Tensions boiled over in the US state of Minnesota Saturday, as the governor hit out at the “sickening” acts of federal officials following the second fatal shooting in the city of Minneapolis this month.

An irate Tim Walz told US President Donald Trump to remove his federal agents including the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from the state as citizens took to the streets to protest the latest deadly shooting, just a few weeks on from the killing of mother-of-three Renee Good by an ICE agent.
