An officer with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reportedly discharged a firearm after allegedly being assaulted with a shovel in Minneapolis.

This incident has unfolded amidst heightened tensions in Minnesota, following the recent death of Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three, during ongoing ICE activities last week.

Preliminary information indicates that the individual was shot in the leg. The person is currently in stable condition and has been taken into custody.

“We are aware of reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement in North Minneapolis,” stated the City of Minneapolis in a message posted on X on Wednesday.

“We are working to confirm additional details,” the statement continued.

Witnesses reported seeing at least one ambulance departing the scene as a crowd gathered. Local law enforcement joined federal agents in response to the situation.

More than 2,000 ICE agents have descended on the streets of Minneapolis amid concerns about rampant fraud within the local Somali community, as the Trump administration seeks to ramp up deportation efforts. 

Tensions reached fever pitch after Good’s death last week, with classes canceled at public schools in the region as protesters took to the streets to challenge the administration and demand the removal of immigration authorities.

At least 60 agitators have been charged with impeding or assaulting immigration authorities in Minnesota in the last five days, ICE official Marcos Charles told Fox. 

‘We will be arresting anybody that interferes or impedes in any of these enforcement actions,’ Charles said. ‘We’ve already arrested 60… that have got in our way, impeded us or assaulted an officer.’

Good, a 37-year-old mother-of-three, was shot three times in the face by ICE agent Jonathan Ross last week after she ignored demands to get out of her car, reversed it and tried to drive off during a protest. 

Witnesses said Good and her wife, Rebecca, were acting as legal observers and filming the protest.  

Renee was seen in surveillance footage apparently blocking the road with her SUV for four minutes before she was killed.

Almost immediately after the shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described Good’s actions as ‘an act of domestic terrorism’ as she defended Ross as an experienced law enforcement professional who followed his training.

She claimed he shot Good after he believed she was trying to run him or other agents over with her vehicle.

Volatile anti-ICE protests erupted from New York to Texas to California in the wake of Good’s death and the Trump administration’s defense of the shooter, triggering arrests and mounting fears of nationwide unrest.

In Austin, Texas, at least five protesters were arrested at the weekend, while hundreds of demonstrators flooded downtown Los Angeles on Saturday night, prompting police to issue dispersal orders and form skirmish lines outside federal facilities.

In Minneapolis, where Good was killed, thousands marched from Powderhorn Park to Lake Street, chanting her name through immigrant neighborhoods. 

Mayor Jacob Frey said most protests had remained peaceful although 29 were arrested on Friday night for vandalizing property.
