ICE agent shoots Minneapolis man in leg, DHS says he attacked officer, fled traffic stop

From Global News.

A man was shot in the leg by a U.S. federal officer on Wednesday in Minneapolis after the agent was attacked with a shovel and broom handle while trying to make an arrest, officials said.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement on X that federal law enforcement officers were conducting a “targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela.”

Anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests have been growing in Minneapolis following the killing of Renee Nicole by an ICE agent on Jan. 7. The Trump administration has repeatedly defended the ICE agent who shot Good, a mother of three, saying he acted in self-defence.
