A man was shot in the leg Wednesday evening during a federal immigration enforcement operation in north Minneapolis, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported, citing multiple sources familiar with the situation.
According to reports from that media outlet, witnesses said that bursts of gunfire were heard after a vehicle chase involving federal agents.
Official information from police or other agencies was not immediately available, but the city of Minneapolis said on social media that it was "aware of reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement in north Minneapolis," Reuters reported.
This report of the shooting came a week after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent killed 37-year-old Renee Goode while she was behind the wheel of a car in an apartment complex during a major operation ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Family and local leaders condemned Goode's death, and protests were held across the country, further fueling tensions in the community.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, did not respond to a request for comment regarding the latest reports of the shooting.
