A 51-year-old man dies after being shot by federal agents in Minneapolis, sparking violent protests and deepening fear within immigrant communities amid an intensifying crackdown.

A volatile standoff has erupted in South Minneapolis after a 51-year-old man was shot and killed by federal immigration agents, marking the third such violent confrontation in the city in just two weeks.
The shooting, which occurred near the popular Glam Doll Donuts, has ignited a powder keg of public anger. As news of the man's death spread, hundreds of protesters flooded the streets, chanting "ICE go home" and clashing with officers in riot gear. The incident is the latest flashpoint in a sweeping federal crackdown that has left the city's immigrant communities—including the substantial Somali diaspora—living in fear.
Witnesses described a chaotic scene where federal agents, reportedly part of a Department of Homeland Security task force, opened fire on the man, who officials claim was armed with a handgun and two magazines. However, the aggressive nature of the operation has drawn sharp rebuke.
"They are hunting people like animals in our streets," shouted one protester, as tear gas canisters hissed nearby. "This isn't law enforcement; it's an occupation."
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara has urged calm, but the atmosphere remains toxic. With barricades burning and flash-bang grenades echoing through the neighborhoods, the trust between federal authorities and the community has been shattered.
For the thousands of Kenyans and Somalis calling Minnesota home, the message is chilling: the streets are no longer safe, and the line between policing and warfare has blurred dangerously.
