MINNEAPOLIS (TDR) — A federal agent opened fire on a man in the Eat Street neighborhood of south Minneapolis on Saturday morning, marking the third shooting involving federal law enforcement in the city in less than three weeks. A Bring Me The News reporter who witnessed the incident said an agent fired multiple shots at a man outside Glam Doll Donuts at Nicollet Avenue and 26th Street at approximately 9 a.m., with the man struck apparently in his chest.

Video from the scene reveals that multiple shots were fired, with the agent believed to be just a few feet away from the man when he opened fire. The man was seen unconscious on the ground with responders performing chest compressions. His current condition remains unknown. Immediately after the reporter approached the scene, an agent was heard yelling for help and scissors to open the victim’s shirt, with agents stating they had immediately called 911 for assistance.

City Confirms Investigation Into Federal Shooting

The City of Minneapolis confirmed it is “aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street West and Nicollet Avenue.”

“We are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area,” the city said in a statement posted to social media.

As of 10 a.m., a crowd of more than 100 bystanders had gathered at the scene, with Minneapolis police officers deployed for crowd control. The shooting occurred in the popular Eat Street corridor, known for its diverse array of local restaurants and businesses.

New video uploaded to Reddit shows several federal agents struggling with a man outside Glam Doll Donuts, during which a shot is fired, followed by multiple more shots fired at the man as he lay on the ground. The video has not been independently verified by authorities.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz issued a forceful statement on social media following the shooting, saying he “just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning.”

“Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now,” Walz wrote.

The governor’s statement reflects escalating tensions between state and local officials and the Trump administration over the massive federal immigration enforcement operation in the Twin Cities. The Department of Homeland Security deployed more than 2,000 federal agents to the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area in what officials called Operation Metro Surge, the largest immigration enforcement operation ever carried out in a single city.

“American citizens are getting picked up off the street by people in masks. That’s not the way things should be conducted in any city in America. That’s not who we are, that’s not America,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said following an earlier shooting.

Third Shooting In Three Weeks

Saturday’s incident marks the third shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis since early January. On January 7, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Good, a 37-year-old American citizen and mother of three, during what federal officials described as a traffic stop in south Minneapolis.

“Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit,” Mayor Jacob Frey said of federal claims that Good was weaponizing her vehicle. “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

Good’s killing sparked nationwide protests and multiple investigations. On January 14, federal agents shot another man in the leg during what DHS described as a “targeted traffic stop” in north Minneapolis, claiming the man had attacked an officer. That incident also led to violent clashes between protesters and law enforcement.

“I’m calling for peace. Everybody has a role in achieving that peace. We’re going to try do everything we can to keep it,” Mayor Frey said following the second shooting. “But if anyone causes property damage or puts others in danger, they will be arrested.”

Legal Challenges Mount Against Federal Operation

The state of Minnesota, along with the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration arguing the widespread federal immigration operations constitute “a federal invasion of the Twin Cities.”

The lawsuit alleges that President Donald Trump targeted Minnesota for political retribution after the state accurately reported election results that did not declare him the winner.

“President Trump expressed the root of his displeasure in plain terms during a recorded interview: he essentially claimed that Minnesota is ‘corrupt’ and ‘crooked’ because its officials accurately reported election results and those results did not declare him the winner,” the lawsuit states.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison joined Minneapolis and St. Paul in seeking immediate relief to stop what they describe as unconstitutional and dangerous federal actions.

“This is not sustainable. This is an impossible situation that our city is presently being put in,” Mayor Frey said. “And at the same time, we are trying to find a way forward to keep people safe, to protect our neighbors, to protect order.”

The city’s police force numbers about 600 officers, Frey noted, dwarfed by what he estimated are approximately 3,000 immigration officers in the area.

Community Response And Ongoing Protests

The fatal shooting of Renee Good on January 7 kicked off a series of sustained protests and community resistance efforts across Minnesota. Thousands of protesters gathered in subzero temperatures on Friday as part of a statewide “ICE Out of Minnesota: A Day of Truth and Freedom” protest, with hundreds of businesses closing their doors in solidarity.

Federal law enforcement officials and President Trump defended previous shootings, saying agents acted in self-defense. However, local officials, eyewitnesses, and Democratic lawmakers have contested these accounts, with some calling for criminal proceedings.

“We’ve dreaded this moment since the early stages of this ICE presence in Minneapolis,” Mayor Frey said after Good’s killing. “This was a federal agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying.”

The Minneapolis Police Department has activated mutual aid from surrounding jurisdictions and bolstered local law enforcement resources as a precautionary response to potential civil unrest. Governor Walz placed the National Guard on standby following earlier confrontations between protesters and federal agents.

Protesters have organized massive networks of community resistance against the federal immigration enforcement campaign, with neighbors delivering food to people too fearful to leave their homes, community members standing guard outside schools and businesses, and hundreds joining neighborhood communications to track federal agent movements.

“People in our neighborhood have been terrorized by ICE for six weeks,” an eyewitness to Good’s shooting said.

Federal Agents Deploy Crowd Control Measures

Following previous shootings, federal agents have used tear gas and pepper spray in confrontations with protesters. Video from earlier incidents shows federal officers deploying multiple tear gas canisters, pepper balls, and what sounded like flash bangs while ordering crowds to disperse.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara expressed concern that frequent confrontations between protesters and law enforcement may escalate beyond control.

“I urge anyone that is at the scene to leave immediately,” O’Hara said during one protest, calling the gathering an “unlawful assembly.”

Good’s killing was the ninth time in five states and Washington, D.C., that ICE agents had opened fire on people since September 2025, according to published reports. Four other people have been killed during federal deportation operations during that period.

Political Tensions Escalate

The Trump administration has framed the Minneapolis operation as a necessary crackdown on criminal illegal immigrants, with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stating that agents have arrested thousands of individuals including “vicious murderers, rapists, child pedophiles, and incredibly dangerous individuals.”

However, critics note that immigration enforcement is clearly a pretext for the surge, as Minnesota’s percentage of noncitizen immigrants without legal status sits at roughly 1.5%, less than half the national average.

“The fact that those groups want to shut down Minnesota’s economy, which provides law-abiding American citizens an honest living, to fight for illegal alien murderers, rapists, gang members, pedophiles, drug dealers, and terrorists says everything you need to know,” a DHS spokesperson said in response to Friday’s protests.

Vice President JD Vance visited Minneapolis to show support for ICE operations, telling reporters the government takes allegations of racial profiling seriously while defending the enforcement surge.

Should federal immigration enforcement operations continue in cities where local officials demand their removal, or do states have the authority to reject federal law enforcement presence?
