Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has again slammed ICE for “creating chaos” in his city but also warned citizens against “taking the bait.”

“For anyone who is taking the bait tonight: stop,” he said at a press conference last night.

“It is not helpful. Go home. We cannot counter Donald Trump’s chaos with our own chaos. You are not helping the undocumented immigrants in our city, you are not helping the people who call this place home.”

He pointedly called the situation “unsustainable” and again renewed his call for ICE to withdraw.

Here’s the latest from Mayor Frey on X:

The Department of Homeland Security has said its agents were conducting a traffic stop involving “an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022” when last night’s events played out.

“In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car,” it said.

“The subject then fled on foot.”

The department then claims that, after the agent caught up with the man, he “began to resist and violently assault the officer.”

Two other people then came out of a nearby apartment and “also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.”

“Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life,” the DHS says.

“The initial subject was hit in the leg,” before the trio barricaded themselves in the apartment, only to be subsequently detained.

Here’s the video of the latest clash in the Minnesota city last night.

A second shooting involving a federal agent has taken place in Minneapolis, after authorities say a Venezuelan immigrant tried to flee a targeted traffic stop.

The man was shot in the leg during a struggle with the agent and two other people, according to the Department of Homeland Security, who said the officer fired the weapon after “fearing for his life and safety.”

The agent was allegedly beaten with “a snow shovel and broom handle” by two people who came to the assistance of the man.

It comes one week after the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, also in Minneapolis, which has since sparked outrage from politicians and protests across the country.

Mike Bedigan has this report.

Good morning and welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of the anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis and President Donald Trump’s administration.

One week on from the killing of mother-of-three Renee Nicole Good on a residential street, another person was shot by a federal immigration officer, this time wounding him in the leg. He is reportedly in a stable condition in hospital.
