Four law enforcement sources tell me there was another ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis this evening. I was told ICE was in contact with a target who then allegedly attacked a police officer with a shovel or brandished a shovel, shots were fired and the suspect ran toward a house. No information yet on whether anyone was actually shot – just that shots were fired.
Melugin later confirmed that the man had been shot, was Venezuelan and was in stable condition.
He reported that the activists had already gathered. Because of course.

They need to step in immediately, even before all the facts are known. It’s just sick.
The sound in the video is a little garbled.

Hopefully this doesn’t get out of hand. But you can count on the left to make the case for all it’s worth. As Fox News noted, Gov. Tim Walz is lying about ICE and urging activists to continue.
Looks like they’re sending officers there to secure the place.
Update: More from Melugin:
BREAKING: DHS statement to @FoxNews
At 6:50 p.m. CT, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis on an illegal alien from Venezuela who had been released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022.
In an attempt to escape arrest, the individual fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot.
The law enforcement officer caught up with the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault him. While the subject and law enforcement were fighting on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.
As the officer was ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the initial subject broke away and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom handle.
Fearing for his life and safety while being ambushed by three individuals, the police officer fired defensive shots in defense of his life. The first subject was hit in the leg.
The three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside.
Both the attacked officer and the subject are in the hospital. The two attackers are in police custody.
This attack on another courageous member of law enforcement occurred as Minnesota’s top leaders, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey, actively encourage organized resistance against ICE and federal law enforcement agents.
Their hate speech and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must stop. Federal law enforcement officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults on them as they risk their lives to arrest criminals and lawbreakers.
