Reports have surfaced of a shooting involving Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the junction of East 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, according to law enforcement sources referenced by Fox News.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) informed Fox News that the individual in question was equipped with a firearm and two magazines.
On Saturday, January 24, 2026, an incident involving ICE resulted in gunfire in South Minneapolis. Allegedly, the suspect carried a weapon and two magazines, as noted by the DHS.
In a statement on X, the city of Minneapolis expressed awareness of another federal law enforcement-related shooting at 26th Street W and Nicollet Avenue. City officials are in the process of confirming further details and have urged the public to stay composed and steer clear of the immediate vicinity.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz criticized the incident, urging the Trump administration to cease its operations within the 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.”
