US immigration agent’s fatal shooting of woman leaves Minneapolis in shock—

In 2020, George Floyd was killed by a police officer in the same neighborhood, sparking a wave of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests here and across the country, as the United States examined bias in law enforcement and generations of fractured race relations.
But some now fear the act of protest itself, saying it has grown more dangerous under the Trump administration.
