On the street corners of Minneapolis on Saturday night, people were gathering in groups of five or 10. Bracing the freezing cold, they stood in silent vigil holding candles to remember another one of their own who had been shot dead by Donald Trump’s federal agents. Like thousands of fellow Minnesotans, he was doing what he could to combat a large-scale ICE enforcement operation in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. He was observing ICE in south Minneapolis on Saturday morning when he was shot dead by federal agents. Stephen Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff who many see as the architect of this terror being unleased on Minneapolis, described the incident as an “assassin trying to murder federal agents”.
