MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Minneapolis was on edge Thursday following the fatal shooting of a woman<\/a> by a federal officer taking part in the Trump administration\u2019s latest immigration crackdown, with protesters venting their outrage<\/a>, the governor demanding that the state take part in the investigation and schools canceling classes as a precaution.<\/p>\n

State and local officials demanded that the immigration agents leave Minnesota after the unidentified Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot 37-year-old mother of three Renee Good<\/a> in the head on Wednesday. But Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said agents won\u2019t be going anywhere<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security has deployed more than 2,000 officers to the area in what it says is its largest immigration enforcement operation ever. Noem said more than 1,500 people have already been arrested.<\/p>\n

Dozens of protesters gathered Thursday outside of a federal building on the edge of Minneapolis that is serving as a major base for the immigration crackdown. They shouted \u201cNo More ICE,\u201d \u201cGo Home Nazis,\u201d \u201cQuit Your Job,\u201d and \u201cJustice Now!\u201d as Border Patrol officers pushed them back from the gate, doused them with pepper spray and fired tear gas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should be horrified,\u201d protester Shanta Hejmadi said. \u201cWe should be saddened that our government is waging war on our citizens. We should get out and say no. What else can we do?\u201d<\/p>\n

Gregory Bovino<\/a>, a senior U.S. Customs and Border Patrol official who has been the face of the crackdowns in other cities, walked along the long line of officers, looking at the crowd as protesters yelled at him, including a man who shouted, \u201cBorder Patrol should be along the border!\u201d Many activists tried to converse with the officers and persuade them that the job they were doing was wrong.<\/p>\n

The anti-immigration enforcement protests weren\u2019t confined to Minneapolis, as demonstrations also took place or were expected to Thursday in New York City, Seattle, Detroit, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Antonio, New Orleans and Chicago. Protests were also scheduled for later this week in Arizona, North Carolina, and New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

Bystanders captured video of Good\u2019s killing<\/a> in a residential neighborhood south of downtown, and hundreds of people turned up for a Wednesday night vigil to mourn her.<\/p>\n

The videos of the shooting show an officer approaching an SUV stopped across the middle of the road, demanding the driver open the door and grabbing the handle. The Honda Pilot begins to pull forward, and a different ICE officer standing in front of it pulls his weapon and immediately fires at least two shots at close range<\/a>, jumping back as the vehicle moves toward him.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t clear from the videos if the vehicle makes contact with the officer, and there is no indication of whether the woman had interactions with ICE agents earlier. After the shooting the SUV speeds into two cars parked on a curb before crashing to a stop.<\/p>\n

In another recording made afterward, a woman who identifies Macklin Good<\/a> as her spouse is seen crying near the vehicle. The woman, who is not identified, says the couple recently arrived in Minnesota and that they had a child.<\/p>\n

State shut out of the investigation<\/p>\n

Noem called the incident an \u201cact of domestic terrorism\u201d against ICE officers, saying the driver \u201cattempted to run them over and rammed them with her vehicle. An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot, to protect himself and the people around him.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump made similar accusations on social media and defended ICE\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

Noem alleged that the woman was part of a \u201cmob of agitators\u201d and said the officer followed his training. She said the FBI would investigate.<\/p>\n

But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called Noem\u2019s version of events \u201cgarbage.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThey are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense,\u201d Frey said. \u201cHaving seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bullshit.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also criticized the federal deployment and said agents should leave.<\/p>\n

Minnesota authorities had expected to work with the FBI on the shooting investigation. But the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said Thursday that the U.S. attorney\u2019s office changed course Wednesday and barred it from taking part.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout complete access to the evidence, witnesses and information collected, we cannot meet the investigative standards that Minnesota law and the public demands. As a result, the BCA has reluctantly withdrawn from the investigation,\u201d Superintendent Drew Evans said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday demanded that the state be allowed to take part, as it would be the only way the public could be confident in its findings, noting it would be \u201cvery, very difficult for Minnesotans\u201d to accept that an investigation that excludes the state could be fair.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgment from the president to the vice president to Kristi Noem, have stood and told you things that are verifiably false, verifiably inaccurate,\u201d Walz said.<\/p>\n

Asked about whether the state would be included, Noem said Minnesota authorities \u201cdon\u2019t have any jurisdiction in this investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shooting marked a dramatic escalation of the latest in a series of immigration enforcement operations<\/a> in major cities under the Trump administration. Wednesday\u2019s is at least the fifth death<\/a> linked to the crackdowns.<\/p>\n

The Twin Cities have been on edge since DHS announced the operation\u2019s launch Tuesday, at least partly tied to allegations of fraud<\/a> involving Somali residents. <\/p>\n

In a scene that hearkened back to crackdowns in Los Angeles<\/a> and Chicago<\/a>, people chanted \u201cICE out of Minnesota\u201d and blew whistles that have become ubiquitous during the operations.<\/p>\n

Walz said Wednesday that he was prepared to deploy the National Guard if necessary. He expressed outrage over the shooting but called on people to keep protests peaceful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want a show,\u201d Walz said of the Trump administration. \u201cWe can\u2019t give it to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
