Tensions between Minnesota and federal officials deepened yesterday over a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent’s fatal shooting of a 37-year-old mother of three in Minneapolis, an incident that drew condemnation from local officials and sparked widespread protests in the state and beyond.

State and federal officials have offered different accounts of the shooting, in which an unidentified ICE agent shot US citizen Renee Nicole Good in a residential neighbourhood.
