US EditionSecond ICE Shooting in Minneapolis Escalates Tensions as Protesters Demand Federal Withdrawal
The shooting, claimed as self-defense by ICE, follows a week of intensified protests over immigration enforcement and federal operations, with about 100 protesters at the federal building.
- During a North Minneapolis traffic stop late on Jan. 14, 2026, DHS says a federal officer shot a Venezuelan national in the leg during a resisting-arrest chase on the 600 block of 24th Avenue N.
- Amid a federal surge officials call Operation Metro Surge, City of Minneapolis officials say it began in Dec 2025 with thousands of masked DHS agents and DHS says it has made more than 2,000 arrests.
- Local witnesses and a 911 call dispute parts of DHS's account, while the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and FBI were reported on scene, and the man was hospitalized with a non-life-threatening injury.
- Images from the scene show tear gas, smoke and crowd-control measures as about 100 protesters gathered outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, some urging Governor Tim Walz to deploy the National Guard while President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act.
- The second shooting this week underscores widening legal fights, with City of Minneapolis and Minnesota Attorney General lawsuits seeking to halt the federal surge operation amid broader constitutional and public-safety concerns and a federal force five times larger than the 600-officer Minneapolis police force.
