to discuss ICE activity. A student walkout and protest is also being held at the Capitol. Groups are expected to use a Wednesday night press conference to call for the arrest and charging of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot and killed Macklin Good.On Tuesday, KARE 11 reported that ICE is believed to be considering turning an empty warehouse in Woodbury into an immigrant detention center in order to speed up deportations.
