ICE agents were involved in another shooting in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening as Governor Walz claimed federal agents are “going door-to-door ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live.”
According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, ICE agents shot a shovel-wielding Venezuelan after he tried to assault federal law enforcement officers.
A Venezuelan teen was shot in the leg.
“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,” Bill Melugin said.
