MINNEAPOLIS — <\/span>Protests against immigration enforcement are planned for cities and towns across the country on Saturday after one federal officer fatally shot a woman<\/a> in Minneapolis and another shot and wounded two people<\/a> in Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n The demonstrations come as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security pushes forward in the Twin Cities with what it calls its biggest-ever immigration enforcement operation<\/a>. President Donald Trump’s administration has said both shootings were acts of self-defense against drivers who \u201cweaponized\u201d their vehicles to attack officers. <\/p>\n Indivisible, a social movement organization that formed to resist the Trump administration, said hundreds of protests were scheduled in Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Florida and other states. Many were dubbed \u201cICE Out for Good\u201d using the acronym for the agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Indivisible and its local chapters organized protests<\/a> in all 50 states last year.<\/p>\n In Minneapolis, a coalition of migrant rights groups called for a demonstration at Powderhorn Park, a large green space about half a mile from where 37-year-old Renee Good<\/a> was shot in a residential neighborhood on Wednesday. They said the rally and march would celebrate Good\u2019s life<\/a> and call for an \u201cend to deadly terror on our streets.\u201d<\/p>\n Protests held in the neighborhood so far have been peaceful, in contrast to the violence that hit Minneapolis in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd<\/a> in 2020. Near the airport, some confrontations erupted on Thursday and Friday between smaller groups of protesters and agents guarding the federal building used as a base for the Twin Cities crackdown. <\/p>\n The Trump administration has been surging thousands of federal officers to Minnesota under a sweeping new crackdown tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents<\/a>. More than 2,000 officers were taking part. <\/p>\n Some officers moved in after abruptly pulling out of Louisiana,<\/a> where they were part of another operation<\/a> that started last month and was expected to last until February. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
