DHS Says ICE Officer Shot Venezuelan Man in Leg During North Minneapolis Operation Metro Surge Arrest After Alleged Shovel and Broom Attack

DHS said an ICE officer shot a Venezuelan man in the leg during a north Minneapolis arrest tied to Operation Metro Surge after authorities allege the man and others ambushed officers with a snow shovel and a broom handle following a traffic stop, crash and foot chase; the wound occurred near North 6th Street and North 24th Avenue on Jan. 14 and an officer was reported injured. The incident drew quick protests and confrontations—with crowds, fireworks and use of chemical irritants and flash‑bangs—and comes amid a large federal law‑enforcement surge and heightened scrutiny after a recent fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

📌 Key Facts

  • On Jan. 14, during DHS’s 'Operation Metro Surge' in Minneapolis (part of a deployment of over 2,000 federal agents), an ICE officer shot and wounded a Venezuelan man in the leg after officials said the officer was 'ambushed' by three people who wielded a snow shovel and a broom handle during an arrest; DHS says the man fled in a vehicle, crashed, then fled on foot and resisted before being shot.
  • The Jan. 14 shooting came less than a week after an ICE officer fatally shot 37‑year‑old Renee Good in Minneapolis; DHS characterized that earlier killing as an instance of a motorist 'weaponizing' her vehicle, but bystander video, witness accounts and a New York Times multi‑angle analysis raised doubts about the self‑defense claim and prompted sharp criticisms from Mayor Jacob Frey, Rep. Ilhan Omar and community advocates.
  • Both the Minneapolis leg‑wounding and the earlier fatal Minneapolis shooting triggered immediate local protests — crowds converged on scenes, law enforcement used flash‑bangs and chemical irritants to disperse demonstrators, fires/crackers and makeshift barricades appeared, and city crews later removed debris while leaving community memorials intact.
  • The Minneapolis incidents and a near‑concurrent Portland shooting by federal agents (where a Border Patrol agent shot a Venezuelan man and woman) spawned nationwide mobilization under the 'ICE Out for Good' banner, with organizers and groups (including Indivisible, ACLU, Voto Latino and others) scheduling hundreds to more than 1,000 vigils and protests in a matter of days.
  • Federal authorities say the Portland occupants — identified as Luis David Nino‑Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano‑Contreras — have ties to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua; Nino‑Moncada has been federally charged with aggravated assault on a federal officer and damaging federal property and has pleaded not guilty.
  • Investigators have stated there is no surveillance or body‑camera footage available of the Portland Border Patrol shooting and that none of the six Border Patrol agents on scene had body cameras recording at the time, even as DOJ released photos showing significant damage to a Border Patrol vehicle.
  • Reporting and analysis place these episodes in a wider pattern: Trump‑era immigration enforcement units have fired at vehicles at least 10 times across multiple states since fall 2024/early 2025, resulting in at least two deaths; DOJ policy limits when agents may shoot at vehicles to situations where occupants use the vehicle or other means to present deadly force or an imminent deadly threat.
  • State and federal officials have engaged publicly — Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis leaders held briefings and criticized the federal surge (Walz urged residents to film ICE activity), while DHS and Justice officials defended agents and vowed to pursue charges where warranted — and multiple investigations are ongoing by the FBI, state prosecutors and federal authorities, with civil‑rights and community groups calling for accountability.

📊 Relevant Data

U.S. sanctions on Venezuela have contributed to a decline in oil revenues and economic conditions, which some analyses link to increased emigration, with one 2025 study estimating that lifting all sanctions could reduce Venezuelan emigration to less than 20,000 persons over the next five years.

Sanctions and Venezuelan Migration — Oil for Venezuela

Venezuelan nationals accounted for 8% of ICE arrests under the Trump administration in 2025, with arrests increasing 361% from 2024, ranking them fourth among nationalities despite Venezuelans comprising about 1-1.2 million of the U.S. immigrant population (approximately 0.3% of total U.S. population).

LATINO ICE ARRESTS SURGE UNDER TRUMP — UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs

North Minneapolis, the site of the shooting, has seen demographic shifts with the Hispanic/Latino population in the broader Minneapolis area increasing from 10.5% in 2010 to around 9.8% in 2020, amid overall metro population growth and increasing diversity in Minnesota, where Latino population growth is projected among the largest by 2030.

Demographics of Minneapolis — Wikipedia

DHS reported over 1,150% increase in assaults on ICE officers in 2025 compared to prior periods, but independent analysis shows a 74% jump in assaults on all police officers nationwide in the last quarter, suggesting broader trends in violence against law enforcement.

🔬 Explanations (3)

Deeper context and explanatory frameworks for understanding this story

Phenomenon: Ramping up of ICE immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota and other areas

Explanation: The Trump administration has expanded ICE operations as a policy response to perceived increases in unauthorized border crossings and to fulfill campaign promises on immigration control, involving shifts in enforcement priorities and increased funding to target public safety and national security concerns

Evidence: Analysis shows a dramatic plunge in unauthorized migration at the U.S.-Mexico border during fiscal year 2025, prompting the administration to intensify interior enforcement through resource allocation and priority shifts, resulting in operations like the one in Minnesota involving 2,000 agents

Alternative view: Economic pressures from labor shortages and inflation concerns, as replacing arrested immigrants could raise costs, potentially undermining anti-inflation efforts

💡 This explanation highlights policy-driven motivations tied to border data, complicating the story's implicit narrative of chaotic federal overreach by connecting it to broader immigration trends and administrative strategies

Phenomenon: Shootings by ICE agents during enforcement operations, including the Minneapolis incident

Explanation: ICE training materials emphasize quick and decisive use of deadly force with minimal focus on de-escalation, leading to reckless shootings often without subsequent arrests or prosecutions

Evidence: Exclusive review of ICE training documents reveals encouragement of immediate deadly force without warning shots and little emphasis on de-escalation techniques, correlating with over half of identified shootings resulting in no arrests

Alternative view: Increased assaults on ICE agents, with claims of up to 500% rise, prompting more aggressive responses, though data supporting these claims is questioned by investigative reports

💡 This shifts focus from isolated incidents to systemic training deficiencies, challenging the coverage's portrayal of shootings as mere byproducts of operations by revealing institutional factors that enable escalation

Phenomenon: Local opposition and demands for ICE to leave Minneapolis

Explanation: Organized resistance stems from cultural and demographic factors, including the city's large Somali immigrant community facing targeted rhetoric and fears of raids, amplified by historical sanctuary city policies and community organizing against federal enforcement

Evidence: Reports document protests and confrontations in response to anti-Somali rhetoric from Trump, with midwestern communities like Minneapolis navigating diversity challenges and resisting raids through actions like snowball-throwing and demands for ICE withdrawal

💡 This explanation adds context of ethnic tensions and community demographics, complicating the story's depiction of local chaos by linking opposition to deeper cultural shifts and historical immigrant integration efforts in the area
