In a disturbing incident amid ongoing anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis, a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer had his finger bitten off by a rioter, according to a post from Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security.
McLaughlin shared graphic photos on X, showing the injured officer sitting in a vehicle, his uniform caked in mud, as a gloved hand tends to his mangled finger.
One image shows the severed fingertip, bloodied and raw, and another shows it preserved in a small plastic container, presumably for medical evaluation.
McLaughlin confirmed that the officer will lose the finger.
Additional photos show individuals alleged to be involved in the biting incident. Their identities and roles in the attack are unclear at the time of publishing.
“In Minneapolis, these rioters attacked our law enforcement officer and one of them bit off our HSI officer’s finger. He will lose his finger,” McLaughlin wrote.

The attack comes amid riots in Minneapolis after federal agents were involved in the fatal shooting of an armed agitator who was confronting them on Saturday morning.
The Department of Homeland Security’s statement about the shooting read in full:
“At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.
The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming.
Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.
About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement.
This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming.”
The mayhem is still unfolding in Minneapolis, as hundreds of protesters descended on the area of the shooting and are ignoring dispersal orders.
Democrat leaders, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz, have condemned ICE and demanded their removal from the city — but are not stopping the violent agitators.

Mayhem.
They need to ID the rabid biter.
The ICE agent would be fully justified in knocking out the teeth of the leftist who did the biting, in my opinion.
Careful...the ICE agent may now turn into one of the Minnesota walking dead...
The leftists like to bite fingers—they have too many fingers in their corruption pie as is.
Some people just need beaten with a stick.
Biting is a common behavior in young children, often stemming from various developmental needs and emotions, and can be managed with appropriate strategies.
Why Do Children Bite?
Teething: Infants may bite to relieve discomfort from teething, as their gums can be sore and tender.
1
Exploration: Young children often explore their environment with their mouths, leading to accidental biting as they learn about their surroundings.
2
Communication: Children who lack the verbal skills to express their feelings may resort to biting to communicate frustration, anger, or a need for attention.
2
Attention-Seeking: Some children bite to gain attention, even if it is negative, especially if they feel ignored.
2
Frustration: Biting can occur when children are frustrated or overwhelmed, particularly in social situations where they struggle to share or cooperate.

Do the brain check
They’d do it to a dog and a dog is far and away more valuable than one of them.
So do psychos.
Antifa needs to feed their crazy damn knuckledraggers. They are real Neanderthals. A box of dog biscuits isn’t that expensive.
That’s demonic. It’s the only explanation.
Why does that b*tch have teeth in her mouth? You know a liberal judge will let her walk or a liberal jury will exonerate her. There is a time and place for street justice, and when we can’t rely on the rule of law that time is now.
Not just any stick though. A hickory grubbing hoe handle....

"They're feral Jim," Bones explained.
That’ll work just fine.
