says the video shines new light on the
incident. Entities Arian Par has the
latest and a warning. This report
includes footage some viewers may find
disturbing.
>> A new video obtained by Alpha News is
providing a different perspective of the
Minnesota ice shooting on Wednesday. It
appears to show the officer being struck
by the protester's vehicle. Vice
President JD Vance shared the clip
saying, "Many of you have been told this
law enforcement officer wasn't hit by a
car, wasn't being harassed, and murdered
an innocent woman. The reality is that
his life was endangered, and he fired in
self-defense."
White House press secretary Caroline
Levit says the ICE agent properly
defended himself from being run over by
organized leftist protesters who were
impeding an active law enforcement
operation. Meanwhile, in Minneapolis,
Mayor Jacob Fry is calling on the
federal government to let the state
participate in the investigation into
the shooting.
>> This is not the time to bend the rules.
This is a time to follow the law. The
Justice Department informed Minnesota
authorities that the FBI would conduct
the investigation. Homeland Security
Secretary Christy Nome explained the
decision.
>> They have not been cut out. They don't
have any jurisdiction and they'd like to
know where they've been and why they're
not out on the streets investigating all
of these people that are harassing and
inciting violence on law enforcement
officers right now.
>> House Speaker Mike Johnson weighing in
as well on Friday, saying a full
investigation will take place.
>> We all understand there has to be a full
investigation. That's the appropriate
thing that will happen.
>> Anti-ICE protests are now spreading from
Minnesota to Oregon. That's after
federal immigration officers shot and
wounded two people in a vehicle in
Portland on Thursday. According to the
Department of Homeland Security, the
driver tried to run the agents over
during a targeted vehicle stop. DHS also
says the two are affiliates of Trendy
Ara, which the US has designated a
foreign terrorist organization.
According to new numbers from Homeland
Security, attacks with vehicles on ICE
agents are up by over 3,000% from 2024
to 2025. A spokesperson tells Fox News
that the shooting was justified.
>> Our law enforcement officers pulled them
over as they were approaching the
vehicle. Uh when they realized when the
subjects realized who our law
enforcement were, they uh pulled forward
attempting to hit our law enforcement.
Um, and that's when our uh agent, he
again followed his training and fired
defensive shots.
>> One suspect was shot in the arm, the
other in the chest. Homeland Security on
Friday morning said both are currently
in the hospital. The FBI will assume
custody once they're released. Arian
