Shovel-Wielding Man Shot in Leg by ICE After Assaulting Federal Officer, Protests Ensue

According to a tweet from FBI Director Kash Patel, one of the firearms stolen from an FBI vehicle has been recovered.

"There will be more arrests," Patel added in a post on X. "Again: any individual who attacks law enforcement or vandalizes federal property paid for by hardworking taxpayers will be found and arrested."

Bondi, along with FBI Director Kash Patel, said the individual has a known violent criminal history.

The individual was a known member of the Latin Kings gang.

Per U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, ATF agents and partners from the Justice Department arrested a man who allegedly stole body armor and weaponry from the FBI. The news comes the same day the FBI announced a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the recovery of stolen government property and arrests of individuals responsible.

The FBI announced a reward of up to $100,000 for information related to Wednesday night’s vandalism and theft of government property.

The three men arrested for ambushing an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday have been identified as undocumented immigrants from Venezuela. Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledzema were all in the country illegally, DHS said, and are now in the custody of ICE. Sosa-Celis was identified as the man shot in the leg by an agent after allegedly assaulting him with a "shovel or broomstick." Agents were attempting to apprehend him during a traffic stop when he tried to flee and crashed his car into another car.

Trump has warned he plans to invoke the Insurrection Act and send in the military and National Guard if the state does not stop protesters from assaulting ICE officers.

A statement from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) announced an independent investigation by the agency into the use of force by a federal officer.

Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey expressed that protestors who are not demonstrating peacefully should halt and go home.

Officials also said that the nearby protest has become an unlawful assembly, with protesters throwing fireworks, ice rocks, and other projectiles at officers.

City officials said that at least one person assaulted a federal officer. There was a broom and snow shovel left on the scene.

In an update, Minneapolis city officials said that reports of a second person shot turned out to not be true.

Citizen user video shows a crowd gathering in the area.

There are reports of a crowd growing near the scene of the shooting, with additional reports of tear gas being deployed.

A 911 caller has reported an infant unresponsive after difficulty breathing in a residence. This is unconfirmed.

EMS is being dispatched for multiple calls reporting people exposed to tear gas with difficulty breathing near the shooting scene.

The DHS said the attacked officer and subject are both in the hospital, while the other two attackers are in custody.

"Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals," the officer opened fire and hit the initial subject in the leg. The trio then ran back into the home and barricaded themselves inside.

During the struggle, two people then attacked the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. As the officer was being attacked, the original individual got loose and began hitting the officer with a shovel or broomstick.

The officer reached the subject on foot and tried to arrest him, but he "began to resist and violently assault the officer."

Per a statement from the DHS, federal agents were conducting a "targeted traffic stop" of an illegal immigrant from Venezuela at 6:50 p.m. CT. The subject then fled in his car and crashed into a park vehicle nearby, proceeding to flee on foot, officials say.

With additional help from more agents, the house was breached and all of the individuals were detained.

The man fled into a home afterwards with three other "targets" who barricaded themselves inside.

The shooting occurred during an ICE operation, per a report from CBS News citing officials. A man armed with a shovel allegedly struck an ICE officer. An agent then fired shots, hitting him in the leg.

Authorities said the incident occurred during a federal immigration enforcement operation known as Operation Metro Surge.

Officials said the man shot in the leg is a Venezuelan national and is expected to recover from his injuries.

Per a post on X from Bill Melugin, Congressional Correspondent for Fox News, ICE agents reportedly made contact with a "target" who then allegedly wielded a shovel and may have assaulted an officer. Shots were then fired, leading to the individual being shot, who is reportedly in custody and in stable condition. This is unconfirmed.

Reports from authorities say protesters were in the area blowing whistles, and family members were reportedly unwilling to come out or cooperate as police activity continued.

A statement from Minneapolis city officials say there are reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement in North Minneapolis. It's unclear if this incident is the shooting in question.

Authorities state a man with a gunshot wound to the right thigh was transported to a hospital for further treatment. His injuries are not life-threatening.
