The Customs and Border Protection officers are joining 2,000 other officers and agents at the Department of Homeland Security who have recently been deployed to the Minneapolis region.

Around 1,000 additional US Customs and Border Protection agents are expected to deploy to Minneapolis, according to two federal law enforcement sources, as tensions between federal law enforcement and local counterparts flare after an ICE-involved shooting last week left a mother of three dead.

State and local officials in Minnesota are suing the Department of Homeland Security over tactics used by immigration agents after the killing of a woman by an ICE agent.
