A federal agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot and injured a man in Minneapolis on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, during an attempted arrest. The incident occurred in the 600 block of 24th Avenue North at approximately 6:50 p.m. local time. The man, identified as an allegedly undocumented Venezuelan national, was shot in the leg and sustained non-life-threatening injuries. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the man fled a traffic stop, crashed into a parked car, and then resisted arrest. DHS further stated that the man, along with two other individuals, assaulted the federal agent with a snow shovel and broom handle, leading the agent to fire a "defensive shot" to protect his life. However, Minneapolis Police Department Chief Brian O'Hara later presented a slightly different version of events, indicating that information was still emerging. The shooting quickly ignited tense protests in the area, with demonstrators clashing with federal agents and local police. Authorities deployed tear gas and less-lethal projectiles against protesters, who reportedly threw fireworks, ice, and rocks at officers. This incident follows another recent fatal shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis just days prior, involving Renee Good, a U.S. citizen, on January 7, 2026, which also drew significant public outrage and protests. The event highlights ongoing scrutiny of federal immigration enforcement tactics in the region.
