An armed individual was fatally shot by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, and the firearm was taken by law enforcement on Saturday.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to The Daily Wire that the “suspect had a firearm with 2 magazines,” but noted that the situation is “evolving,” with more details expected to emerge. According to Fox News, the shooting occurred around 26th St. and Nicollet Ave.

In a statement sent to The Daily Wire by DHS said that on Saturday morning that the incident occurred during a “targeted operation”  for an illegal immigrant “wanted for violent assault,” and then an individual came up to Border Patrol agents with the “semi-automatic handgun.”

‘The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming. 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,” the statement read.

“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.  This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming,” it continued.

The Minnesota Star Tribune reported that Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed that the individual died shortly after the shooting, while a viral video now circulating on social media appears to show the incident. Various details are unknown at this time.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Operation Metro Surge has been ongoing in the Minneapolis area since late last year, which has yielded the arrests of over 3,000 people, including those in the country illegally with additional criminal charges and convictions.

“DHS law enforcement continues to remove violent criminal illegal aliens from the streets of Minnesota. Just yesterday, they arrested pedophiles, sexual predators, and drug traffickers in Minnesota,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement on Friday, highlighting notable arrests throughout the operation.

“Many of these public safety threats were released from Minnesota jails. We are calling on Governor Walz and Mayor Frey to honor the more than 1,360 detainers of the illegal aliens in Minnesota jails. Despite horrific smears and violent assaults against them, our officers continue to put their lives on the line to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens,” she added.

Anti-ICE protests surged in the region following the fatal shooting of Renee Good, who the administration said tried to hit an ICE agent with her vehicle, and the agent suffered internal bleeding as a result, according to DHS.

On Saturday morning, President Donald Trump threatened Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney with a steep 100% tariff if he follows through on a recent deal with communist China.

“If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken,” the president wrote on Truth Social.

Notably, Trump mockingly referred to the PM as “Governor Carney,” as the president has repeatedly said in the past that he’d like to turn Canada into the 51st state of the U.S. — a proposition Carney very much did not like.

“China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life,” Trump continued. “If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A.”

On Friday, Carney announced a new Canada-China trade deal that partially rolls back tariffs on both sides. Under the agreement, Canada will allow a limited number of Chinese electric vehicles to enter the country at reduced tariffs, while China will significantly cut or pause tariffs on major Canadian agricultural exports like canola, seafood, and peas.

Carney called the deal “historic and productive.”

Trump’s threat for a 100% tariff follows drama at the World Economic Forum. Carney criticized the U.S. for its ambition to purchase Greenland, sparking a tough response from Trump.

“I watched your prime minister yesterday,” Trump said on Wednesday. “He wasn’t so grateful, but they should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States.”

“Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements,” he continued.

“All we want from Denmark for national and international security and to keep our very energetic and dangerous potential enemies at bay is this land on which we’re going to build the greatest golden dome ever built,” said Trump.

“We’re building a golden dome that’s going to, just by its very nature, going to be defending Canada. Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way,” the president added. “They should be grateful also, but they’re not.”
