Description

Federal immigration officers walk in the area after a shooting Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026, in Minneapolis.

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.”

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.

CBPD K9 ARCO MAKES FIRST CAPTURE, ROBBERY SUSPECT ARRESTED A Coos Bay man has been arrested following an armed robbery investigation and successful apprehension by K9 Arco. On January 14, 2026, at approximately 11:00 p.m., a man wearing a mask and a red jacket and brandishing what appeared to be a pistol robbed the drive-through at Taco Bell, located at 1015 S. 1st St. in Coos Bay. The suspect approached the drive-through window and confronted an employee. As staff members moved to the back of the store for safety, the suspect stole the cash register and fled the area. Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) officers responded to Taco Bell and began an extensive investigation, which included gathering video surveillance from nearby businesses. Through their investigation, officers identified 29‑year‑old James Love of Coos Bay as the suspect involved in the robbery. On January 19, 2026, at approximately 9:00 a.m., officers located Mr. Love near the 1300 block of Elrod Ave. When officers attempted to contact him, Mr. Love fled on foot. Due to his history and alleged involvement in the armed robbery, Officer R. Scoville deployed K9 Arco, who pursued Love as he ran into a tent. K9 Arco successfully apprehended Love, who then surrendered to officers. Mr. Love was taken into custody and lodged at the Coos County Jail on the below-listed charges related to the robbery and unrelated warrants: • Robbery II • Theft II • Coos County Sheriff’s Office warrant charging Strangulation, Menacing, Assault IV, Recklessly Endangering Another • Washington State warrant (extraditable nationwide) charging Escape Community Custody – Robbery I The CBPD is thankful for the community’s ongoing support, which made the acquisition and deployment of K9 Arco possible. This successful capture highlights the value of the CBPD K9 program and its role in keeping our community safe.
