Second ICE Shooting in Minneapolis Fuels State-Level Fight Over Immigration Enforcement

The nonfatal incident heightens pressure from Democratic officials, with New York moving to allow civil suits against ICE officers.

Overview

  • DHS says an officer shot a Venezuelan man in the leg to defend his life after being attacked by three people during an attempted arrest.
  • Minneapolis officials report the injury is not life-threatening, two additional suspects were detained, and the officer was treated for injuries.
  • City leaders renewed calls for ICE to leave Minneapolis and Minnesota as protests persist after last week’s fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
  • New York Governor Kathy Hochul endorsed a bill to let residents sue ICE officers in state court for civil-rights violations, a step likely to face federal immunity challenges.
  • The fallout expanded as a website published data said to identify about 4,500 ICE agents, nearly 70 House Democrats backed efforts to impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and Minnesota and Illinois filed suits against the Trump administration.
