MINNEAPOLIS — Federal and local leaders traded blame late Wednesday as protesters clashed with authorities in Minneapolis after officials said a federal immigration enforcement officer shot a man in the leg following a struggle outside a residence.

“The situation we are seeing in our city is not sustainable,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) said on X. “We cannot respond to Donald Trump’s chaos with our own chaos.”

At an earlier news conference, the mayor described an “impossible situation” in which Minneapolis’s 600 police officers are at times finding themselves at odds with some of the approximately 3,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who have been deployed to the city.

“We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another,” Frey added. He said that he hoped to force ICE out of the state through a lawsuit he and other Minnesota officials filed Monday.
