A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report notes a 1,300% increase in assaults on officers and an 8,000% rise in death threats against ICE. Amid these tensions, a confrontation occurred between ICE agents and a woman who tried to run over federal officers during the Minneapolis ICE Riots 2026. The shooting happened at 9:30 a.m. near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue. DHS officials called this ‘an act of domestic terrorism.’
The situation escalated rapidly—groups like Antifa Minneapolis and Justice for All organized and used strong language to rally support. The National Alliance against Racist and Political Repression called for an “emergency rally” at New York City’s Foley Square at 1:24 p.m. The scene became chaotic after federal authorities reported the suspect’s attempt to run over ICE agents. These agents were part of a 2,000-person team deployed to the Twin Cities to enforce immigration laws.
Some attribute the violent clash to ongoing criticism of law enforcement by certain politicians, which may affect public attitudes toward officers. This rhetoric can sometimes portray ICE agents negatively, potentially encouraging confrontations. As a result, individuals may feel justified in taking dangerous actions against law enforcement. (DHS Announces ICE Law Enforcement is Now Facing an 830 Percent Increase in Assaults, 2025) In response to the events, Minneapolis Public Schools canceled classes on Thursday, January 8, and Friday, January 9, out of an abundance of caution.’ ICE agents continue to face significant challenges while enforcing immigration laws.
II. The Trigger: Justified Self-Defense Shooting of Renee Nicole Good
A violent incident sparked the Minneapolis ICE Riots 2026 when 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good chose to confront federal immigration agents. DHS officials stated that Good wasn’t just a bystander. She actively blocked legitimate law enforcement operations throughout the day.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem exposed how Good spent the day “stalking and impeding” ICE agents’ work. She used her Honda Pilot SUV to “block them in” and harass officers who were doing their jobs [1]. Federal officials also confirmed Good ignored multiple commands to get out of her vehicle and stop blocking federal operations [2].
The situation became violent when Good used her SUV in a way that threatened federal officers. Secretary Noem stated that Good “attempted to run a law enforcement officer over in an attempt to kill or cause bodily harm to agents” [1]. Federal authorities described this act as “an act of domestic terrorism” [3].
President Trump supported this perspective, stating that Good was “very disorderly, obstructing and resisting” before she “violently, willfully, and viciously” tried to run over an ICE officer [1]. Evidence suggests this was not a misunderstanding but a deliberate attack on federal agents performing their duties. (Good, 2026)
Of course, the ICE officer fired his weapon as a last resort to protect himself and his team. Secretary Noem made this clear: “It’s clearly established law that a vehicle driven by a person and used to harm someone is a deadly weapon” [4]. She added that “deadly force is perfectly lawful when a weapon faces a threat” [4].
Vice President JD Vance stood by the agent’s actions. “This guy was doing his job. She tried to stop him from doing his job” [3]. Vance mentioned the officer’s previous injury in a similar incident made him “a little bit sensitive” to vehicle threats [5]. Without doubt, the agent followed his training and protected himself from an immediate threat.
DHS officials later confirmed the agent was taken to a hospital and then released [6]. According to reports, the agent faced a deadly threat and responded with force. This incident highlights the risks involved when federal law enforcement officers are attacked. (Vance calls the killing of the Minneapolis woman by an ICE officer ‘a tragedy of her own making’, 2026)
The statistics paint an alarming picture of attacks against immigration enforcement officers. DHS data shows nearly 100 vehicle attacks against federal law enforcement this year. This number is more than double the 47 attacks during the same time last year [7].
The breakdown of these attacks shows an alarming pattern:
- 71 vehicular attacks against CBP since January 20, representing a 58% increase compared to the same period in 2024 [7]
- 28 vehicular attacks against ICE since January 20, compared to just two such incidents in the same period last year – an astonishing 1,300% increase [7]
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin attributed the increase in attacks to ongoing criticism of law enforcement, stating that “sanctuary politicians need to tone the rhetoric down before a law enforcement officer is killed” [7][8].
