City of Minneapolis' Posts About Yesterday's ICE-Involved Shooting Fail to Mention Something

As we told you last night, there was another officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis. If you've already guessed that the Democrats and other assorted lefties are going to try and make everybody believe that ICE is just going around shooting innocent people minding their own business, that's exactly what's happening.

We'll start out with the City of Minneapolis' version of events which was posted to X:

We are aware of reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement in North Minneapolis. We are working to confirm additional details.

They continued without providing any real details:

This evening, one adult male was shot by federal immigration enforcement agents in the 600 block of 24th Avenue North. He was transferred to a local hospital with apparent non-life-threatening injuries.

We understand there is anger. We ask the public to remain calm. https://t.co/dTHsb8faqV

The City of Minneapolis again demands that ICE leave the city and state immediately. We stand by our immigrant and refugee communities – know that you have our full support.

This is the common tactic on the Left. If you ever see "ICE shot somebody and they need to leave our city" you can bet the ranch that there's always a lot more to the story.

So you’re just not going to acknowledge why the ICE agent shot them, huh?

Why was he shot?

You left out that part. It’s very relevant.

But you knew that already.

They didn't want to ruin the desired narrative by providing more details. The DHS provided the context the City of Minneapolis didn't think was necessary to mention:

The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.
As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick.
Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg.
