Breaking: New ICE Shooting in Minnesota After Alleged Attack With Shovel (Updated)
Red State ^ | 01/14/26 | Nick Arama

Posted on 01/14/2026 8:53:22 PM PST by SeekAndFind

There's a report of another shooting involving ICE in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

According to Fox News' Bill Melugin:

BREAKING: I’m told by four law enforcement sources there has been another ICE involved shooting in Minneapolis tonight. I’m told ICE was making contact with a target who then allegedly assaulted an officer with a shovel or swung a shovel, shots were fired, and the suspect ran back to a house. No info yet on if anyone was actually shot - just that shots were fired.

Very preliminary info - more as we get it.

Melugin later confirmed that the man was shot, was Venezuelan, and was in stable condition.

He reported that the activists were already gathering. Because of course.

They immediately have to insert themselves, even before all the facts are known. It's just sick.

The video sound is a little garbled.

Hopefully, it doesn't get out of control. But you can count on the left to spin this for all it is worth. As Fox News noted, Gov. Tim Walz is lying his head off about ICE and urging activists on.

It sounds like they are surging agents there to secure the scene.

Update: More from Melugin:

BREAKING: DHS statement to @FoxNews

At 6:50 PM CT, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022.

In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot.

The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.

As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick.

Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg.

All three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside.

The attacked officer and subject are both in the hospital. Both attackers are in custody.

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.

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.

RedState will keep you updated as this is a breaking story.

Someone needs more range time.

I’m really getting sick of this nonsense.

Past time to bring out the water cannons and the puke rays.

The wierd thing is my steel or paper targets never swing shovels or drive cars at me.

It’s amazing how accuracy degrades when having to avoid being brained at the same time :D

Recovering from the leg wound.

“Doc, when I get out of this hospital will I be able to dance as the male lead in the city ballet Swan Lake?”

Doctor, smiling and chuckling a little: “Why I don’t see any reason why not.”

“That’s funny. I never even had one lesson in my life.”

Reply to DHS, not you:

>Their hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end

Why would they stop? They’ve done their math and figured out the consequences of siccing women and foreigners at us are far less than the consequences of having all they’ve already done brought to light.

IMO it would be now time to stop pretending the stunning fraud we already know about is the totality and make some good inferences about why someone would behave as the left does and what they’re protecting, and then act accordingly.

I wish we could just round the “activists” up, stick ‘em on a plane and send them to Iran. Drop them in the middle of one of their demonstrations and watch the jerks get all confused as to which side to take.

Walz and Frey were missed by the ICE officer....

The following 5 minute video of Walz' speech today is the most insane thing I've ever heard an elected official tell the public.

WALZ GOES FULL INSANE IN TELEVISED ADDRESS!

So 2 people came out of a house with a shovel and a broom and got the Venezuelan resisting arrest shot? Were they foreigners or Americans? Why would you attack armed agents with as shovel?

Is this going to create opposition to ICE? Obviously, they have to defend themselves.

Center of mass. That’s the target. Too bad he was so involved it wasn’t center of the chest.