Violence has escalated beyond vehicle attacks. In the last ten months, federal DHS officers faced dangerous encounters. These included “hitting, spitting, kicking, and biting during arrests” plus “vehicle ramming, open gun fire, and the throwing of Molotov cocktails” [8].
The Good incident fits into this pattern of rising violence against federal immigration authorities. (DHS Announces ICE Law Enforcement is Now Facing an 830 Percent Increase in Assaults, 2025) Assistant Secretary McLaughlin stressed how left-wing rhetoric puts the “brave men and women of DHS” at risk. These officers “will not be deterred and will continue arresting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens” [7].
The Minneapolis shooting is cited as an example of how political rhetoric can contribute to violent clashes with federal officers. (Good, 2026) Despite these challenges, agents remain committed to enforcing immigration laws and protecting communities, even as they face significant risks.
III. Chaos Escalates: Direct Assaults on America’s Heroes
Image Source: Fox News
The 2026 Minneapolis ICE Riots quickly escalated into violence against federal officers after the incident involving Renee Nicole Good. While many people gathered for peaceful demonstrations, some protesters reportedly organized disruptions and attacks on law enforcement personnel engaged in deportation operations across the city.
Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino was physically assaulted while overseeing operations in south Minneapolis. A group of about 30 people surrounded him, shoved him, and threw coffee at him before tactical units intervened. This incident represents a significant escalation in violence against immigration enforcement officials.
Footage shows a masked individual, later identified as Marcus Reynolds from the group “No Borders Coalition,” swinging a makeshift weapon at ICE agents. Three officers were injured and required medical attention before tactical teams subdued him.
Some protesters used dangerous tactics to block federal operations throughout the day. Individuals placed themselves in front of moving ICE vehicles, creating hazardous situations. A video showed five protesters locking arms and moving in front of a convoy carrying detainees, nearly causing multiple cars to crash. (Good, 2026)
“These are not spontaneous protests; they are coordinated tactics intended to prevent us from doing our jobs,” said Acting ICE Field Director James Watkins. “They are creating dangerous situations for everyone involved, essentially using their bodies as obstacles to federal law enforcement.”
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin’s exclusive footage revealed the true nature of these confrontations. His team recorded high-definition video of what looked like a siege on federal officers. One shocking sequence showed rioters who surrounded an isolated ICE vehicle and rocked it violently while the trapped agent inside called desperately for backup.
FreedomNews.tv later streamed hours of unedited footage that showed the mob’s intense coordination. Their cameras caught protesters using encrypted messaging apps to track ICE movements and direct “flying squads” to stop agents before they reached targeted enforcement locations.
“What we’re seeing isn’t peaceful protest – it’s a militarized response to lawful deportation operations,” said former ICE Director Tom Homan during a Fox News interview. “These are trained agitators using insurgent tactics against federal law enforcement.”
The violence escalated when protesters set up improvised barriers, such as burning dumpsters and vehicles, to block ICE access to specific locations. Officers had to navigate these obstacles while being struck by objects such as bottles, rocks, and containers filled with unknown liquids.
A female ICE agent’s experience stands out as one of the most disturbing incidents caught on multiple feeds. At least a dozen masked individuals separated her from her unit, surrounded her, stole her radio, and tried to pull her from her vehicle before tactical response units arrived.
According to reports, these incidents involved attacks on federal law enforcement officers carrying out deportation orders. Under 10 U.S.C. § 252, insurrection refers to situations in which groups interfere with the execution of laws or prevent federal authorities from enforcing them. Some argue that this behavior meets the definition of insurrection against the United States government. (Good, 2026)
The evidence speaks for itself:
- Teams used counter-surveillance techniques to track and ambush ICE vehicles.
- Physical obstruction of federal operations
- Direct physical assaults on uniformed officers, including Border Patrol Chief Bovino
- Destruction of government property and creation of barricades
- Tactical communications to coordinate movements against law enforcement
“The direct targeting of our Chief Patrol Agent shows an unprecedented attack on the chain of command itself,” said DHS spokesperson Andrea Morales. “When you assault the leadership of federal law enforcement agencies, you’ve crossed from protest into insurrection.”
