ICE Agent Fires During St. Paul Arrest After Pickup Hits Two Officers

Officials say gunfire did not strike the Cuban man detained after a chase at an apartment complex.

Overview

  • Department of Homeland Security reports agents identified themselves at a parking lot stop when the driver refused to lower his window and then drove off, hitting an officer.
  • Agents intercepted the pickup nearby, where the driver rammed an ICE vehicle and struck a second officer before an agent fired during the encounter.
  • St. Paul police said they responded to reports of shots and confirmed the gunfire came from a federal agent, with no indication of civilian shooters.
  • The detained man attempted to flee on foot and, during the struggle outside his apartment, bit an officer, according to DHS.
  • Authorities say the two injured officers had non‑life‑threatening injuries, the suspect was evaluated at a hospital, and DHS states he entered the U.S. in 2024 via a now‑ended program and is living without authorization.
