ICE killing on sidewalk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On January 26, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents repeatedly and fatally shot an adult male held to the ground by federal agents. Officials claim the suspect had a gun.
The incident was the third shooting by ICE agents in January, 2026 after the killing of Renée Good and the Portland shooting. The incident followed a series of anti-ICE protests that occurred throughout the month.
Background
Prior to January 24, 2026, thousands protested Trump's immigration crackdown[1] after two other shootings so far in the month: the killing of Renée Good and the Portland shooting.[1]
Shooting details
On January 24, 2026, 17 days after the killing of Renée Good, ICE agents shot and killed an adult male held down by federal agents on the sidewalk in Hennepin County.[1][2] The Department of Homeland Security stated that the man had a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun and that "officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted."[3] The New York Times characterized the shooting as an apparent gunshot to the head, followed by a series of additional shots after the first.[1] The person who was shot died after the incident.[1][4]
Aftermath
Protests
Protesters stayed blowing whistles, demanding that police arrest federal agents.[1] In response, law enforcement deployed tear gas and flash bangs on the crowd.[1] One protester, who dropped his glasses on the ground after the shooting, was pepper-sprayed by an agent in the face.[1] Some protesters set dumpsters on fire following the shooting.[3] Police have arrested at least two protesters so far who attempted to cross the police tape.[3]
Official statements
After the shooting, Mary Moriarty, the elected prosecutor, said the scene must be secured so that local law enforcement can conduct an investigation, which they were not allowed to do after the killing of Renée Good.[1] ICE tried to order local police to leave the scene, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told them to stay and preserve the scene.[3]
On January 24, 2026, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) posted on social media saying he had spoken to the White House about the shooting, calling it "sickening," saying President Trump "must end this operation," and adding "Minnesota has had it."[1]
