ICE attempted to block local police officers from the scene of another Minneapolis shooting Saturday but the city's police chief defied their orders.
The federal agents attempted to demand the city's police officers stay away after gunshots rang out Saturday morning, but Chief Brian O'Hara refused, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
A video, apparently shot by a witness, shows Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents wrestling a man to the ground. One officer appears to strike the person with what looks like a firearm before several shots are heard.
O'Hara confirmed a man had died, as crowds of furious onlookers gathered.
Sources told the Tribune O'Hara refused ICE's demands and instructed his officers to preserve the scene. All available local police officers have been called into work.
Minnesota officials have complained that they were frozen out of the investigation of the deadly shooting of Renee Good by ICE earlier this month.

I like (I mean I hate) how Golden portrays himself as such a brave politician

They are not trained in any way. When one of their own had a seizure, a protester saved his life.
