A Venezuelan national was shot after attacking a federal law enforcement officer with a shovel, the Department of Homeland Security announced on Wednesday.
According to a DHS statement to Fox News, the Venezuelan national was reportedly subject to a “target traffic stop” by federal agents. The illegal alien then attempted to evade capture using his vehicle before crashing into a parked car. The individual then attempted to flee on foot.
An agent managed to apprehend the individual during the ensuing chase. The Venezuelan national then began resisting arrest and “violently assault[ed]” the arresting officer. Two more individuals then exited a nearby residence and began assisting the Venezuelan national in the assault on the officer while wielding a snow shovel and broom handle.
During the incident, the Venezuelan national managed to obtain one of the weapons and began attacking the officer.
The officer fired his weapon at his attacker and struck the individual in the leg.
The group then retreated back into the residence and barricaded themselves inside before being taken into custody. Both the officer and the Venezuelan national have been hospitalized. Recommended Anti-ICE Protesters Try to Shame an Agent — It Backfires Spectacularly Amy Curtis Related:
“This attack on another brave member of law enforcement took place while Minnesota’s top leaders, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey, are actively encouraging an organized resistance to ICE and federal law enforcement officers,” DHS said in a statement.
“Their hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end. Federal law enforcement officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest criminals and lawbreakers.”
Anti-ICE protests quickly broke out after the assault on the officer occurred. The protestors surrounded the scene and began harassing officers. Crowd control tactics were employed soon after.

There should be full details in the media.
Call a spade a spade, unless it’s really a shovel.

Deputy US Attorney General Todd Blanche responds to ICE-involved shooting tonight in Minneapolis.
“ICE operates in thousands of counties without incident. Men and women doing their jobs, protecting us from criminal aliens.
“Minnesota insurrection is a direct result of a FAILED governor and a TERRIBLE mayor encouraging violence against law enforcement. It’s disgusting.
“Walz and Frey - I’m focused on stopping YOU from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. This is not a threat. It’s a promise.”
Just tonight, Gov. Walz encouraged people to keep confronting ICE agents.
Ya
Where is Minneapolis LE to assist these guys
That incident in San Antonio got shut down pretty fast. That was 8 to 1
Why are these interactions in Minneapolis 1 to 3. Or 5 to 250?
In other news, Maduro was freed from jail and was last seen driving towards the airport yet mysteriously has not arrived yet
huh what?
...and Generalisimo Francsico Franco is still dead.
When did the dumbass rioters take the side of hate-filled, foreign maggots over the own government. Lay off the drugs and get the hell out of our country, COMMIE PIGGIES!!!
Shovel, shoot, shaddap.
This is what I voted for. Shoot more of the sewage.
“A Venezuelan national was shot after attacking a federal law enforcement officer with a shovel”
couldn’t they have shot him in the handle?
What the screaming leftist women don’t understand is the people that will beat a ARMED ICE officer with a shovel will gladly harm them or anyone else.
The lunatics are back at it, blowing their stupid whistles.
No Minneapolis police on site, but SPT police are..along with ICE.
The crowd looks like they want to start something..
If they were buzzed by a low altitude helo they’d scatter like cockroaches.
Aerial crowed control.
An agent was attacked, ambushed but they’re pissed & probably gonna riot protesting the illegal that got shot while attacking!
These people are insane, lock them all up
I’m not surprised….
Not like the high class national ones : A mother will not be home to tuck her children in tonight. She was killed by an ICE agent sent to make an example of her for driving home while ICE brought terror and chaos to the people of Minneapolis once again.
We are in an organized insurrection with Governors and Mayors encouraging the attackers. They goaded the protestors into pushing the envelope into violence and got exactly what they wanted.
