New video of the protester killed by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday morning appeared to contradict the narrative put forth by the Department of Homeland Security.

Following the shooting, DHS posted on social media that “the individual approached U.S. Border Patrol agents with the 9mm semi-automatic handgun seen here.”

DHS released a photo of a gun that ICE said the man was brandishing when he shot him in “self-defense.”

However, the new video circulating on social media showed that the man was holding a phone, not a gun, at the moments of the shooting.

DHS has not yet commented on the new video but will hold a press conference on Saturday. Local officials said at their own news conference that they believed the deceased was a 37-year-old white male from Minneapolis. Mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Frey (D) Renewed his presidential call Donald Trump To get ICE out of his city.

Since the shootings, protesters on city streets have clashed with federal agents. Protests began after an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old mother Renee Good earlier this month.
