From USA TODAY.

Hundreds more federal agents are being sent to Minnesota, the Trump administration said, as furor grows over the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the surge in an interview on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures."

"We’re sending more officers today and tomorrow," Noem said Jan. 11. "They’ll arrive, there’ll be hundreds more in order to allow our ICE and our Border Patrol individuals that are working in Minneapolis to do so safely."

The deployments come amid nationwide protests over the killing of Renee Nicole Good and more than a month after federal authorities began sending agents to Minnesota as part of an operation targeting undocumented immigrants and fraud in the state’s social services programs.
