Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of major corporations based in Minnesota, United States, have called for an immediate de-escalation following a fatal shooting incident involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

According to Bloomberg on the 25th (local time), more than 60 CEOs affiliated with the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce issued a joint statement, saying, "In light of yesterday's tragic news, we urge immediate de-escalation and call on state, local, and federal officials to work together to find practical solutions."

In the statement, they said, "The recent challenges facing Minnesota have resulted in widespread disruption and tragic loss of life," adding, "Over the past several weeks, Minnesota business leaders have been working daily behind the scenes with federal, state, and local officials to advance practical solutions."

This is the first time the Minnesota business community has issued a statement following the fatal shooting by immigration authorities. The list of signatories to the joint statement includes CEOs of major American corporations headquartered in Minnesota, such as 3M, Target, Best Buy, Cargill, and UnitedHealth Group.

Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, two American citizens have died in January alone due to shootings by immigration enforcement officers, fueling growing backlash against the enforcement practices of the Donald Trump administration.
