A second shooting by ICE of somebody who actually attacked an ICE officer has now broken into the news. Last night, there was violence against the police. There were some riots in Minneapolis. This all started, according to the New York Times, when a federal agent shot an injured man in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening, according to federal officials, an incident that touched off hours of clashes between protesters and law enforcement officers and came just one week after an immigration agent killed a woman in the city. Now, of course, that is typical New York Times coverage. The agent shot the woman after she attempted to drive her car at him, or at least he perceived that as the case. Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the DHS, of course, is on the show just a couple of days ago, said in a statement that federal agents were trying to arrest a man from Venezuela,

who was in the country illegally in a targeted traffic stop around 6.50 p.m. Apparently, he fled from agents when the officer caught up to him. According to McLaughlin, he began to resist and violently assault the officer, and two people came out of a nearby building and, along with the man who was being sought, attacked the officer with a snow shovel and a broom handle. Well, I mean, you do that, you're going to get shot. That's just the way that law enforcement works. Attack an officer with a weapon, you will be shot. The officer feared for his life and fired shots, striking the man whom agents were seeking in the leg. The agent and the man who were shot were in the hospital, according to McLaughlin.

The other two people she accused of attacking the agent were apparently in custody already. The city suggested that the person shot had non-life-threatening injuries. Here's Fox News reporting on the situation last night.

ICE was going after a Venezuelan illegal alien who had been caught and released at the border by the Biden administration in 2022. That person crashed a car, crashed into a parked car, got out and fled. ICE was chasing him down. And then while they were wrestling on the ground, two people came out of a nearby apartment and then started attacking the ICE officer with shovels. And during that ambush attack, that is when the officer pulled out his weapon, fired, and hit one of the suspects. who, again, is stable.

Well, this prompted the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, to then take some gasoline and pour it right on the fire. He went on X last night and he tweeted, state investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis. I know you're angry. I'm angry.

How did the Minneapolis police respond to the ICE shooting incident?

What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets, but Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community and of peace. Don't give him what he wants. So he's saying don't get violent, but he's kind of winking and nodding at the violence. He actually put out a TV statement that essentially urged on the protesters. Here's what it sounded like.
Ilhan Omar 3:08
Let's be very, very clear. This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government. Last week, that campaign claimed the life of Renee Nicole Good. We've all watched the video. We've all seen what happened, and yet instead of conducting an impartial investigation so we can hold accountable the officer responsible for Renee's death, the Trump administration is devoting the full power of the federal government to finding an excuse to attack the victim and her family.
