ICE operations continue in Minneapolis with 17 arrests last week
(ABC 6 News) – Federal agents have increased their presence in Minnesota, focusing on the Twin Cities.
Augsburg University confirmed that a student was detained by immigration officers on campus over the weekend. This development comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported making 17 arrests in Minneapolis last week.
ICE said they are specifically targeting undocumented immigrants who have previously been convicted of a crime in the United States.
Federal agents shoot man in the leg in Minneapolis sparking protests
Federal agents were conducting a “targeted” traffic stop when the Venezuelan national attempted to flee the scene, according to DHS.
Tensions over Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions continued to surge in Minneapolis after a federal officer shot a person in the leg on Jan. 14, photos and videos from the city showed.
A man, whom the Department of Homeland Security said is a Venezuelan national living in the United States without authorization, was shot in the leg by a federal officer, a week after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good.
In the latest incident, DHS said the man drove away during a “targeted traffic stop” and crashed into a parked vehicle before taking off on foot around 6:50 p.m. local time. After one of the federal officers attempted to apprehend the man, two other people arrived from a nearby apartment, and all three started attacking the officer, DHS claimed.
After Good’s death, protests erupted in Minneapolis amid the immigration enforcement surge ordered by President Donald Trump.
Photos and videos from the city after the latest shooting showed troves of protesters and federal officers alike taking to the streets as tear gas clouded the air.

ICE officer shoot man in leg in north Minneapolis after shovel attack, officials say
A shooting occurred Wednesday night in north Minneapolis after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were attacked by men with shovels during an arrest operation amid Operation Metro Surge, three U.S. officials told CBS News.
One of the men, a Venezuelan migrant, was shot in the leg but is expected to be OK, two of the officials told CBS News.
According to law enforcement officials briefed on the incident, the shooting occurred around 7 p.m. during a targeted ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations action near North Sixth Street and North 24th Avenue.
Officials say one man armed with a shovel — described as an “illegal alien” from Venezuela and the primary target of the operation — assaulted an ICE officer, striking the officer with the shovel and attempting to hit the agent’s head. An ICE ERO agent then opened fire, striking the man in the leg.
After being shot, the man fled into a residence. Authorities later determined the house contained three additional targets. All four individuals barricaded themselves inside the home.
Due to the barricade situation, additional agents were called to the scene. Officers breached the house with the assistance of an ICE specialized tactical team. Officials believe all individuals inside the home were taken into custody.
Both the ICE officer who was struck and the man who was shot were transported to the hospital. The man who was shot is expected to be OK. The officer’s condition and the nature of their injuries have yet to be confirmed.
A large crowd has formed at the scene, with fireworks reportedly heard nearby.
The shooting comes exactly one week after ICE officer Jonathan Ross fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good in south Minneapolis.
This is a developing story and it will be updated.

Minneapolis live updates: ICE protesters face tear gas as Trump administration promises tough response
From high school students to elected officials, residents in Minnesota are pushing back against the growing deployment of federal immigration officers in their neighborhoods, leading to days of confrontations and protests.
Resident Neph Sudduth stopped to choke back tears as she witnessed immigration officers roaming around her neighborhood, just a few blocks from the site where an ICE officer fatally shot Renee Nicole Good last week, and clashing with protesters.
“They will hurt you for real! They will hurt you for real!” she shouted at anti-ICE demonstrators, urging them to move away from the officers’ vehicles. Just then, an immigration officer rolled down his window, extended his arm and sprayed a protester point-blank in the face with a chemical agent.
