MINNEAPOLIS — Protesters shouted during a tense standoff with masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers as anger from Minneapolis residents simmers following the fatal shooting of a woman on Wednesday.

Gregory Bovino, a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection official who is the face of the immigration crackdown, walked among the officers as protesters yelled for ICE to leave.
More than 2,000 officers are deployed to the area and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says they will be staying despite pleas from state and local officials that they leave the state, which shares a long border with Manitoba and Ontario.
Jeff Howison, holding a sign that says “ICE Out!”, says he was outraged and called the shooting unnecessary.
Nearby, Robin Beckman says it’s completely unnecessary to have ICE agents patrolling Minneapolis’ streets.
