Minneapolis ICE shooting: Protest declared 'unlawful assembly'

A man from Venezuela was shot by ICE in north Minneapolis Wednesday night after federal officials say they attacked an officer following a traffic stop. This comes exactly a week after an ICE officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good.

Protesters clashed with law enforcement in the area in the hours after the shooting, lighting off fireworks and throwing snowballs. Law enforcement responded with chemical irritants in an effort to disperse the crowd. Officials later declared the protest an 'unlawful assembly' and protesters were urged to leave the scene.

The Department of Homeland Security in a statement Wednesday night said federal officers were conducting "a targeted traffic stop" around 6:50 p.m. on Jan. 14. The shooting happened on the 600 block of 24th Avenue North in Minneapolis, which is about 4.5 miles from where Renee Good was fatally shot on Jan. 7.

DHS said in a statement federal law enforcement officers stopped a person from Venezuela who was in the U.S. illegally. The person drove away and crashed into a parked car before taking off on foot, DHS said. After officers reached the person, two other people arrived from a nearby apartment and all three started attacking the officer, according to DHS.

"Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life," DHS said.

The man who was shot suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital, the City of Minneapolis said in a post on social media.

The officer involved was also taken to the hospital, DHS says. The extent of the officer's injuries are not known.

The two other people involved in the incident were arrested, DHS says.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minneapolis Chief of Police Brian O'Hara gave an update Wednesday.
