Protests take place across US after fatal shooting of woman by ICE officer<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

Hello and welcome to the US politics<\/a> live blog. My name is Tom Ambrose and I will be bringing you the latest news lines over the next few hours.<\/p>\n

We start with news that protests have been taking place across the US following the fatal shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer<\/strong> taking part in the Trump administration\u2019s latest immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n

The shooting marked a dramatic escalation of the latest in a series of immigration enforcement operations in major cities under the Trump administration. Wednesday\u2019s is at least the fifth death linked to the crackdowns, AP reported.<\/p>\n

The Twin Cities have been on edge since the Department of Homeland Security announced the operation\u2019s launch on Tuesday, at least partly tied to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents.<\/p>\n

A crowd of protesters gathered at the scene after the shooting to vent their anger at local and federal officers. In a scene that hearkened back to crackdowns in Los Angeles and Chicago, people chanted \u201cICE out of Minnesota\u201d and blew whistles that have become ubiquitous during the operations.<\/p>\n

Governor Tim Walz said he was prepared to deploy the National Guard if necessary and expressed outrage over the shooting but called on people to keep protests peaceful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want a show,\u201d Walz said. \u201cWe can\u2019t give it to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were calls on social media to prosecute the officer who shot Macklin Good. Commissioner Bob Jacobson of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety said state authorities would investigate the shooting with federal authorities.<\/p>\n