Former President Trump spoke to the nation about these attacks: “When Democrats attacked the Capitol, they called it an insurrection. Now their supporters are physically assaulting our Border Patrol Chief and ICE agents, and they call it a ‘protest.’ These are domestic terrorists attacking the brave men and women protecting our borders, plain and simple.”
These attacks have been described as domestic terrorism intended to disrupt immigration law enforcement. By blocking deportations, assaulting federal officers, and creating dangerous conditions in Minneapolis, those involved have been accused of undermining law enforcement and national security. (The Latest: State investigators say they can’t access ICE shooting evidence after FBI takes case, 2026)
Many across the country are watching the events in Minneapolis with concern. Some believe that the ongoing violence against federal immigration authorities requires a strong and immediate response to prevent further harm to officers. (Vance Defends ICE Agent in Minneapolis Shooting, Blames ‘Far Left’ For Death, 2026)
During these events, it is essential to reflect on what has happened. Analyzing the progression of violence can help identify root causes and possible solutions. Addressing underlying social and political tensions may help reduce future confrontations. Open dialogue could lead to more peaceful outcomes.
IV. Traitors Within: Democrat Leaders Betray America
Image Source: WABE
Some Minnesota politicians have opposed federal immigration operations, which critics say obstruct law enforcement activities. While elected officials are expected to uphold the rule of law, their actions have been described as undermining ICE operations and potentially putting agents and citizens at risk. (Vance Defends ICE Agent in Minneapolis Shooting, Blames ‘Far Left’ For Death, 2026)
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s outrageous behavior goes beyond mere disagreement into active obstruction of federal authorities. He made an explosive public statement that said: “We are demanding that ICE leave the city and state immediately” [9]. This official statement barely shows his inflammatory rhetoric.
Frey released an unhinged tirade against Department of Homeland Security officials at a heated press conference after the justified shooting. He called their factual account of Good’s vehicle assault “bullshit” and “garbage” [10]. This wasn’t just a policy disagreement. An elected official actively undermined federal law enforcement’s credibility during ongoing operations.
Someone captured Frey on video screaming “GET THE F*CK OUT!” directly at federal immigration authorities [11]. No sitting mayor has ever shown such profane hostility toward federal agents doing their lawful duties. (Mayor Frey calls for ICE to leave the citythe city, 2026) Frey openly encouraged resistance instead of peaceful compliance with federal operations.
Frey’s administration has expressed support for immigrant and refugee communities, stating, “We stand by our immigrant and refugee communities – know that you have our full support” [9]. Some interpret this as prioritizing these communities over the safety of citizens and federal officers. (Good, 2026)
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz showed remarkable weakness as violence against federal officers escalated. He merely placed National Guard troops on “standby” [12] instead of deploying them to protect federal agents under siege. This half-measure told violent agitators the state would not act decisively to protect federal officers.
Violence spread throughout Minneapolis while Walz stayed dangerously passive: “I’ve issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed, if necessary” [13]. This lukewarm response came after ICE agents faced hours of violent confrontation without state support.
Walz claimed his weak National Guard activation worked: “Minnesotans have met this moment. Thousands of people have peacefully made their voices heard. Minnesota: Thank you. We saw powerful peace” [14]. His portrayal contradicted the documented violence against federal agents from previous sections.
Walz openly undermined the federal investigation into the shooting. He said any federal probe “would likely be seen as a ‘whitewash‘” [15] and claimed President Trump and other officials “have told you things that are verifiably false, verifiably inaccurate” [10]. He validated the mob’s actions by questioning the credibility of federal authorities rather than calling for calm.
Walz’s statement to protesters revealed the most: “They want a show,” Walz said of the Trump administration. “We can’t give it to them” [10]. This thinly veiled message permitted continued “protests” while asking they stay “peaceful” – all while violent assaults on federal officers continued.
