Overview
- Officials say the targeted ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations stop occurred around 7 p.m. near North Sixth Street and North 24th Avenue, where a Venezuelan man fled a vehicle crash and struggled with an officer.
- DHS reports two people emerged from a nearby apartment and struck the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle before the agent shot the man in the leg.
- The wounded man is hospitalized in stable condition, an ICE officer also received medical treatment, and agents later breached a residence and took multiple people into custody.
- Large crowds gathered and clashed with law enforcement, with Minneapolis police citing fireworks, ice and rocks thrown by protesters and officers deploying tear gas and other crowd-control munitions.
- The FBI is investigating the incident, which unfolded during Operation Metro Surge and followed last week’s fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, as city and state leaders criticize federal tactics and urge calm.
