Protests have been ongoing in several parts of the city, according to reports, with the main gathering happening near the scene of Wednesday’s fatal shooting at East 34th Street and Portland Avenue.

A makeshift vigil, displaying flowers and candles, is laid near the snow there, as protesters chant slogans and deliver speeches condemning the police shooting.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune newspaper reports that hundreds of people have gathered at the site, including a group of clergy who sang hymns.

Protests and arrests have also taken place elsewhere in the city.

According to Minnesota Public Radio, US Border Patrol officers entered a public school property about three miles from the shooting, where they tackled people, and made arrests using pepper spray.

Photos show agents making arrests in the snow. The incident occurred just as school was letting out for the day.

Earlier in the day, a group of protesters formed a line blocking the entrance to federal courthouse, with ICE officers standing inside, according to the Star-Tribune. The group of around 50 people chanted the name of the woman killed by police, Renee Good, and dispersed around 16:00 after breaking a glass window.

Protests have also been planned in cities outside Minneapolis, with gatherings expected in New Orleans, Miami and New York City.
