The two killings occurred in different circumstances approximately three weeks apart - the first on January 4, 2026 and the second on January 24, 2026.
The first victim was identified as a woman participating in or near protests, while the second was a 37-year-old U.S. citizen allegedly involved in a confrontation with agents.
Both shootings involved ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents specifically, not local Minneapolis police.
The killings sparked mass protests in Minneapolis rather than occurring during pre-existing demonstrations.
The MEP did not specify that these were January 2026 incidents involving federal immigration enforcement.
