Minneapolis live updates: ICE arrest powers expanded, memo says

Border Patrol Commander at Large Greg Bovino held a brief news conference around 1 p.m. local time and reiterated the details about the shooting DHS had previously provided.

The Border Patrol commander alleged a Border Patrol agent shot the 37-year-old man after he allegedly approached border patrol agents with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun, and "violently resisted" when agents tried to disarm him.

"This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement," Bovino alleged.

When asked by reporters if the man ever brandished a weapon, Bovino responded, "This situation is evolving. The investigation is ongoing. Those facts will come to light."

Minneapolis police have said they believe the man was a licensed gun owner.

When another reporter asked Bovino when the man allegedly pulled out the weapon and other details of the confrontation, Bovino repeated his answer.

Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bob Jacobson told reporters that there were no BCA or public safety agents at the crime scene.

Jacobson said that DHS pulled out of the scene leaving it to local law enforcement.

"We did not have enough resources to be able to hold that ground safely, and we had to leave that scene, because of the number of people available and the safety of those in the public and the safety of our teams " he said.

Jacobson said the BCA is engaged and involved but would not provide more details.

"They killed a man, created chaos …. and then we're left to clean up," Walz later added.

A visibly angry Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz lashed out against President Donald Trump, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other administration officials over the shooting and reiterated his call for federal agents to leave the state.

He lambasted DHS for their statements and comments after the shooting and alleged they are trying to "spin" the narrative before an investigation had been completed.

"Minnesotans are witnessing and we're creating a log of evidence for the future prosecution of ICE agents and officials responsible for this," he said.

Walz said he spoke with the White House chief of staff twice Saturday. He said he asked for the removal of federal agents from the state and said that Minnesota would investigate the incident.

"Do I have any confidence that Donald Trump will do the right thing?" No I have no confidence that Donald Trump will do the right thing," he said.

Mayor Jacob Frey again criticized Trump and his administration over the death of the Minneapolis man.

"I just saw a video of more than six masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents? How many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?" he said during the news conference.

The mayor took a subtle jab at Vice President JD Vance who earlier this week came to the city and alleged that local and state officials were not doing enough to "turn down the temperature."

I'm done being told that our community members are responsible for the vitriol in our streets. I'm done being told that our local elected officials are solely responsible for turning down the temperature," Frey said.

The mayor contrasted the actions of the federal agents with those of his constituents noting that 15,000 people protested in the streets Friday and there were no reports of vandalism or violence.
