News has emerged of yet another incident involving a shooting by ICE agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin provided an update on the situation.

Melugin later verified that the individual who was shot is of Venezuelan origin and is currently in stable condition.

Reports also indicated that activists began assembling at the scene swiftly. This is a predictable occurrence.

These groups often intervene rapidly, frequently before the full details are available, which can be quite unsettling.

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.

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.
