President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota to stop far-left protests and attacks against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis.

This morning’s warning came about 13 hours after a Venezuelan illegal alien resisted arrest and attacked an ICE agent. Two other goons also attacked the agent and attempted to assist the illegal’s escape.

The usual protests followed, with far-left, hate-ICE Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey again calling for ICE to depart the city. The hate-Trump New York Times falsely claimed that the agent shot an “immigrant.”

The Shooting, False Headline

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) detailed the shooting on X.

At about 6:50 p.m. Central time on Wednesday, “federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022,” DHS reported.

The agency told Fox News’ Bill Melugin that the officer worked for ICE.

The illegal alien raced away in his car, “crashed into a parked car … then fled on foot,” DHS continued:

The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.

As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick.

Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg.

All three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside.

The attacked officer and subject are both in the hospital. Both attackers are in custody.

The Times published this “despicably misleading headline,” as DHS called it: “Federal Agent Shoots Immigrant in Minneapolis, Homeland Security Says: The agent shot an immigrant from Venezuela in the leg while trying to arrest him. The shooting comes a week after an ICE agent fatally shot a woman in the city.”
