A federal immigration officer shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday during an enforcement operation, state and local officials said.
The shooting came as the Trump administration ramped up a promised crackdown on illegal immigration in Minnesota.
The woman’s condition was not immediately clear. The Department of Homeland Security had no immediate comment.
Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota said in a statement that he had been informed of the shooting, which took place in a residential neighborhood in South Minneapolis.
“My public safety team is working to gather information on an ICE- related shooting this morning.” Mr. Walz said. “We will share information as we learn more. In the meantime, I ask folks to remain calm.”
About 2,000 federal agents were expected to take part in the enforcement operation, which could last for weeks, according to administration posts on social media.
