Good morning.

Renee Good’s family said yesterday they wanted justice and accountability for her shooting at the hands of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, but urged people stirred to outrage by the shooting of the 37-year-old Minneapolis mother of three to root their conversations in “humanity, empathy, and care for the family most affected”.

What did Minnesota’s attorney general say? “The deployment of thousands of armed DHS (Department of Homeland Security) agents to Minnesota has done our state serious harm. This is in essence a federal invasion of the Twin Cities and Minnesota, and it must stop,” Ellison said.

How has the federal government responded? On Sunday, Kristi Noem, the secretary of homeland security, pledged the agency would send “hundreds more” federal agents to the city.
