Minneapolis ICE shooting updates: Over 3,000 arrested in Minnesota, DHS says
Thousands have been arrested since Operation Metro Surge began in December.
Tensions continued over the weekend in Minneapolis, as protesters clashed in the streets with law enforcement, following the second shooting there in about a week involving a federal officer.
The Department of Homeland Security said that on Wednesday, a federal law enforcement officer shot a person, who they say had fled a traffic stop and then, along with two other people, began attacking the officer.
That incident followed the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, on Jan. 7. DHS officials said Good was allegedly attempting to run over law enforcement officers when an ICE officer fatally shot her -- a claim that local officials have disputed.

Trump ending temporary protection status for Somalia in March: Noem
The Trump administration is ending temporary protection status, known as TPS, for Somalia, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told ABC News Tuesday in a statement.
Somali migrants with TPS will be required to leave the country by March 17, according to USCIS.
"Temporary means temporary," Noem said. "Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law's requirement for Temporary Protected Status. Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests. We are putting Americans first."
Minneapolis is the home to the largest Somali American population in the U.S., according to the U.S. Census.

Illinois also sues Trump administration over immigration enforcement
The state of Illinois and the city of Chicago have also sued the Trump administration, alleging in a lawsuit filed Monday that the Department of Homeland Security has been "causing turmoil and imposing a climate of fear."
The 103-page complaint alleges that Border Patrol agents were told to "push the envelope" on immigration enforcement and "have acted as occupiers rather than officers of the law -- randomly and brutally stopping and questioning residents, separating parents from their children, detaining without warrant or probable cause citizens and non-citizens alike, and using tear gas and other chemical weapons in urban environments against unsuspecting bystanders, injuring dozens including children, the elderly and local police officers."
The state and city allege that the deployment of Border Patrol has led to "catastrophic" results and is a violation of the 10th Amendment. The lawsuit further alleges that the "roving" enforcement policy is a strain on Illinoisans and that biometric screening has been used to target members of the public in violation of the Illinois constitution.
The lawsuit is asking a judge to prohibit Border Patrol from conducting civil immigration enforcement in Illinois and implementing biometric screening and roving enforcement, among other tactics.
