Minneapolis Public Schools has canceled classes and activities following the fatal shooting of a woman by an immigration officer and ensuing protests.

The school district, which has an enrolment of about 29,000 students, said in a statement on Wednesday that there will be no school, sports and activities on Thursday and Friday “due to safety concerns related to today’s incidents around the city.”

The 37-year-old woman, identified as Renee Nicole Good, was fatally shot in a residential neighbourhood south of downtown Minneapolis during the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown in a major city.

Her killing after 9:30 a.m. was recorded on video by witnesses.

    Ehh, I wouldn’t be so sure. I’m pretty sure ICE has a decent bit more training than your average municipal cop. A lot of them are ex military as well, such as Jonathon Ross, hence his itchy trigger finger.

      They’re literally recruited from white supremacist groups and handed a gun that they may or may not know how to use already

        I, unfortunately, have had the pleasure of knowing a couple of ICE agents before all of this and can tell you that their training, at least historically, was more involved than that of your typical police force. They have dedicated training facilities that all members are sent to for several months.

        To be fair though, yeah, I’m sure that’s all gone out the window in their current phase rapid hiring any piece of shit that wants to shoot brown people, so the point is moot anyway… nevermind.
