The situation in Minneapolis continues to escalate… This morning, while authorities were trying to detain a criminal illegal alien, an individual attempted to pull a handgun on immigration authorities. Border Patrol tried to disarm him, but when that didn’t work, they were forced to use lethal force. Acting in self-defense, an officer ended up firing at the man. The suspect, whose name has not been released, was shot and died immediately. Here’s some footage from the scene: BREAKING – It can now be confirmed the individual shot and killed by CBP in Minneapolis attempted to draw a weapon on agents before they were forced to deploy lethal force.

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. Of course, despite the facts, Democrats are already using this as an opportunity to incite even more violence against federal agents. For instance, Gov. Tim Walz blamed the officers for the “horrific shooting” and called for President Trump to pull all federal agents out of Minnesota. I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now. — Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWalz) January 24, 2026 Sen. Amy Klobuchar had a similar message: There has been another shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis and I am working to get more information. I will update as soon as possible. To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW. — Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) January 24, 2026 Spurred on by the rhetoric of their Democrat leaders, leftists are rioting again in Minneapolis after the shooting. Take a look: BREAKING: Federal agents are using crowd-control munitions on protesters in Minneapolis after an armed illegal alien was shot and killed. This is the result of Democratic officials who have been gaslighting their base for months. pic.twitter.com/kPw6SyPsgZ — I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) January 24, 2026 According to Fox 9, they’re planning a rally for the man who tried to shoot at federal officers this afternoon: A vigil and rally are being organized at the scene of Saturday’s shooting. It’s scheduled for 1 p.m at East 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue South. Why is it so hard for these people to understand that you simply do not try to kill law enforcement? Exactly this: Why is this so hard to understand?? Do not run ICE over with your vehicle. And do not pull a weapon on ICE. All of this could have been avoided but Tim Walz and Jacob Frey have painted targets on the backs of ICE agents. We need the Insurrection Act now!! pic.twitter.com/RIEt3H75gQ — TONY (@TONYxTWO) January 24, 2026 We’ll continue to bring you any further updates as they come in.
