Another ICE shooting

In Minneapolis yesterday, an alleged Venezuelan immigrant reportedly assaulted an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent with a shovel, resulting in the agent shooting the man in the leg. Reports state that both individuals are hospitalized. The shooting came one week after an agent shot and killed a citizen who had positioned her vehicle in front of federal vehicles. That fatality touched off the current protests, which have included demonstrators throwing rocks and shooting fireworks, and federal officers firing tear gas. The Department of Homeland Security has arrested more than 2,000 illegal immigrants in Minnesota since December, and it is promising arrest more, while Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has demanded that agents stop arresting illegal immigrants. The Bible says such violence will continue and intensify until “Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers” (Isaiah 1:7).
