"As soon as Donald Trump made his comeback to the White House early last year, he rushed to step up his crackdown on those who enter the United States illegally. His administration soon started mass arrests and mass deportations. That has led to mass protests against Trump's immigration policies. Protesters are particularly venting their anger against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, accusing them of using excessive force."
"There has been a second fatal shooting in the US state of Minnesota this month. And the state of Minnesota has become the epicentre of the anger against the crackdown in recent weeks. There have been at least three shootings there involving immigration agents just this month alone two of them fatal. So, does this violent crackdown serve any real purpose?"
Donald Trump’s return to the White House early last year triggered an intensified crackdown on people entering the United States illegally, including rapid increases in arrests and deportations. Those enforcement measures produced widespread protests against immigration policy and explicit anger aimed at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Protesters accused ICE of using excessive force during operations. Minnesota emerged as a focal point of the backlash, with at least three shootings involving immigration agents this month, two of them fatal. The concentration of violent incidents in Minnesota has intensified public scrutiny and prompted debate about the purpose, proportionality, and consequences of the intensified crackdown.
