ICE Agent Fires During St. Paul Encounter After Truck Hits Two Officers, DHS Says

Officials describe a detention after a crash into an ICE vehicle during stepped-up immigration operations in the Twin Cities.

Overview

  • The shooting occurred Sunday morning in St. Paul as ICE conducted an enforcement action, according to DHS.
  • Agents say they identified themselves at a parked truck, the driver refused to lower his window, then drove off and struck an officer.
  • The driver later hit an ICE vehicle, an agent fired without hitting him, and he was tackled outside his apartment when he tried to flee.
  • DHS says the man bit an agent during the restraint, and the officers who were struck suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
  • St. Paul police said they responded to reports of gunfire and learned the shot came from an ICE agent, and DHS noted the man entered the U.S. in 2024 through a now-ended Biden-era program.
