Minneapolis protesters stage 'noise demo' outside hotel housing ICE agents

Minneapolis residents on Friday (January 9) staged a "noise demonstration" outside hotels housing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, as tensions rise over the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an ICE agent on Wednesday (January 7).

Protesters were seen holding signs, chanting "No justice, no peace" and hitting pans and playing instruments.

The White House on Friday reposted on social media a video taken from the cellphone of the U.S. Immigration officer who fatally shot a Minnesota woman in her car this week, adding to the documentation of an incident that has sparked days of nationwide protests.

In the new video Renee Good, 37, appearing calm, is heard telling the officer, "That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you" - some of the last words she ever speaks - moments before he opens fire as Good drives the car forward into the street.

The 47-second clip was likely to further inflame tensions between state and local government leaders and members of President Donald Trump's administration, who have offered starkly different accounts of Wednesday's shooting in a Minneapolis residential neighborhood.

Minnesota authorities on Friday said they were opening their own criminal investigation, after some state law enforcement officials said the FBI was refusing to cooperate with state investigators.
