US President Donald Trump has said "the day of reckoning and retribution is coming", for Minnesota.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, the Republican president said immigration officers want to remove what he said were thousands of murderers, drug dealers and dangerous people from foreign mental institutions from the state and send them back to the countries they came from.
He wrote: FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!
The state of Minnesota has announced that it is suing the Trump administration over the immigration crackdown following the death of Renee Nicole Good.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who announced the legal action, said the Department of Homeland Security's surge of immigration officers into the Democratic-led northern state in recent days has "made us less safe".
"Thousands of poorly trained, aggressive and armed agents of the state, of the federal government, have rolled into our communities," Mr Ellison told a news conference.
"The obvious targeting of Minnesota for our diversity, for our democracy and our differences of opinion with the federal government, is a violation of the Constitution and federal law.
"This is, in essence, a federal invasion," he said.
In his Truth Social post, Mr Trump took a swipe at former president Joe Biden's immigration policies and claimed that "thousands of criminals were removed" from Chicago after immigration officers were sent there.
Meanwhile, the United Nations has demanded a swift and independent investigation into the fatal shooting of Ms Good.
The UN rights office voiced deep concern at the killing.
"Under international human rights law, the intentional use of lethal force is only permissible as a measure of last resort against an individual representing an imminent threat to life," UN rights office spokesman Jeremy Laurence told reporters in Geneva.
"We take note of the FBI investigation and insist on the need for prompt, independent and transparent investigation into the killing," he said.
Mr Laurence also urged "all authorities to take measures to deescalate tensions and refrain from incitement to violence".
Ms Good's death has sparked widespread anger at the use of force in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, sparking nationwide protests.
The president as sought to paint Ms Good as a "domestic terrorist", vigorously insisting the agent who fatally shot her was acting in self-defence.
This is strongly disputed by local officials, who say footage shows her vehicle turning away from the agent and did not pose a threat to his life.
Protesters have demanded a full investigation into the circumstances of the deadly encounter.
Democratic officials are particularly critical of the fact that local authorities have been excluded from the investigation, which is being conducted by the FBI.
Watch: Attorney General of Minnesota, Keith Ellison
Mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Frey said that President Trump was targeting Minnesota for his immigration crackdown because of its Democratic leadership.
"If the goal were simply to look for people who are undocumented, Minneapolis and Saint Paul would not be the place you would go," Mr Frey said.
"There are countless more people that are undocumented in Florida and Texas and Utah," the mayor said, but those states, he noted, are Republican-controlled.
Illinois, another Democratic-ruled state targeted by the Trump administration for its immigration crackdown, filed a similar suit against the federal government yesterday.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in television interviews on Sunday, defended the actions of the ICE officer who shot and killed Ms Good.
Ms Noem said the officer acted in self-defence when she drove her car at him, a narrative strongly disputed by local officials who point to footage from the scene showing Ms Good's vehicle turning away from the agent.
Ms Noem also said that hundreds more federal agents were heading to Minneapolis, where there have been daily protests and vigils mourning her death.
