First Thing: Federal agent shoots man in Minneapolis as tensions in city run high

Mayor urges calm as city continues to reel in aftermath of Renee Good’s killing. Plus, how Adam Tooze makes sense of our bewildering age

Good morning.

A federal officer shot a man in the leg during an enforcement operation in north Minneapolis, sparking protests in a city still on edge after the killing of Renee Nicole Good by a federal agent last week.

What did the Minneapolis mayor say? “I’ve seen conduct from ICE that is disgusting and intolerable,” Jacob Frey said. But he urged protesters to go home. “We cannot counter Donald Trump’s chaos with more chaos … Anyone who is taking the bait tonight, stop. You are not helping the undocumented immigrants in our city.”

What had Trump say he was going to do? Trump had repeatedly talked in recent days about coming to the help of the Iranian people, saying the US was “locked and loaded” if Iran started to shoot at the protesters.