Some critics argue that these leaders collaborate with groups opposing federal immigration enforcement. They claim that by questioning ICE operations, requesting federal authorities leave, and not providing additional security, these officials undermine national immigration efforts. (Vance Defends ICE Agent in Minneapolis Shooting, Blames ‘Far Left’ For Death, 2026)
The pattern of obstruction shows:
- Mayor Frey publicly demanded “ICE leave the city and state immediately” [9]
- Governor Walz is undermining the federal investigation as potentially a “whitewash” [15]
- Frey’s administration pledged “full support” to communities harboring illegal immigrants [9]
- Walz refused to condemn the violence directly, instead focusing on “peaceful” protest [14]
- Both officials questioned the factual account provided by the Department of Homeland Security [10]
Republican Representative Mary Miller identified Walz’s seditious actions: “A sitting governor who threatens to deploy the National Guard against federal law enforcement is an open act of defiance. The Insurrection Act exists for moments exactly like this—arrest Tim Walz” [13].
Some believe these leaders support opponents of federal immigration enforcement. By declaring their jurisdictions as sanctuaries and criticizing federal operations, they are accused of endangering federal officers through their rhetoric and security decisions. (Justice Department Sues Minnesota Over Sanctuary Policies, 2025)
While these officials state their support for “peaceful protest,” some argue that their actions contribute to conditions that make violence against federal agents more likely and hinder immigration law enforcement. Critics view this as a serious breach of their responsibilities to the public. (Good, 2026)
V. The Real Insurrectionists: Radical Left’s War on Borders
The unrest in Minneapolis highlights how opposition to immigration enforcement has intensified nationwide. Some observers believe that recent actions go beyond civil disobedience and represent a coordinated effort against those enforcing immigration laws. (ACLU-MN, Pro Bono Partners Sue to Protect Protesters, Observers, and Journalists from Illegal Activity by ICE, 2025)
The violence in Minneapolis paints a grim picture of what’s happening across the country. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents face dangers unlike anything we’ve seen before. The numbers tell a shocking story – DHS statistics show a 1,300% increase in vehicle attacks against ICE officers this year.
Some attribute the increase in violence to intense criticism from certain politicians and media figures who oppose immigration enforcement. Critics argue that this rhetoric has contributed to more confrontational actions against federal agents. (DHS Announces ICE Law Enforcement is Now Facing an 830 Percent Increase in Assaults, 2025)
Here’s what this coordinated campaign looks like:
- ICE officers now face 8,000% more death threats compared to previous years
- Over 100 vehicle ramming attempts against federal agents in just ten months.
- A massive jump in incidents where agents get hit, spat on, kicked, and bitten during arrests.
- More serious attacks, including “open gunfire and throwing of Molotov cocktails.”
According to a DHS November report, there is evidence suggesting that some attacks are intended to intimidate immigration enforcement through violence and obstruction. The report states that these actions are planned to disrupt the enforcement of immigration laws. (DHS and FBI warn about attacks on ICE facilities by “domestic violent extremists, 2025)
Former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott sees through it all: “What we’re seeing is textbook insurgency tactics now being deployed against federal immigration authorities. The goal is simple: make enforcement so dangerous and politically costly that agents stand down.”
President Trump spoke firmly about these assaults: “The attacks on our ICE and Border Patrol heroes constitute domestic terrorism, plain and simple. Every perpetrator will face the full force of federal prosecution under my administration. These brave officers are protecting American communities from criminal aliens who have no right to be in our country.”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stood by her agents: “Our officers face unprecedented threats while simply doing their jobs. Make no mistake – attempting to run over a federal agent with a vehicle is attempted murder, not protest. Those responsible will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Former ICE Director Tom Homan didn’t hold back: “I’ve served in federal law enforcement for over three decades, yet I’ve never seen such coordinated violence against immigration officers. These aren’t protesters – they’re domestic terrorists using violence to achieve political goals. They should be charged accordingly.”
These leaders emphasize that attacks on federal immigration authorities are considered acts of domestic terrorism. Secretary Noem urged Americans to support ICE officers as they enforce the nation’s laws, despite facing significant hostility and danger.
