- Minnesota’s governor is requesting President Trump withdraw federal agents following a shooting that killed a man.
- The shooting occurred during a federal crackdown on illegal immigration, with another similar incident occurring earlier this month.
- The victim, described by the governor as a “lawful firearms owner,” was labelled a “domestic terrorist” by officials, though videos suggest he already possessed his gun when agents intervened.
A: Hey Hana, did you hear anything about what’s been happening in America?
B: Oh, hi Kenji! No, what's up? Something bad?
A: Yeah, it's a bit crazy. Apparently, there’s been another shooting in Minnesota.
B: Seriously? Another one? I thought I read about something like that recently…
A: You’re right! A man died after being shot by federal agents. It's part of Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.
B: Wow, that’s heavy. And someone else died in a similar incident just a few weeks ago.
A: Exactly. People are protesting in Minneapolis because of it – it’s freezing cold there too!
B: That must be tough. So, what’s the story? What did the government say?
A: They’re saying the man had a gun and it was self-defense. They even called him a terrorist.
A: But the governor, Tim Walz, is saying something completely different. He says the man was well-liked and had no criminal record. He was even allowed to own a gun legally!
B: That's… contradictory. So, the governor thinks the federal agents did something wrong?
A: He does! He says they’re messing with the crime scene and hiding evidence. He thinks it's not right, not fair, or kind.
B: Hmm. I saw something online too. Some videos suggest the agents already took the man's gun before they shot him.
A: Right?! It’s all really confusing and upsetting, isn't it?
