Minneapolis demands ICE leave city after agent shoots immigrant

An ICE agent shot and wounded a Venezuelan immigrant in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening, intensifying unrest around Operation Metro Surge. DHS said the stop escalated after the man fled, crashed, and, with two others, allegedly assaulted the agent with a snow shovel and broom, prompting a defensive shot that struck the suspect’s leg. Both the agent and suspect were hospitalized; two others were detained. Protests erupted as police reported unlawful acts and moved to disperse crowds. Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz condemned the federal deployment and urged nonviolence, with the city demanding ICE leave.
