The Minnesota Star Tribune is now reporting that the mother of the woman who was killed has identified her as Renee Nicole Good.

For more, we're joined now by Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara.

Thank you for being with us.

And you said just yesterday that the way ICE had carried out their operations, the intense emotions surrounding all of this made unrest or a tragedy

0:23.6

almost inevitable. And now that is precisely what has happened. How do you square that warning
