A person was shot by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis Saturday morning, officials say.
The shooting occurred on Nicollet Avenue near 26th Street, according to a post on the city’s social media page. No information on the person’s condition was immediately released.
Officials asked members of the public “to remain calm and avoid the immediate area.”

Saturday’s shooting is the third in as many weeks by immigration officers in Minneapolis, beginning with the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Good. The second left one man with a gunshot injury to his leg.
Gov. Tim Walz called Saturday’s shooting “sickening,” and demanded that the Department of Homeland Security remove its officers from Minnesota.
“I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning,” Walz wrote on social media. “Minnesota has had it.”
“The President must end this operation,” he wrote. “Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”
After the shooting, bystanders gathered and screamed profanities at federal officers, calling them “cowards” and telling them to go home. One officer responded mockingly as he walked away, telling them: “Boo hoo.” Agents elsewhere shoved a yelling protester into a car.
The shooting came amid widespread daily protests in the Twin Cities since the Jan. 7 shooting of 37-year-old Good, who was killed when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fired into her vehicle.
It also comes a day after thousands of demonstrators protesting the crackdown on immigrants crowded the city’s streets in frigid weather, calling for federal law enforcement to leave.
