1 p.m. - House GOP on Minneapolis shooting

House Speaker Lisa Demuth (R-Cold Spring) and Republican Floor Leader Harry Niska (R-Ramsey) released the following statements today:

"Today we had another tragic loss of life, and I am heartbroken for the loved ones affected," said Speaker Demuth. "As we saw yesterday, thousands of Minnesotans were able to peacefully demonstrate without a single incident. Unfortunately there are still too many political leaders urging direct confrontation including the attempted disruption of law enforcement operations and throwing of dangerous objects. These dangerous tactics put lives of officers and the public at risk. We can have protest. We can have lawful monitoring of ongoing law enforcement operations. But it’s going to take leadership at all levels of government to turn down the temperature. I spoke earlier this week with Vice President Vance, who expressed both publicly and privately a sincere desire to foster better cooperation between the federal government and state and local officials."

Leader Niska added:

"Escalation, violent rhetoric, and demonization has put the lives of Minnesotans and law enforcement alike in danger. It’s time to work together to remove violent criminals from our communities and ensure the safety of all Minnesotans. Knee-jerk reactions demanding confrontation instead of cooperation are putting everyone at risk. Minnesotans know how to exercise their constitutional right to peacefully protest and make their voices heard. It’s time to display real leadership and act in the best interests of all Minnesotans."

12:47 p.m. - House DFL leader on Minneapolis shooting

Rep. Zack Stephenson released the following statement:

"Another Minnesotan is dead at the hands of federal agents. And why? How many people must die before Donald Trump’s drive for ‘retribution’ is satisfied? The people of Minnesota, from five-year-old children to barely clothed elders, have suffered more than enough."

"ICE must leave Minnesota now. Full stop."

"The federal government lacks the credibility to investigate this matter. The BCA must be allowed to investigate, and anyone who broke Minnesota law must be held accountable. No ‘absolute immunity.’ No lies. Justice and peace. Now."

"Yesterday tens of thousands of Minnesotans from all walks of life marched through the streets in subzero temperatures to demand ICE stop terrorizing our communities, and today we wake up to the heartbreaking news that federal officials killed another person. ," said Deepinder Mayell, executive director of ACLU of Minnesota. "This tragedy is further proof that these federal agents are out of control and critically endangering our communities. ICE and CBP must end their operations in our city before anyone else is harmed, and an independent investigation must be conducted."

"After the horrific shooting of Renee Good, the Trump administration recklessly escalated and deployed even more heavily armed agents into Minneapolis, and, today, we are again seeing the devastating and predictable consequences," said Naureen Shah, director of immigration policy and government affairs at ACLU. "Congress must rein ICE in before what happened in Minneapolis happens yet again. Senators must reject a DHS budget that allows these lawless agencies to continue putting our communities in danger."

12:10 p.m. - Rep. Omar's statement on Border Patrol shooting

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) issued the following statement following the reporting that immigration enforcement killed another Minnesota resident:

"This appears to be an execution by immigration enforcement. I am absolutely heartbroken, horrified, and appalled that federal agents murdered another member of our community. It is beyond shameful these federal agents are targeting our residents instead of protecting them. 

"This isn’t isolated or accidental. The Trump administration is trying to beat us into submission rather than protect us. This administration cannot continue violating constitutional rights under the guise of immigration enforcement. ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Their presence is terrorizing our communities, violating rights, and taking lives with zero accountability. Minnesota was once a place of refuge, and Trump has turned it into a war zone where unchecked federal forces murder our neighbors."

Noon - Walz releases another statement

Gov. Tim Walz on social media said, "I told the White House the state must lead the investigation. Let state investigators secure justice. As we process the scene, stay peaceful and give them space.

Frey called on the ICE operation to end. 

"I'm done being told that our community members are responsible for the vitriol in our streets. I'm done being told that our local elected officials are solely responsible for turning down the temperature. Just yesterday, we saw 15,000 people peacefully protesting in the streets, speaking out, standing up for their neighbors. Not a single broken window, not a single injury," Frey said.

11:45 a.m. - Border Patrol union statement

In a statement on social media, Border Patrol Union says: 

"Border Patrol agents are trained extremely well to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and innocent third parties. When a supposed "peaceful" protester brings a weapon (such as a loaded handgun) and brandishes it, there are going to severe consequences and repercussions. We have pleaded with and warned the media and the politicians that their irresponsible, hate-filled and false rhetoric is going to get people unnecessarily hurt, or worse, killed when they portray our agents and officers as the aggressors. They have encouraged these reckless confrontations and attacks on our agents and officers who are performing their lawful duties and enforcing the laws that Congress has put on the books. The fake and dishonest media and the shameless politicians should be held accountable for willfully misleading the public and enticing these protesters and agitators. We have full confidence that when more facts are revealed, our agents and officers will be shown to have utilized justifiable force in eliminating the threat."

And Republicans in congress: Stop your silence and stop being complicit."

"The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming. 

"Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.
