OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 01/24/2026, a 37-year-old man was shot and killed by federal immigration agents during a daytime enforcement operation in the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis. Bystander video shows multiple agents surrounding and physically restraining the man on a public sidewalk, forcing him to the ground moments before gunfire erupted at close range. He was pronounced dead. Federal authorities allege the operation was immigration-related and asserted the man was armed. Minneapolis police were not involved in the operation and responded only after the shooting. The killing prompted immediate protests, street closures, and sharp condemnation from local and state officials, including Minnesota’s governor and Minneapolis city leaders, who questioned the necessity and conduct of federal immigration enforcement actions in residential neighborhoods.
