Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) called for the removal of two prominent Department of Homeland Security officials on Sunday, citing the recent Minneapolis shooting involving the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Pritzker compared Wednesday’s shooting in Minneapolis to two shootings in Chicago involving ICE, one of which saw authorities shoot someone attempting to flee a traffic stop in September 2025.
