Demonstrations erupt across the US in response to deadly ICE shooting in Minneapolis, sparking widespread outrage and calls for change. The incident occurred on Tuesday when a woman was shot by ICE agents at an apartment complex in Minneapolis. The victim is reported to be in critical condition.
The shooting has sparked massive protests nationwide, with demonstrators calling for an end to immigration enforcement actions and the resignation of the head of ICE. In New York City, hundreds of people gathered outside the office of Representative Tom Suozzi, who represents the area where the shooting occurred.
Protesters also took to the streets in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dallas, among other cities, with some groups blocking highways and intersections to draw attention to their cause. The demonstrations were largely peaceful, but there were reports of clashes between protesters and law enforcement in some areas.
The incident has drawn widespread criticism from politicians and advocacy groups, who have called for a thorough investigation into the shooting and greater accountability within ICE. Some lawmakers have also called for legislation aimed at reforming the agency's enforcement practices.
In response to the protests, President Biden spoke out on social media, saying that he is "deeply disturbed" by the shooting and condemning it as a "senseless act of violence." He also urged calm and called for an investigation into the incident.

The police need to figure out what happened in Minneapolis and make sure they get it right next time... 
ICE should be held accountable, but we shouldn't just throw the baby out with the bathwater either... 
They're already doing enough harm, right? 
If people are marching and protesting peacefully, that's awesome, but at the same time, I don't want to see anyone getting hurt on both sides... 
What can be done to make sure this doesn't happen again? 
.
I'm so fed up with these ICE agents! They're always causing trouble and now they've gone and shot some poor woman in Minneapolis 
. And what about those lawmakers who are calling for reform? They should've been doing this years ago 
It's just so senseless. And now we're seeing these massive protests across the country. I get why people are upset, but at the same time, I feel for the law enforcement guys who have to deal with all this. Can't they just have a peaceful conversation about immigration reform without it escalating into this? 
just heard about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis and I'm totally shook 
immigration policies can be super complex but that doesn't mean we gotta be cruel 
everyone deserves respect and dignity 
especially when it comes to our human rights 
but at the same time, we need to hold people in power accountable 
if they're not doing their job right, someone should speak up 
and demand change 
my heart goes out to the victim and their family 
we gotta keep pushing for a more just system 
... it's so beautiful to see people standing up for justice and equality 
. and i think that's what this protest is all about - making sure that everyone feels safe and valued 
. that's what we need more of in this country - more love, more compassion, and more unity 
Chicago 
NYC 
️ they're all holding signs that say "stop ICE" 
. I don't think the gov't is doing enough 
just seems so messed up 
. Like, I get it, we should be mad about that, but can we also not forget that these people are doing their jobs? They're like the bouncers of the world, but with more guns 
. The protesters are right to demand change, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater, you know? We don't want to create a situation where no one shows up to work because they're too busy protesting 
.
it's like they think they're above the law or something... I mean, I get that immigration laws need to be enforced but not at the expense of human life! 
and now people are out protesting peacefully demanding change and accountability. I'm all for it tbh, we need to hold those in power accountable for their actions
