what happened in minnesota last night

Most of the major news from Minnesota “last night” centers on unrest and protests in Minneapolis following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shooting of a man, along with wider debate over the government response in the state. There were also other statewide safety and public‑interest updates, like dangerous ice conditions on lakes and a health warning about a contaminated supplement.

Quick Scoop

  • A federal ICE agent shot and injured a man in north Minneapolis, which led to large protests that stretched into the night and early morning.
  • Most protests were described as peaceful, but there were reports of some people throwing objects and fireworks at officers, prompting police to use crowd‑control measures like gas.
  • President Donald Trump publicly threatened to use the Insurrection Act to deploy the military in Minnesota if the unrest continued, sharply escalating the political temperature around the situation.
  • Minnesota officials emphasized support for peaceful demonstration while condemning acts of violence and property damage connected to the protests.

Political Fallout

  • Governor Tim Walz’s handling of the protests and federal enforcement activity drew intense criticism from some Republicans in the state, including calls for his resignation from prominent party figures who said his response endangered public safety.
  • Supporters of the administration’s tougher approach argued that unrest justified stronger law‑and‑order measures, while critics warned that deploying the military or using extreme rhetoric would further inflame tensions in Minneapolis and beyond.

Other Minnesota Updates

  • In Brown County, two people riding a UTV broke through thin ice on Lake Hanska; they made it out but struggled through unsafe ice before reaching shore, prompting a temporary ban on vehicles on that part of the lake.
  • State health officials urged residents not to consume “Live it Up Super Greens” after linking it to a multistate Salmonella outbreak that has already sickened several adults in Minnesota, with at least one hospitalization, though all reported patients recovered.
