A federal agent shot and injured an immigrant in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening, federal officials said, an incident that touched off clashes between protesters and law enforcement and that came just one week after an immigration agent killed a woman in the city.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement that federal agents were trying to arrest a man from Venezuela who was in the country illegally. She claimed that he fled from agents.

When the officer caught up to him, Ms. McLaughlin said he “began to resist and violently assault the officer,” and that two people came out of a nearby building and joined in attacking the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.

when nobody believes a word the regime's lawyers and authorities say anymore without video to confirm it.

I see applegrove realizes the danger to DU-folks' refusal to accept facts, body and/or dash cam video.

The illegal and two other people attacked the ICE officer. It makes me sad that only one of them was shot.

A lot of times when you attack someone, regardless of affiliation, with a shovel you're take a chance on getting lead poisoning.

All three are illegals from Venezuela.
