ATLANTA (Jan. 24, 2026) — The situation in Minneapolis remains volatile after another fatal shooting involving federal agents conducting immigration operations. The tragedies in Minnesota should not be allowed to further divide and polarize the American people. We are reminded of other volatile situations The ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ has witnessed around the world in our pursuit of conflict resolution. Our long experience demonstrates that de-escalation is urgently needed for peace to be restored.

This de-escalation should start with federal authorities ending their current operations in Minnesota so local law enforcement can restore calm and safety. We also call for demonstrations to remain peaceful and for credible, transparent investigations into the recent deaths and other incidents to ensure accountability. We further call for federal officials to ensure that future ICE and other federal law enforcement operations are conducted in line with constitutional principles.

We applaud the people of Minnesota for the compassion they have shown in supporting their neighbors during this crisis. We must all demonstrate that same humanity and work to bridge divides at this perilous moment.
