BREAKING: A shooting involving federal law enforcement has been confirmed in Minneapolis this morning, January 24, 2026. The incident marks another troubling event for the city, occurring just 17 days after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
The City of Minneapolis announced via its official X account that it is “aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement” near 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. Officials are urging the public to “remain calm and avoid the immediate area” as they work to gather further details.
According to reports from Fox News’s Bill Melugin, a Border Patrol agent discharged their weapon, and the suspect is currently “down.” Emergency medical personnel are on the scene providing assistance. Specifics about the suspect or the circumstances leading to the shooting remain unconfirmed.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has indicated that the suspect was armed with a gun, which has since been recovered by federal agents. This development raises serious concerns about the ongoing presence of federal law enforcement in the area, as both ICE and Border Patrol fall under DHS jurisdiction.
In a poignant response, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz expressed his outrage, stating, “I 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.”
This incident is still unfolding, and authorities are expected to release more information as investigations progress. Residents are advised to stay away from the vicinity while law enforcement secures the area.
The City of Minneapolis has reiterated its commitment to transparency and public safety, stating that updates will be provided as soon as confirmed details are available.
As this situation develops, many are left questioning the implications of federal law enforcement operations in the city, making this an urgent issue for Minneapolis residents and beyond.
