Blocks away from a local Native American housing community, a 37-year-old mother was shot by ICE agents Wednesday, sparking nationwide protests.

Under a bridge near Little Earth, agents detained four Native American men, all citizens of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, according to tribal President Frank Star Comes Out.

On Thursday, a Red Lake Nation descendant, Jose Roberto “Beto” Ramirez, was detained by ICE in a northern Minneapolis suburb as he was driving to visit his aunt.

On the south side of Minneapolis, community advocate Jearica Fountain, Karuk Tribe, said she’s heard numerous reports of ICE encounters with Native Americans.

“Native Americans are being detained, but then no one knows where to find them to bring in verification to show they’re Native American,” Fountain said.

Fountain said she fears that the Native community of south Minneapolis is being targeted by ICE.

There’s a lack of data on how many American Indian or Alaska Native people have been stopped, questioned or detained by ICE. »

A Tehran doctor told TIME on condition of anonymity that just six hospitals in the capital had recorded at least 217 protester deaths, “most by live ammunition.”

Human rights groups on Friday reported much lower death tolls than the physician, though the discrepancy might be explained by differing reporting standards.

The D.C.-based Human Rights Activist News Agency, which tallies only victims who have been identified, reported at least 63 deaths since the start of the protests, including 49 civilians. »
