Federal Agents Fatally Shoot Man in Minneapolis Amid Immigration Crackdown
A man was shot and killed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, sparking protests and calls for federal agents to leave the state.
On January 24, 2026, a man was fatally shot by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that the individual was armed with a handgun and two magazines.
The incident occurred near the intersection of 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue. Following the shooting, hundreds of protesters gathered at the scene, demanding the removal of federal agents from the city. Law enforcement responded with tear gas and flash bangs to disperse the crowd.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz condemned the federal operation, calling the incident "sickening" and urging President Trump to end the operation. He stated, "Minnesota has had it."
This shooting marks the third incident involving federal law enforcement in Minneapolis this month. On January 7, 2026, Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was fatally shot by an ICE agent, sparking nationwide protests.
The DHS has yet to provide further details on the latest incident, and the investigation is ongoing.
