Have any ICE agents been shot or seriously injured recently in Minnesota, or other areas of tension in the USA?

1. What the record shows: civilians shot and killed, not agents wounded

Since early January 2026, reporting documents at least two high-profile fatal shootings of Minneapolis residents by federal immigration personnel — the killing of Renée Good on January 7, 2026 and the killing of Alex Pretti on January 24, 2026 — and broader accounts that this is part of a cluster of federal-agent-involved shootings in the period ^{[1] [2] [3]}. The news coverage, incident reports, and compiled lists focus on people shot by immigration agents and activists’ and officials’ responses; none of the supplied sources report an ICE agent being shot or sustaining comparable recent, serious gunshot injuries in Minnesota amid these operations ^{[4] [5] [6]}.

2. One documented ICE officer injury earlier in 2025, not from being shot

Sources note a previously reported injury to an ICE officer, Jonathan Ross, who sustained injuries in a June 17, 2025 traffic-stop incident in which he was dragged by a vehicle after breaking a car window during an attempted arrest — an event described as having occurred months before the January 2026 Minneapolis shootings and referenced by DHS officials in later briefings ^[1]. That episode is cited by officials as background but is not described in the sources as a recent shooting of an ICE agent during the January confrontations ^[1].

3. Broader national context: many shootings by immigration agents, but not agents being shot

National compilations and reporting show an uptick in shootings by immigration agents in the second Trump administration, with at least 26 shootings since January 20, 2025 and multiple deaths among civilians; analysts have highlighted a pattern of agents firing into or at moving vehicles in that period ^[7]. Those datasets document agents as shooters, not as victims of shootings, and the Wall Street Journal’s tally of officers firing at or into vehicles notes civilian injuries and fatalities rather than officers being shot ^[7].

4. Conflicting official accounts and contested facts complicate claims about who was threatened or hurt

Federal officials have said at times that agents faced armed threats — for example DHS stated the man shot on January 24 “approached” officers with a handgun, and federal releases included images of a weapon the department says was at the scene — but bystander videos and local officials have disputed elements of those accounts, and coverage emphasizes disputed narratives and limited local access to scenes for state investigators ^{[8] [2] [4]}. Where DHS asserts agents faced armed dangers, the sources make clear there is contested evidence and vigorous pushback from state and local leaders over the factual record and investigation access ^{[2] [4] [5]}.

5. What these sources do not show — and what that implies

The materials provided do not contain any contemporaneous reports of ICE agents being shot or sustaining serious gunshot injuries in the current Minneapolis incidents; the thrust of the record is the opposite — multiple civilians shot and killed and a political and legal fight over oversight and evidence ^{[1] [3] [6]}. If there are separate incidents in other states or more recent developments involving agents being shot, those are not covered in the supplied reporting and cannot be confirmed here; the available sources instead document fatalities among civilians, contested federal narratives about threats to officers, and restrictions on local investigatory access ^{[7] [4] [9]}.
