Tensions are flaring in Minneapolis after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a 37-year-old woman on Wednesday.

Mayor, police chief say despite arrests, protests peaceful

Minneapolis officials briefed the press on Friday night's protests against ICE, where a small group of demonstrators caused damage and were arrested.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said 30 people were arrested after a group of protesters broke apart from the main group of over 1,000 demonstrators and allegedly blocked roadways and caused property damage to a hotel.

O'Hara alleged that one of the officers was hit by a piece of ice that was thrown at him, but there were no other officer injuries.

O'Hara and Mayor Jacob Frey stressed that the majority of the protests were peaceful and demonstrators kept things orderly.

"For the vast majority who have ensured we don’t take the bait from the Trump administration, I’m grateful. But if anyone causes property damage or puts others in danger, they will be arrested," the mayor said. "We are standing up to Donald Trump’s chaos not with our own brand of chaos, but with care and unity."

County attorney says ICE officer 'does not have complete immunity here'

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty reiterated during Friday's press briefing that her office, which covers Minneapolis, has the jurisdiction to make any charging decision in Wednesday's deadly ICE shooting.

"I can say that the ICE officer does not have complete immunity here," she said at the end of the briefing when asked about the immunity of ICE agents.

The comment comes a day after Vice President JD Vance claimed the ICE officer involved in the shooting is "protected by absolute immunity."

"The unprecedented thing is the idea that a local official can actually prosecute a federal official with absolute immunity. I've never seen anything like that," he said during a White House briefing on Thursday.
