Protesters against immigration enforcement have taken to the streets in cities and towns across the US after one federal officer fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis and another shot and wounded two people in Portland, Oregon.

The demonstrations come as the US Department of Homeland Security pushes forward in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul with what it calls its biggest-ever immigration enforcement operation.
