Death of Renee Good: further clashes in Minneapolis between protesters and immigration officers

Minneapolis (Minnesota, USA), 13 January (LaPresse/AP) – Days of demonstrations against immigration officers have caused renewed tensions in Minnesota. Yesterday, federal authorities used tear gas to disperse a crowd of activists and state and local leaders who filed a lawsuit to combat the wave of repression that led to the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis. Clashes between federal agents and protesters continued throughout the day yesterday in several cities. Officers fired tear gas in Minneapolis as a crowd gathered around immigration agents who were questioning a man. In the northwest, in St. Cloud, hundreds of people protested outside a series of Somali-owned shops after ICE agents arrived. Later that night, clashes broke out between protesters and officers guarding the federal building used as a base for the crackdown in the Twin Cities.
