As federal and local leaders continue to trade blame, protests continue in Minneapolis.

The Washington Post's video reporting shows enforcement agents firing bursts of what appears to be tear gas as demonstrators shout and throw things at them.

On Wednesday night, a Venezuelan man was shot and injured by a federal agent.

The Department of Homeland Security said their officers were reacting to being attacked as they attempted to make an arrest.

Right now, there's close to 3,000 federal agents in Minnesota, as the Trump administration expands its presence there.

Heavily armed agents have been reported forcibly entering houses, pulling over a school bus, and seizing people at work.

The ACLU has now sued the government, accusing it of indiscriminately targeting Somali and Latino communities without probable cause.

Yesterday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry repeated his call for ICE to leave.

But Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has promised to continue the surge and defended the operation to reporters.

Meanwhile, President Trump has, not for the first time, threatened to invoke the centuries-old Insurrection Act, which enables the president to deploy the military on U.S.

soil.

In response to the surge, some local groups have begun tracking the movements of federal agents.
