After the latest shooting involving US ICE agents was shared online, it adds to a long list of more than two dozen similar incidents since Donald Trump took office for a second term
US immigration agents have been involved in at least 26 shootings since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term in January 2025, after horrifying footage of the latest incident was shared online.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents specifically have been involved in at least 11 shootings since January 2025 – 12 with the latest attack in Minneapolis today.
A shocking video shared earlier today appeared to show ICE agents shooting an unarmed person, as agents wrestle the person to the ground, in Minneapolis, near Glam Doll Donuts.
Sharing a clip of the incident, one person posted on Twitter, formerly X, saying: “You can then see agents open fire on the man’s body as he lies motionless on the ground. This just happened.”
Out of the 26 ICE shootings since Trump’s second term started, six of those incidents resulting in deaths, according to a compilation of reported cases involving ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

The shootings span at least 15 states and the District of Columbia and include encounters during traffic stops, arrest operations, border enforcement actions and off-duty incidents. Federal immigration agencies, including ICE and CBP, are housed within the Department of Homeland Security.
Analysts and media outlets have noted an unusually large share of the shootings involved officers firing into or at moving vehicles. In January 2026, The Wall Street Journal identified at least 13 cases since July 2025 in which immigration officers fired “at or into civilian vehicles,” resulting in at least eight gunshot wounds and two deaths. At least five of the people shot during that period were US citizens.
The earliest fatal shooting in the period occurred on January 20, 2025, in Coventry, Vermont, when CBP agents stopped a vehicle near the Canadian border. A shootout followed, killing Agent David Maland and German national Ophelia Baukholt. Authorities said the shooting was connected to a cultlike group known as the Zizians. The driver was arrested.
Other fatal incidents included the December 11, 2025, shooting of a 31-year-old Mexican man by CBP agents in Rio Grande City, Texas, after agents said a group of pedestrians attempted to flee and fought with officers. On December 31, 2025, an off-duty ICE agent shot and killed Keith Porter, a 43-year-old Black father of two, in Los Angeles. The agent alleged Porter had shot at him, while Porter’s family said he had been firing shots outside as part of a New Year’s Eve celebration and posed no threat.
On January 7, 2026, a masked ICE agent in Minneapolis shot US citizen Renée Good three times during a street encounter. Agents claimed Good was attempting to ram them with her vehicle. She died of her injuries.
Several other shootings involved injuries but no deaths. On October 4, 2025, in Chicago, an ICE agent shot US citizen Marimar Martinez five times after accusing her of ramming agents with her car. Martinez survived, and charges filed against her were later dismissed.
In Portland, Oregon, on January 8, 2026, a CBP agent shot two people during a traffic stop. The Department of Homeland Security said the shooting was in self-defense and claimed the pair were suspected gang associates who had entered the country illegally.
Multiple incidents also occurred during immigration operations in which agents said suspects attempted to flee in vehicles. In Glen Burnie, Maryland, on December 24, 2025, ICE agents shot one man who tried to flee during a detention operation, with ICE claiming he attempted to run over officers. Another man was injured in the resulting crash.
In several cases, no one was injured, including a July 31, 2025, incident in Black Forest, Colorado, when an ICE agent fired three shots at a vehicle whose driver was described as attempting to ram agents, and a November 13, 2025, shooting in Washington, D.C., when an HSI agent fired at a car during a traffic stop.
Some shootings sparked protests or public backlash. After a January 14, 2026, shooting of a man from Venezuela by an ICE agent in North Minneapolis, demonstrators gathered at the scene, pelting agents with snowballs and setting off fireworks. Federal security forces responded by spraying chemical agents at protesters.
