MINNEAPOLIS: Fresh demonstrations were planned across the United States this weekend in the wake of the fatal shooting of a woman by an immigration officer in Minneapolis, as local officials slammed federal agencies for excluding them from the investigation.
Protest organisers said they expected to hold more than a thousand weekend demonstrations following the killing of motorist Renee Good, 37, by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent on Wednesday (Jan 7).
Officials in the midwestern state of Minnesota said their law enforcement agencies have been shut out of the investigation into the shooting.
A local prosecutor said Friday that federal investigators had taken Good's car and shell casings from the scene.
The Trump administration has sought to paint Good as a "domestic terrorist," insisting that the agent who fatally shot her was acting in self-defence.
