By evening, hundreds attended a vigil, lighting candles and calling for resistance to immigration raids. Some held anti-ICE signs and chanted slogans, while nearby streets were blocked by cars and makeshift barricades.
The area is close to long-established immigrant markets and not far from where George Floyd was killed in 2020.
The 37-year-old motorist was shot in the head in a snowy residential street south of downtown, in front of a family member. Federal officials said the officer acted in self-defence, while the city’s mayor called the shooting reckless and unnecessary.
