New Shooting Incident by ICE Agent in Minneapolis: Venezuelan Immigrant Injured

A new incident of violence involving a shooting by an ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agent occurred in Minneapolis, resulting in the injury of a Venezuelan immigrant. The incident took place during a traffic stop, when the Venezuelan national fled and attacked the agent with a broom and a snow shovel. The actions of ICE agents in Minnesota have sparked strong reactions and protests, with residents alleging abusive behavior and violence. The US Department of Homeland Security accused the mayor and governor of Minnesota of “hate speech” encouraging resistance against ICE, claims they rejected. The incident comes days after the fatal shooting of an American citizen by an ICE agent in the same city.
