Furious protesters burned the American flag on the streets of Minneapolis as the city descended into chaos after a woman was shot dead by an ICE agent.

Shocking footage showed the Stars and Stripes being set aflame as hordes took to the streets on Wednesday.

The protesters shouted anti-ICE chants as they burned the flag, while others threw snowballs at and physically confronted agents.

The chaotic scenes came after 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot in the head by an ICE agent.

Tensions have reached fever pitch in the city as the Department of Homeland Security conducts its biggest operation 'ever' in Minneapolis after a series of fraud scandals.

Law enforcement used tear gas and pepper spray on protesters, while local police also put up metal barriers to separate them from federal agents.

Homeland Security said she was shot after she made 'an attempt to kill' officers.

Minneapolis officials however have disputed that version of events, with Governor Tim Walz calling it 'propaganda.'

Earlier on Wednesday, mayor Jacob Frey told ICE to 'get the **** out of Minneapolis.'
