A person is dead after a shooting in Minneapolis earlier on Saturday involving federal immigration agents from Customs and Border Protection, a U.S. official with knowledge of the incident tells CBS News.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said he has spoken to the White House “after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning.”
“Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now,” Walz said.

“We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area,” a social media statement from the city read.
