US EditionMinneapolis police detain at least 30 during latest protests
Protests followed the death of Renee Good by an ICE officer amid the largest federal DHS operation ever, with 29 arrested during unrest in Minneapolis, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Minneapolis police engaged demonstrators after the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, including protests outside the Hilton Canopy Hotel.
- Amid a large federal deployment, the fatal shooting came soon after 2,000 federal officers were dispatched to Minneapolis in the Department of Homeland Security's "largest DHS operation ever".
- Police said more than 200 law enforcement officers responded to the Hilton Canopy Hotel Friday, issuing multiple warnings and declaring unlawful assembly before dispersing about 1,000 demonstrators.
- Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey urged peaceful protests, warning, 'We will not counter Donald Trump's chaos with our own brand of chaos. He wants us to take the bait'; DHS claimed the driver tried to 'weaponise' her vehicle.
- Mobile phone footage filmed by Jonathan Ross showed moments around Good's death, while uncertain video evidence leaves unclear if the car hit the officer; demonstrations spread to Phoenix on Jan. 10.
