Minneapolis has seen large-scale protests over the last 24 hours after ICE agents shot and killed 37-year old Renee Good, who had been filming agents from her car. The protests have been largely peaceful so far, but have involved several risk factors, including limited damage by protesters at a downtown Federal Courthouse, the use of chemical munitions at point-blank range by federal agents, and the presence of provocateurs. As of publication, the FBI has taken control of the shooting investigation, prompting denunciations from state and local leaders who have raised concerns about the need for an impartial investigation.

Threats and harassment against local officials decreased from October to November. The latest Threats and Harassment Dataset (THD) update adds 60 new threat and harassment events to the dataset, including 18 for November, bringing the total number of events captured so far in 2025 to over 500. Community-specific issues remained a consistent driver of incidents for the month, though to a smaller extent compared to previous months. So far this year, THD has no recorded threats or harassment against election officials and and has seen fewer election-related grievances, compared to the years preceding the 2024 presidential election.
