Minneapolis officials confirmed reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement officers in the city on Saturday morning. The incident comes less than three weeks after Renee Good, an American citizen, was shot and killed by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis on January 5, 2026.
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the latest shooting occurred during a traffic stop in the Whittier neighborhood. The Star Tribune reported that no one was killed in the incident, but the identity and condition of those involved have not been released.
The shooting of Renee Good sparked protests and outrage across the country, with some calling for accountability and transparency from federal law enforcement agencies. The incident also raised questions about the use of force by federal agents and the role they play in local communities.
In a statement, Minneapolis police said they were working with federal authorities to gather information about the latest shooting. "We are aware of reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement officers in the area of 34th Street and Chicago Avenue," the statement read. "We are in contact with our federal partners and will provide updates as more information becomes available."
The shooting comes as tensions remain high in Minneapolis following the death of Renee Good. The Minneapolis City Council has called for a federal investigation into the shooting and has urged federal authorities to release more information about the incident and the officers involved.
The shooting also comes as federal law enforcement agencies face increasing scrutiny over their use of force and their role in local communities. In recent years, there have been numerous incidents involving federal officers using force against civilians, including the use of tear gas and rubber bullets against peaceful protesters in Portland, Oregon, and Washington, D.C.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has called for greater transparency and accountability from federal law enforcement agencies, arguing that they should be subject to the same standards as local police departments. "Federal law enforcement agencies should be transparent about their actions and held accountable when they violate people's rights," the ACLU said in a statement.
The latest shooting in Minneapolis is sure to add to the debate over the role of federal law enforcement agencies in local communities and the use of force by federal officers. As more information becomes available, it is likely that there will be renewed calls for reform and accountability.
