A federal agent shot and injured a man while trying to make an arrest during an immigration operation in Minneapolis on Wednesday, in an incident that comes amidst protests in the city just a week after an immigration agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good.
In an X post, the Department of Homeland Security claimed the man was an undocumented Venezuelan migrant, and an agent fired a “defensive shot” that struck the person in the leg.
The DHS said the incident occurred during a “targeted traffic stop” and alleged that the person attempted to evade arrest by first fleeing the scene in his car and then on foot.
