Washington, 25 January 2026 (dpa/MIA) - Following the fatal shootings during a federal agents' operation in Minneapolis, President Donald Trump has attacked the mayor and the governor of the state of Minnesota.

"The Mayor and the Governor are inciting Insurrection, with their pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric!" Trump wrote on his platform Truth Social.

Trump also wrote regarding the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE): "LET OUR ICE PATRIOTS DO THEIR JOB!"

The governor of the US state of Minnesota in which Minneapolis is located, Tim Walz, urged Trump in a press conference to withdraw Minnesota's forces. "Remove this force from Minnesota, they are sowing chaos and violence."

On X, Walz had written earlier: "Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now."

"Minnesota has had it. This is sickening," Walz posted.

The mayor of the city, Jacob Frey - like Walz, also a Democrat - posted on X: "How many more people need to die or get shot before this ends? President Trump, I am calling on you to put the American people and this American city first & get ICE out."

If the mission's goal is to ensure peace and security, then it is achieving exactly the opposite, Frey said.

On Saturday, a man died after being shot by federal agents, according to official reports. Many details of the incident remain unclear.

The US Department of Homeland Security stated that the agents were on a mission targeting a foreigner who was allegedly staying illegally in the US when they were approached by a person with a handgun.

According to local police, the deceased is likely a US citizen who lived in the city.

Already at the beginning of January, a woman was killed in her car in the same city during an operation by ICE agents.
