A shooting involving Border Patrol agents has reportedly occurred in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the corner of East 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, according to law enforcement sources cited by Fox News.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed to Fox News that the individual involved was carrying a firearm along with two magazines.
On Saturday, January 24, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was reportedly part of a shooting incident in South Minneapolis. The suspect was said to be armed with a gun and two magazines, according to DHS.
“We are aware of reports regarding another shooting involving federal law enforcement at the location of 26th Street West and Nicollet Avenue. We are currently verifying additional details. We urge the public to stay calm and steer clear of the immediate vicinity,” the city of Minneapolis announced on their X account.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz condemned the shooting and called on the Trump administration to end its operation in his state.
“I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening,” Walz wrote on X. “The president must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”

Tensions between federal immigration enforcement and protesters in Minnesota have been high since the fatal Jan. 7 shooting of Renee Nicole Good. Her death sparked a wave of protests nationwide and raised questions about the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, as well as other Minnesota officials, have been highly critical of how federal immigration forces have handled the operation. Following the shooting of Good, Frey told ICE to “get the f–k out of Minneapolis.”
