A Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis fatally shot a 51-year-old man, an incident that was captured on video.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the individual was carrying two magazines, and federal officials have since retrieved the firearm.

The shooting unfolded around 9 a.m. on Saturday morning near Glam Doll Donuts at the intersection of 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue. The encounter appeared to involve a struggle with several agents.

Footage reveals agents bringing the man to the ground before one of them discharges multiple rounds into his chest, causing the agents to disperse.

This incident is the third involving gunfire by federal officers in Minneapolis in recent weeks. It follows the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE officer on January 7 and another federal agent wounding a man shortly thereafter.

Authorities have yet to disclose information regarding the man’s identity or the circumstances leading up to the shooting. However, a hospital document obtained by The Associated Press confirms the victim’s age as 51.

DHS shared a photo of the gun which was seen lying on the passenger seat of a car. 

Minneapolis city officials have since addressed the emerging news on X, stating they ‘are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area.’

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told the Daily Mail that the suspect was armed with two magazines, and that the gun has since been recovered by federal authorities 

The shooting occurred during what appeared to be a struggle involving multiple agents just after 9am Saturday morning near Glam Doll Donuts at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue

‘We are working to confirm additional details,’ the department’s post read. ‘We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area.’ 

DHS has since shared its account of the shooting on X, saying the deadly incident began as a ‘targeted operation against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault.’ 

‘An individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun,’ the department wrote. ‘The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted.’

‘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 statement added.

‘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.’

DHS also wrote that ‘about 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement,’ leading to the deployment of crowd-control measures.

The city’s police department and officials with the Minnesota State Patrol are on scene and working to keep hundreds of observers and protesters separated from the federal agents.

As crowds continue to gather, the Minnesota State Patrol declared an ‘unlawful assembly,’ in the vicinity of the fatal shooting, according to CBS News.

Protesters are blocking streets with dumpsters and restaurant furniture while shouting ‘ICE go home!’ at agents, with the area still secured with police tape, according to the Star Tribune.

At least two flash-bangs have gone off as agents only continue to push back protesters with tear gas, with the fumes still lingering in the air, the outlet reported. 

Protesters are remaining on the scene, screaming behind barriers, banging on dumpsters and running backwards whenever officials deploy tear gas. 

Meanwhile, residents are shouting at agents, calling them ‘Nazis’ and insisting that all immigrants are welcome, while others are frantically trying to move their parked cars out of the area. 

One protestor, who the New York Times said either dropped or threw his sunglasses, was met with pepper-spray to the face. 

Several witnesses were transported to the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building as ICE agents tried to order local police to leave the scene, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused. 

O’Hara has instructed his officers to preserve the scene, with Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty stating that her office is working alongside the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) to coordinate a state response.

Officials have not yet provided any details on the man’s identity or what led up to the shooting

‘The scene must be secured by local law enforcement for the collection and preservation of evidence,’ Moriarty said, according to the Tribune.

‘We expect the federal government to allow the BCA to process the scene,’ she added.

Moriarty has also launched a secure portal for people to submit video and other evidence from the scene of Saturday’s shooting. 

‘This is not OK for our city,’ Joy, a 55-year-old resident at the scene told CBS News. ‘This is when we show our resolve as a city because we’re better than this. We are under attack by this administration right now and this is not OK. It’s just not.’

Governor Tim Walz responded on X with a blistering demand directed at President Donald Trump. 

‘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.

‘The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota,’ he added. ‘Now.’ 

In another statement to X, Senator Amy Klobuchar wrote: ‘There has been another shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis and I am working to get more information.’

‘To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW,’ she added.

Minnesota Representative IIhan Omar shared the video to X and wrote that it appears to be ‘an execution by immigration enforcement.’

‘I am absolutely heartbroken, horrified, and appalled that federal agents murdered another member of our community. It is beyond shameful these federal agents are targeting our residents instead of protecting them,’ she wrote.

Omar claimed that the incident ‘isn’t isolated or accidental,’ and said that the Trump administration is ‘trying to beat us into submission rather than protect us.’ 

This administration cannot continue violating constitutional rights under the guise of immigration enforcement. ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately,’ the rep wrote.

‘Their presence is terrorizing our communities, violating rights, and taking lives with zero accountability,’ she added.

‘Minnesota was once a place of refuge, and Trump has turned it into a war zone where unchecked federal forces murder our neighbors.’

Saturday’s fatal shooting comes just a week after an ICE agent, who DHS said feared for his life, fired a ‘defensive shot’ at illegal migrant Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in Minneapolis, striking him in the leg. 

Sosa-Celis was taken into custody after a targeted traffic stop turned violent, according to DHS.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents tried to pull him over, but Sosa-Celis allegedly sped off, crashed into a parked car and then fled on foot. 

A pursuit ensued and agents tried to detain him, but he resisted arrest and violently assaulted an officer, the Trump administration said. A struggle broke out, bringing both Sosa-Celis and the officer to the ground.

That’s when Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledzema allegedly came out of a nearby apartment and began to attack the agent with a snow shovel and broom handle.

Sosa-Celis managed to escape while the other suspects carried out their attack. He then picked up the shovel or broom and started to strike the officer. 

The three suspects, all Venezuelan nationals who entered the US under the Biden administration, ran back inside and barricaded themselves in the apartment. They were later arrested by ICE officials and charged with attempted murder.

The Daily Mail has reached out to DHS and the Minneapolis Police Department for comment.
