Minneapolis Public Schools has canceled classes and activities following the fatal shooting of a woman by an immigration officer and ensuing protests.

The school district, which has an enrolment of about 29,000 students, said in a statement on Wednesday that there will be no school, sports and activities on Thursday and Friday “due to safety concerns related to today’s incidents around the city.”

The 37-year-old woman, identified as Renee Nicole Good, was fatally shot in a residential neighbourhood south of downtown Minneapolis during the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown in a major city.

Her killing after 9:30 a.m. was recorded on video by witnesses.

    Deploy police? So they can argue over which unarmed taxpayer they can shoot? Any municipal police that confronts ICE will be killed.

      Any municipal police that confronts ICE will be killed.

      But seriously maybe they’ll take a few with them or even more likely that ICE will just run away in the face of actual resistance.
