A federal immigration operation in Minneapolis turned deadly at 9:05 am when officers shot a man, said the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DHS claimed the man approached Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm handgun and resisted disarmament. An agent fired shots fearing for his life and others. Medics tried to save the man, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Political commentator Brian Krassenstein posted a detailed video on X claiming, "I will show you irrefutable evidence that Border Patrol just k*lled an unarmed man in Minneapolis." He said the video shows an agent taking the gun from the man before any shots were fired. DHS alleged the suspect had no ID and intended "to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement." Around 200 people later gathered, obstructed officers, and some assaulted law enforcement, said DHS. Witnesses and social media clips contradict the official version, showing officers wrestling the man down and possibly taking the gun away first. One user wrote, "This officer very clearly succeeded in disarming the suspect and walked away with the firearm you just pictured prior to the first shots." Another said, "We can all watch the video of an ICE agent murdering a bystander with our own eyes." Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed local police were not involved. He identified the man as a 37-year-old white resident with a legal gun permit and no significant criminal record. The Border Patrol Union defended the officers, saying, "When a supposed ‘peaceful’ protester brings a weapon such as a loaded handgun and brandishes it, there are going to severe consequences and repercussions." The union blamed media and political rhetoric for rising tensions. New York lawmaker Zohran Mamdani said, "ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE." This shooting is the third in three weeks involving immigration officers in Minneapolis. It comes amid ongoing protests after another ICE-related death earlier this month. Thousands marched again on Friday, demanding federal agents leave the city.
