A quick note: it is bitterly cold in Minneapolis today. 

Everyone's breath is visible in the live feed, and a quick scan of The Weather Network shows that it's –23 C, but feels more like –31 C, in the city right now.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has now confirmed the man who was shot in Minneapolis this morning died at the scene. 

In a post on X, DHS said law enforcement officers were targeting "an illegal alien wanted for assault" when "an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun."

The post said an agent fired in self-defence after "an armed struggle." It was not clear if the man who was shot was the same man agents had targeted.

Officers have now shot projectiles several times. 

Right now, the video of the scene is somewhat obscured by all of the smoke after officers crossed the yellow tape between them and protesters. You could see them moving in on the protests, shooting non-lethal weapons.

One man can be heard saying, "Do you want to kill me?" 

"I've done nothing," the same man yelled. "I've done nothing wrong."

In the feed, the man, who is pinned down by officers, continues to yell, "Do you want to kill me? They will kill me."

A woman is also seen on her knees, crying, and saying ICE is arresting her husband.

While they're characterized as "non-lethal," it doesn't mean these projectiles don't hurt. 

It's difficult to determine exactly which projectiles ICE is currently using, but common ones include: flash-bang grenades meant to disorient, or pepper balls filled with pepper spray. Rubber bullets have been used in the U.S., too, and they can hurt a lot — especially when fired at high velocity.

"We are the FBI and we're here to investigate the scene," a female officer's voice says through a microphone. The voice asks protesters to make room for the investigation. 

"We want to do this as safely as possible," she said repeatedly. 

The crowd quickly erupted into louder — and seemingly angrier — chants.

"Go look after your own community," one woman is heard yelling. "This is our community."

"No one is illegal," another protester yelled, in reference to ongoing ICE crackdowns in immigration.

The live video feed is showing an escalating situation on the ground. Officers have taunted protesters, while protesters continue to confront the officers verbally. 

"Go home, go home, go home," one woman screamed repeatedly.

Another man was seemingly apprehended, with multiple officers flanking him as they walked down the road. Journalists and multiple bystanders appear to be filming the unfolding scene.

A live video feed of the scene in the aftermath of the shooting looks tense. Several officers dressed in tactical gear stand in a crowd, with protesters screaming things like, "ICE out." Protesters also swore at ICE officers and threw up their middle fingers.

Loud bangs were audible as officers repeatedly fired projectiles at the crowd. The video feed reveals lingering smoke — a lot of it — at the scene.

The Associated Press

A 51-year-old man shot Saturday by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis has died, a hospital record obtained by The Associated Press shows.

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar posted about the shooting, saying on social media Saturday that she was working to get more information. 

“To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW,” Klobuchar wrote.

According to reporting by The Associated Press, bystanders at the scene started screaming at federal officers, calling them "cowards." In response, an unnamed officer allegedly walked away from the crowd, mockingly yelling, "boo hoo," the AP reported.

The news comes amid daily protests in the Twin Cities area following the shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer, and a day after thousands in Minneapolis gathered outside in frigid winter temperatures to protest ICE's ongoing anti-immigration cracking.

Minneapolis officials ⁠said in a social media post they were looking ​into reports that a man ​had been shot in ‍south Minneapolis, in the area of 26th Street W. And Nicollet Avenue — less than two kilometres from the area where Renee Nicole Good was shot, as the crow flies.

"We ask the public to remain ‍calm and ⁠avoid the immediate area," a post by the City of Minneapolis said.
