Overview
- DHS says agents conducting a targeted traffic stop pursued a man who fled by car, crashed, ran on foot and resisted arrest before two others allegedly attacked the agent with a snow shovel and a broom handle.
- According to DHS, the agent fired in self-defense and wounded the man in the leg; both the agent and the wounded individual were hospitalized, and two others were taken into custody.
- Crowds gathered near the scene, and federal officers used tear gas, pepper balls and other less-lethal munitions to disperse protesters, according to on-scene reporting.
- Minneapolis officials said the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is processing the scene and evidence as the inquiry proceeds.
- The episode follows last week’s fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good in the city and has deepened political conflict, with DHS blaming Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey for encouraging resistance and city leaders again urging ICE to leave.
