Minneapolis live updates: ICE arrest powers expanded, memo says

Commander-at-large Gregory Bovino defended the actions of Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on the ground in Minneapolis , and argued that the tactics they use are "born out of necessity" but they are "legal, ethical and moral."

"Our operations are lawful. They're targeted. They're focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community. They are not random and they are not political," Bovino said at a press conference on Tuesday alongside top ICE official Marcos Charles. "They are about removing criminals who are actively harming Minneapolis neighborhoods."

Bovino said officers in Minneapolis "remain professional, focused, courteous and committed to the mission."

Charles also provided an update on Jonathan Ross, the officer who fatally shot Renee Good, saying he was at home recovering, but did not offer more than that.

Responding to the grand jury subpoenas of Minnesota Democratic officials, Gov. Tim Walz said the state invited President Donald Trump "to see our values in action," calling the investigation "political theater" and a distraction.

"The State of Minnesota will not be drawn into political theater. This Justice Department investigation, sparked by calls for accountability in the face of violence, chaos, and the killing of Renee Good, does not seek justice. It is a partisan distraction," Walz said.

"Minnesotans are more concerned with safety and peace than baseless legal tactics aimed at intimidating public servants standing shoulder to shoulder with their community... Minnesota will not be intimidated into silence and neither will I," Walz wrote.

Separately, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey commented on X, saying, "When the federal gov [sic] weaponizes its power to intimidate local leaders for doing their jobs, every American should be concerned."

He added, "We shouldn’t live in a country where federal law enforcement is used to play politics or crack down on local voices they disagree with. In Minneapolis, we won't be afraid. We know the difference between right and wrong and, as Mayor, I'll continue doing the job I was elected to do: keeping our community safe and standing up for our values."

President Donald Trump called the death of Renee Good a "tragedy" saying it is a "horrible thing," speaking to reporters at a press briefing on Tuesday.

"They're going to make mistakes sometimes. ICE is going to be too rough with somebody or they're dealing with rough people. They're going to make a mistake. Sometimes, it can happen," Trump said Tuesday.

"We feel terribly. I felt horribly when I was told that the young woman who was, had the tragedy ... ICE would say the same thing," he said.

Trump told reporters that Good's father was "tremendous" Trump supporter.

"When I learned her parents, and her father in particular is -- I hope he still is, but, I don't know -- was a tremendous Trump fan. It was awful ... It's so sad. It just happens. It's terrible," Trump said.

Grand jury subpoenas were served Tuesday to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, Ramsey County Attorney John Choi, and Hennepin County attorney Mary Moriarty, according to officials.

The investigation centers around whether they have been obstructing federal law enforcement activities in the state, according to officials.

"It is a subpoena for records and documents, not for me personally," Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement on Tuesday. "Everything about this is highly irregular, especially the fact that this comes shortly after my office sued the Trump Administration to challenge their illegal actions within Minnesota."
