In a disturbing incident amid ongoing anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis, a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer had his finger bitten off by a rioter, according to a post from Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security.
McLaughlin shared graphic photos on X, showing the injured officer sitting in a vehicle, his uniform caked in mud, as a gloved hand tends to his mangled finger.

McLaughlin confirmed that the officer will lose the finger.
Additional photos show individuals alleged to be involved in the biting incident. Their identities and roles in the attack are unclear at the time of publishing.

GRAPHIC WARNING:
The attack comes amid riots in Minneapolis after federal agents were involved in the fatal shooting of an armed agitator who was confronting them on Saturday morning.
The Department of Homeland Security’s statement about the shooting read in full:
“At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.

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 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.

This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming.”
The mayhem is still unfolding in Minneapolis, as hundreds of protesters descended on the area of the shooting and are ignoring dispersal orders.
Democrat leaders, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz, have condemned ICE and demanded their removal from the city — but are not stopping the violent agitators.
