More than 60 businesses in Minnesota on Monday in an <a href="https://www.mnchamber.com/blog/open-letter-more-60-ceos-minnesota-based-companies">open letter </a>called for the "immediate deescalation of tensions" after a second person was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis.

The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce released the joint letter signed by the executives of Minnesota-based companies, including Target, Best Buy, and UnitedHealth.

“With yesterday’s tragic news, we are calling for an immediate deescalation of tensions and for state, local and federal officials to work together to find real solutions.”

Tensions have escalated since the deaths of Alex Pretti, 37, and Renee Good, 27. Both shootings are under investigation by the FBI.

Businesses across Minneapolis have taken a hit as President Donald Trump’s administration carries out a massive immigration operation.

The federal surge has prompted widespread demonstrations, with protesters targeting businesses they consider to be collaborating or complicit with ICE. This includes some hotels that housed federal immigration officers. The hotels have stopped accepting reservations for the safety of their employees and patrons.

Additionally, popular retailer Target has experienced a sit-in by protestors who demand that the retailer ban ICE agents from using its parking lots as staging grounds. In 2020, Target was also a focal point of demonstrations following the death of George Floyd.

Immigrant advocacy group Unidos MN helped organize the protests at Target locations in Twin Cities, Minneapolis, alleging that the retailer “collaborates” with ICE.  The group said that Customs and Border Patrol “assaulted and kidnapped two US citizens” earlier this month as they worked a shift in Richfield.

It also alleged that Customs and Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino entered the Midway Target in Saint Paul with a team of agents “to film propaganda.”

“Target is Minnesota’s leading corporate citizen. It is the 4th largest employer in the state,” Unidos MS <a href="https://unidos-mn.org/thefourth">wrote in a statement.</a> Minnesota’s sports teams play in stadiums and jerseys with Target’s logo on them. Where Target leads, others follow. We need Target to stand with Minnesotans against the public executions in our community and the continued attacks on our neighbors.”

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has defended operations, calling them lawful enforcement targeting criminal offenders.

Minnesota-based businesses said that the chaos has created widespread disruption, and continue to push for a solution.

"For the past several weeks, representatives of Minnesota’s business community have been working every day behind the scenes with federal, state and local officials to advance real solutions,"<a href="https://www.mnchamber.com/blog/open-letter-more-60-ceos-minnesota-based-companies"> the letter states.</a> "These efforts have included close communication with the Governor, the White House, the Vice President and local mayors."

Meanwhile, Trump has deployed his Border czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis to manage Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following weeks of clashes between protestors and federal agents.
