ICE Under Fire: Shootings in Minneapolis, Portland Spark Nationwide Protests

• Tensions escalate in the US after fatal shootings involving ICE agents in Minneapolis and Portland.
• ICE, established in 2003 post-9/11, enforces US immigration laws and has expanded significantly under Trump.
• Trump's administration granted ICE "total authorisation" and redefined HSI's mission to prioritize immigration enforcement.
• A Minneapolis shooting involving ICE officer Jonathan Ross and Renee Nichole Good sparked outrage and protests.
• Another shooting in Portland, Oregon, by a Border Patrol agent, further fueled criticism from local officials and civil rights groups.

Why It Matters: ICE's expanded authority and aggressive enforcement under Trump have led to increased tensions and protests.
