Overview
- DHS says the man fled a targeted stop, crashed, ran, resisted and, with two others wielding a shovel and broom handle, attacked an agent before the officer fired a ‘defensive’ shot to the leg.
- Both the wounded man and the ICE agent were hospitalized in stable condition, and the two additional suspects were taken into custody, according to federal statements and local officials.
- Crowds gathered near the scene and confronted federal officers, who used tear gas, pepper rounds and flash devices as police declared an unlawful assembly.
- DHS publicly accused Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey of encouraging organized resistance to ICE, escalating a public rift with state and city leaders.
- President Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to stop attacks on agents as courts consider challenges to the federal deployment, which follows the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Nicole Good and resignations by multiple federal prosecutors.
