DHS: Armed suspect fatally shot by federal agent in Minneapolis; suspect ‘violently resisted’ disarming attempt
The Department of Homeland Security said an armed suspect was fatally shot Saturday by a federal agent in Minneapolis and that the suspect “violently resisted” a disarming attempt.
DHS indicated a firearm and two magazines were recovered.
‘They have encouraged these reckless confrontations and attacks on our agents and officers.’
“At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun,” DHS said.
“The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted,” DHS added. “Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.”
DHS also said “the suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID — this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”

“About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement,” DHS also said.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the fatally shot man was 37 years old, the Associated Press reported, adding that the chief “urged people to remain peaceful and not to destroy the city.” O’Hara said there was limited information about the shooting and called on people to leave the area and said it’s “not sustainable,” the AP added.
Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as well as Democrat U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith of Minnesota seized on the shooting as another opportunity to demand the ouster of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from the Gopher State.
Walz, who indicated that he has spoken with the White House, stated, “Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”
Klobuchar wrote, “To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW.”
“Another catastrophic shooting in Minneapolis by federal agents,” wrote Smith. “ICE must leave now so MPD can secure the scene and do their jobs.”
In the wake of the shooting, the Border Patrol Union suggested a shooting likely would have been defensive and condemned the incendiary rhetoric spread in recent weeks by politicians and the liberal media.
“Border Patrol agents are trained extremely well to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and innocent third parties. When a supposed ‘peaceful’ protester brings a weapon (such as a loaded handgun) and brandishes it, there are going to severe consequences and repercussions,” said the union.
“We have pleaded with and warned the media and the politicians that their irresponsible, hate-filled and false rhetoric is going to get people unnecessarily hurt, or worse, killed when they portray our agents and officers as the aggressors,” continued the union. “They have encouraged these reckless confrontations and attacks on our agents and officers who are performing their lawful duties and enforcing the laws that Congress has put on the books.”

‘Maga maggots’: Guns, body armor, ammo, Palestinian flag found at home of man accused of threatening to murder ICE agents
Democrats and the liberal media have been working overtime to vilify and dehumanize the men and women of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
This demonization campaign — which opened a new front Sunday with the mob action against Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota — has coincided with unprecedented spikes in assaults and death threats against ICE agents.
‘Alright, you got me.’
The growing left-wing animus is not, however, going unanswered.
Two men were charged in separate cases this week for allegedly threatening to murder ICE agents.
Justin Mesael Novoa, 21, of Columbus, Ohio, was federally charged Thursday with making threatening interstate communications. Novoa apparently has been stewing for months, allegedly issuing threats on X which were brought to the attention of Homeland Security Investigations.
According to the Justice Department, HSI investigators came across a June 2025 post in which Novoa allegedly wrote, “They should blast every ice agent they find.”
Apparently it was far from a one-off articulation of bloodthirst.
In November, Novoa allegedly wrote, “Can’t wait to shoot these p***y ice agents and r*****d maga maggots.”

Court documents indicate that Elon Musk’s X Corp. provided HSI with account details, including an email in Novoa’s name as well as his phone number, reported WSYX-TV.
Investigators subsequently found other troubling posts on Novoa’s alleged X account including numerous anti-Semitic posts calling Jewish people “subhuman” and “filthy” as well as posts referencing Adolf Hitler.
When federal agents executed a search warrant at the radical’s residence in December, they found body armor, a pair of military-issue helmets, two rifles, two shotguns, a handgun, and a wealth of ammunition.
A Palestinian flag reportedly also was found in Novoa’s room.
Novoa allegedly told federal agents conducting the search, “Alright, you got me. That was me,” adding, “Damn, so Elon [Musk] does give you access to that,” reported WSYX.
Novoa, whose preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 5, apparently did not have an adult criminal history, and court documents indicate he was not prohibited from possessing firearms.
In a separate case, a man from Harrison County, West Virginia, also was arrested this week for allegedly threatening to murder federal immigration agents and supporters of President Donald Trump. Cody Smith, 20, has been charged with making terroristic threats and was being held at North Central Regional Jail.
West Virginia State Police learned that Smith had posted videos of himself online in which he allegedly said he was going to attack and kill ICE agents and made threats against Trump. Smith also allegedly indicated on social media that he intended to murder Trump supporters and service members willing to “bootlick,” reported WBOY-TV.
Blaze News has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment.
These alleged terroristic threats also come amid Democratic officials’ increasingly incendiary rhetoric.
Minnesota Mayor Jacob Frey, for instance, characterized ICE as an “occupying force.” In a recent interview, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes accused federal immigration officers of engaging in “thuggish, brutish behavior” and discussed scenarios in which it may be reasonable to shoot masked ICE agents.
Earlier this month, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin noted that “the unprecedented increase in violence against law enforcement is a direct result of sanctuary politicians and the media creating an environment that demonizes our law enforcement and encourages rampant assaults against them.”

Four people found shot to death after 12-year-old calls 911 from closet with other children, police say
A 51-year-old man is in custody after his 12-year-old child called Georgia police from a closet and they found four people shot to death.
The harrowing incident unfolded at the Lawrenceville home on Brook Ivy Court early on Friday morning, according to police.
‘Four people dying at the same time, especially with children in the home … it’s shocking to anybody.’
Police entered the home at about 2:30 in the morning to find the bodies of four people, as well as the 12-year-old still in the closet with two other children ages 10 and 7 years old.
The victims were identified as 37-year-old Nidhi Chander and 38-year-old Harish Chander, who own the home, and their relatives 43-year-old Meemu Dogra and 33-year-old Gourav Cumar.
Vijay Kumar was arrested after a police dog was able to track him trying to hide in the wood line.
They said that Kumar and his wife, Dogra, had gotten into an argument in Atlanta and drove to the Chander home with their 12-year-old child.
“It is unknown at this time what the argument was about, why they came to the residence, or what led up to the incident,” police said in a statement on social media.
Police said they were able to arrive while the suspect’s car was still at the scene because the child called so quickly after the incident.
The children were unharmed.

“It’s definitely a tragic situation. Four people dying at the same time, especially with children in the home … it’s shocking to anybody,” said Gwinnett Police Cpl. Angela Carter.
Kumar was charged with malice murder, felony murder, cruelty to children in the first degree, and two counts of cruelty to children in the third degree.
