Lawmakers in Oregon and Washington are responding after a man was shot and killed by federal officers in Minneapolis on Saturday morning.
Federal officers shot and killed a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, according to a hospital record obtained by the Associated Press.
The shooting comes a day after thousands of demonstrators protesting the crackdown crowded the city’s streets in frigid weather, calling for federal law enforcement to leave.
And it comes less than three weeks after 37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed in Minneapolis by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.
Video that appears to show the fatal shooting on Saturday was posted to social media. U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said the video shows “lawless federal agents again out of control.”
This video shows Donald Trump’s lawless federal agents again out of control. The Senate cannot vote to keep funding this. Every single agent complicit in these horrors should be put on trial at the state level for real accountability.

U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said the video “looks like an execution” and that there must be an investigation.
The Department of Homeland Security on Saturday morning shared an image of a gun the officers recovered at the scene, and said the “armed suspect violently resisted.”
“Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots,“ the DHS post on X reads. ”Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.”
At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.

U.S. Rep. Andrea Salinas, D-Ore., said she was outraged and horrified that another person was killed by federal agents in Minneapolis.
“Trump must withdraw ICE from Minnesota immediately and impose a nationwide stand down,” she said in a post on X. “The Senate must vote to protect our communities and block ICE funding this week. Anything less is a threat to everyone nationwide.”
OPB has reached out to Rep. Cliff Bentz, Oregon’s lone Republican congressperson, for comments.