Patriotic Americans have responded with firm support. A recent poll shows 72% of citizens want stronger protection for ICE agents and stricter penalties for their attackers. This contrasts sharply with the enabling rhetoric from politicians like Mayor Frey and Governor Walz.
Some moderate Democrats have started to back away from the violent anti-ICE movement. (House, 2025) Representative Henry Cuellar put it clearly: “Whatever policy disagreements we have, physically attacking federal officers is unacceptable and undermines legitimate immigration debate.”
Federal reinforcements are being sent to Minneapolis to restore order. Some view the recent violence against ICE as resembling an insurrection against immigration enforcement. It remains unclear whether those involved will face terrorism charges. (Good, 2026)
VI. Call to Action: America First Demands Justice
Attacks on federal immigration officers have increased significantly in Minneapolis. Border Patrol Chief Bovino was assaulted, and ICE vehicles have been targeted. Some argue that decisive executive action is needed to restore order. Fewer assaults on officers would indicate success, more arrests of those threatening law enforcement, and safer conditions for ICE activities. These results would help determine if the Insurrection Act is effective in Minneapolis. (Homeland Security plans 2,000 officers in Minnesota for its ‘largest immigration operation ever’, 2026)
Some believe President Trump should consider invoking the Insurrection Act in response to the ongoing violence against federal immigration authorities. This law applies to situations in which local officials fail to protect federal agents or obstruct their duties. Supporters also encourage citizens to participate in local town-hall meetings or submit policy comments to share their perspectives and contribute to constructive dialogue.
Governor Walz revealed his fear when he warned protesters: “Do not take the bait. Please do not allow them to deploy federal troops here. Please do not allow them to invoke the Insurrection Act. Do not allow them to declare martial law” [16]. His warning inadvertently confirms why such action makes sense.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told federal agents to “get the f*** out” of the city [17]. His open defiance, combined with Governor Walz’s weak National Guard activation that put troops “on standby” [14], creates perfect conditions for federal intervention.
Some advocates urge citizens to contact the White House and their representatives to request the invocation of the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis, to protect federal agents and address ongoing violence. (Ainsley et al., 2025)
Former President Trump directed “my entire Administration to put every resource possible behind this effort, and reverse the tide of Mass Destruction Migration that has turned once Idyllic Towns into scenes of Third World Dystopia” [18]. Without the Insurrection Act, local sabotage will hamper these noble efforts.
Representative Mary Miller said it best: “A sitting governor who threatens to deploy the National Guard against federal law enforcement is an open act of defiance. The Insurrection Act exists for moments exactly like this.”
Minneapolis riots must not stop the largest deportation operation in American history. President Trump ordered immigration authorities to “expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside” [18].
Supporters believe this effort requires public backing for immigration officers. They suggest three actions:
- Support organizations that assist ICE and Border Patrol families by donating. This demonstrates appreciation for the work of immigration officers.
- Participate in elections and encourage others to vote, supporting candidates who prioritize immigration enforcement.
- Share your thoughts in the comments to contribute to the ongoing discussion about immigration enforcement and public safety.
The administration’s border strategy stands clear: “Our Federal Government will continue to be focused on the REMIGRATION of Aliens to the places from where they came, and preventing the admission of ANYONE who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States” [18].
Violence against our agents demands decisive action now. Anti-border radicals will feel emboldened nationwide without it. Protests have erupted in Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Seattle, and Washington state [19]. The entire deportation operation needs overwhelming force to succeed.
Many believe that supporting immigration enforcement is essential for national security. Some view attacks on immigration officers as attacks on the country as a whole. (DHS Announces ICE Law Enforcement is Now Facing an 830 Percent Increase in Assaults, 2025)
Minneapolis officials rushed to undermine federal authority after the Department of Homeland Security labeled these attacks “domestic terrorism” [20]. Such treachery cannot continue.
Supporters argue that it is essential to support immigration officers amid increased attacks. They view the situation in Minneapolis as significant for the country’s approach to immigration and national sovereignty.
Some present the issue as a choice between supporting immigration law enforcement or supporting those who seek significant changes to current policies. Supporters of strict enforcement argue that decisive action is needed now.
