US president issues latest threat to midwestern state, where protests have continued after ICE agent killed woman.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n United States President Donald Trump has said that a \u201cday of reckoning and retribution\u201d is coming to Minnesota, as outrage and protests have continued days after an immigration agent fatally shot a woman in the state\u2019s largest city, Minneapolis.<\/p>\n Trump did not provide further details on the statement, which came at the end of a lengthy screed on the president\u2019s Truth Social account on Tuesday.<\/p>\n list of 3 items<\/span>end of list<\/span><\/section>\n The apparent threat represented the latest pledge to come down hard on the midwestern state in the wake of the killing of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent last week.<\/p>\n The administration on Monday promised to send hundreds more ICE agents to Minneapolis, where federal officer ranks already dwarf local law enforcement, in what city and state leaders have called a dangerous escalation.<\/p>\n \u201cAll the patriots of ICE want to do is remove them from your neighborhood and send them back to the prisons and mental institutions from where they came, most in foreign Countries who illegally entered the USA though Sleepy Joe Biden\u2019s HORRIBLE Open Border\u2019s Policy,\u201d Trump said, referring to his predecessor, US President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n \u201cFEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The phrase was quickly quoted by the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees domestic US immigration enforcement, in a post on X.<\/p>\n Later on Tuesday, a federal judge was set to hear arguments in a lawsuit filed by Minnesota\u2019s Attorney General and the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, alleging that the surge of immigration agents violates residents\u2019 freedom of speech while trampling on the state\u2019s constitutionally protected authorities.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople are being racially profiled, harassed, terrorised, and assaulted,\u201d the state\u2019s attorney general said in a statement upon filing the lawsuit.<\/p>\n \u201cSchools have gone into lockdown. Businesses have been forced to close. Minnesota police are spending countless hours dealing with the chaos ICE is causing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis federal invasion of the\u202fTwin Cities has to stop, so today I am suing DHS to bring it to an end,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n Daily protests have continued across the state since Good\u2019s killing during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n Within moments of the shooting, the Trump administration labelled Good a \u201cdomestic terrorist\u201d, while claiming the officer was acting in self-defence after the 37-year-old \u201cweaponised her vehicle\u201d.<\/p>\n Widely circulated video evidence quickly cast doubt on their claims, with many observers saying recordings appeared to show Good attempting to flee the scene in her Honda Pilot SUV when the agent opened fire. Questions have also been raised over the conduct of the agents involved, including a series of actions that appeared to escalate the situation.<\/p>\n Last week, local officials decried the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s (FBI) unorthodox move to block an independent state investigatory body from taking part in a probe of Good\u2019s killing. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said the move \u2013 coupled with the Trump administration\u2019s comments \u2013 raises questions over the integrity of any conclusions reached.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, the UN Human Rights Council also called for a \u201cprompt, independent and transparent\u201d investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n Prior to Good\u2019s killing, the Trump administration had surged immigration agents to Minnesota as the president increasingly focused on alleged fraud in the large Somali-American community in the state, at times employing racist rhetoric as he sent 2,000 immigration agents to the area.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, the Trump administration announced it was revoking so-called Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalia, a special designation that protects individuals from deportation due to unsafe conditions in their home country.<\/p>\n In a statement on X, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said the move means Somalis who had been on TPS are required to leave the country by March 27.<\/p>\n The Council on the American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) decried the move as \u201cthe latest bigoted attack on the Somali community\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n US president issues latest threat to midwestern state, where protests have continued after ICE agent killed woman.
