DHS Secretary Kristi Noem holds press conference on immigration enforcement operations
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is holding a press conference on Thursday on the Trump administration’s latest immigration efforts.
This press conference comes on the heels of the fatal shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer taking part in the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown, with schools canceling classes and activities as a safety precaution and Minnesota’s governor calling for people to remain calm.
As dawn began to break, scores of people bundled up in heavy coats gathered in a parking lot near the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building at Fort Snelling. The building houses several federal agencies, including an immigration court. The crowd was chanting and holding American flags and signs calling on ICE to leave Minnesota.
State and local officials demanded ICE leave after an officer shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good in the head . Noem said agents are not going anywhere.
