Overview
- The Department of Homeland Security says the officer fired a defensive shot after being attacked by three people using a broom and a shovel; the Venezuelan man was hit in the leg, two others were detained, and the officer was hospitalized, while the city reported non‑life‑threatening injuries.
- Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said he could not confirm the scuffle described by DHS, noting that reviews and investigations are underway.
- Federal agents deployed tear gas and flashbangs to clear crowds near the Whipple Federal Building, and city and state leaders again demanded that ICE leave Minnesota.
- Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul have sued the federal government over the enforcement surge, and UN officials along with Human Rights Watch have called for an independent probe into the killing of Renee Nicole Good.
- An online “ICE‑List” published names and contact details for about 4,500 ICE agents, which the site’s operator and The Daily Beast attribute to a DHS whistleblower.
