US deputy attorney general blames 'insurrection' on Minnesota officials

The US deputy attorney general has blamed the latest incident in Minneapolis on the city mayor and state governor.

Posting on social media, Todd Blanche said the "insurrection" was a "direct result" of the failures of Tim Walz and Jacob Frey, as ICE operates in "thousands of counties" without incident.

"I'm focused on stopping YOU from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. This is not a threat. It's a promise," Blanche added.

It comes after Walz said in his own post that Donald Trump wanted "violence in the streets" of the city (see 5.15am post).

Mapped: How close were the two ICE shootings?

The shooting of a Venezuelan man by an ICE agent is the second involving the agency in Minneapolis in a matter of days.

Renee Nicole Good was shot dead in her car by an ICE officer at 34th Street and Portland, in the city's southern area, on 7 January.

Yesterday's shooting occurred in the 600 block of 24th Avenue North, the city of Minneapolis said.

City of Minneapolis calls for calm after another night of unrest

The city of Minneapolis administration has called for calm after fresh protests and clashes with law enforcement overnight.

In a series of posts on social media, the city repeats its demand that ICE leave and adds:

"We understand there is anger. We ask the public to remain calm."

Eyewitness: A city on edge sees fury and protests once more

By Martha Kelner, US correspondent in Minneapolis

As part of Donald Trump's nationwide migrant crackdown, 2,000 ICE officers were sent to Minneapolis two weeks ago. 

During the course of that fortnight deployment, one woman has been shot dead, another man has been shot in the leg and a car full of children has been tear-gassed. 

In response to the chaos and bloodshed, the Department of Homeland Security has moved another 1,000 officers here, against the wishes of the vast majority of local people.

The Minneapolis police chief says this is a city at breaking point, and it was nudged a little closer tonight. 

Within half an hour of a man being shot during an arrest attempt, hundreds of local people and activists were swarming the police cordons. 

As one vehicle full of ICE agents left the scene, some people kicked the doors and punched the windows in fury. 

"Murderers", someone in the crowd shouted. "Cowards," said another.  

The officers remaining tried to disperse the crowd by forming lines and deploying tear gas and flash bang devices. 

I saw several people calling for medical attention and others washing the gas residue from their eyes with bottled water. 

One man told me he had been shot with pepper bullets repeatedly despite holding his hands up in surrender. 

"They looked straight at me and shot me with whatever it was," he said. 

A tear gas canister was thrown directly towards a car where a man was driving with his six children, ranging in age from six months to 11 years. 

"The car filled up like it was on fire," the man said. "My children couldn't breathe, my six-month-old couldn't breathe, they've been rushed to hospital. I'm mad as hell."

Watch his account from Minneapolis...

Critics say the ICE agents are inadequately trained and are being pressured with arrest quotas to meet. 

It's a combustible combination and it's being met with increasing resistance.

The account of the second shooting, according to Homeland Security

We're reporting on a second shooting in Minneapolis by ICE agents in a week.

With local officials speaking out, here's what Donald Trump's administration is saying.

'Fearing for his life'

In a statement shared on social media, the Department of Homeland Security describes the Venezuelan man who was shot as an "illegal alien" and claims he tried to dodge being arrested and fled from the authorities in a car before crashing.

Then, it says, he fled on foot before ending up "in a struggle on the ground" with the ICE agent chasing him.

Homeland Security claims "two individuals" came from a nearby apartment and "attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle".

Then, "fearing for his life", the ICE agent fired and hit the Venezuelan man in the leg, according to Homeland Security.

It adds the Venezuelan man and the "two individuals" have been arrested.

Trump: Renee Good shooting 'sad to see on both sides'

US President Donald Trump and his administration took a combative line after Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this month.

Shortly after she was killed, Trump called Good a "professional agitator" who "violently, wilfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer".

However, in a new interview with Reuters news agency, the president struck a slightly more moderate tone.

When asked if the ICE officer did the right thing, Trump said:

"I don't get into right or wrong. I know that it was a tough situation to be in. There was very little respect shown to the police, in this case, the ICE officers. It's so sad to see on both sides."

When asked if he would pardon Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent, if he was charged and convicted in the shooting, Trump said he would wait to see how the process played out.

"I think that we're going have to see what happens. That was a very unfortunate incident. We're just going to see what happens," Trump said.
