Federal officer shoots man in leg after 'ambush' in Minneapolis, DHS says

A federal officer shot a Venezuelan man this evening in Minneapolis after what was described as an “ambush," the Department of Homeland Security said.

The officer had been conducting a targeted traffic stop at 6:50 p.m. local time when the man left in a vehicle, which crashed into a parked car, and then fled on foot, the department said in a statement.

As the officer pursued the man, who the department said was in the country illegally, he assaulted the officer, according to the statement.

During that struggle, two people came out of an apartment and attacked the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle, according to the statement.

The man got loose and also began attacking the officer with a shovel or broom stick, the department said.

“Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life,” the department said, adding that the man officers had been chasing was shot in the leg.

All three men barricaded themselves in the apartment but were taken into custody, according to the statement.

Both the man who was shot and the officer were hospitalized, the department said. Additional details about the incident were not immediately available.

What we know

After an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis last week, more than 2,000 federal agents have been deployed to the city.

Good’s family thanked the public for their support, remembering Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, as a “beautiful light” who “brought joy to anyone she met.”

The Department of Homeland Security has called the operation in Minnesota its biggest to date, with more than 2,400 people having been arrested since it began Nov. 29.

Federal agents have used tear gas and pepper spray in confrontations with residents and protesters as pushback continues to grow in the days following Good's death.

Six people with the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota have resigned over concerns about the direction of the investigation into Good’s death, according to a source familiar with the resignations.

Officials in Minnesota sued the federal government Monday to halt the deployment of thousands of immigration agents to the state.

Gov. Walz tells people to record 'atrocities' against Minnesotans

[Tim Stelloh

](https://www.nbcnews.com/author/tim-stelloh-ncpn94141)

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz encouraged people tonight to help create a record of the “atrocities” against Minnesotans by recording immigration agents.

“You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct these activities,” he said in a brief address. “Help us create a database of atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

Walz to Trump, Noem: 'End this occupation' as ICE raids continue

05:56

Walz cited a social media post in which Trump told Minnesotans not to fear because “THE DAY OF RECONKING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING,” and he pleaded with Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to “end this occupation.”

“You’ve done enough,” he said.

Trump threatens funding for states over sanctuary cities as clashes intensify in Minneapolis

Reuters

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would cut off federal funding next month for any state that includes sanctuary cities, expanding his attacks on mostly Democratic-run cities following days of clashes in Minneapolis.

Trump’s vow, which he made on social media, repeated comments he first made during a speech in Detroit on Tuesday, when he said he would halt payments starting on February 1 to any state that had sanctuary cities, which limit local authorities’ cooperation with federal immigration officers.

Any such effort would undoubtedly be challenged in court. A federal judge in August blocked a previous attempt to freeze funding for more than 30 sanctuary jurisdictions unless they cooperated with his immigration crackdown.

Trump’s declaration came amid escalating tensions in Minneapolis, a week after a U.S. immigration officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good, a U.S. citizen, in her car.

Tensions grow as crowd gathers after reported shooting in Minneapolis

Tim Stelloh

An angry crowd gathered tonight in a residential area where federal officers were present and temporarily blocking a street.

People blew whistles, yelled expletives and threw snowballs at masked officers, video captured by NBC affiliate KARE of Minneapolis showed.

At one point, the officers could be seen using flash bangs and chemical irritants on the protesters, according to the KARE reporter on the scene, and moving a perimeter closer to multiple law enforcement vehicles that had their lights activated.

A bruise is technically internal bleeding

And ICE would absolutely get hospital treatment for it even if only for the optics.

Internal bleeding caused by forcing too much boot in his gullet at once
