Violent Attack Leaves Federal Agent Permanently Maimed

Homeland Security Investigations confirmed on January 25, 2026, that an anti-ICE rioter bit off part of a federal agent’s finger during violent protests in Minneapolis the previous evening. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shared graphic images on social media showing the severed finger and two suspects in custody, declaring the officer “will lose his finger.” The barbaric assault occurred as approximately 200 protesters descended on federal agents conducting immigration enforcement operations, obstructing lawful duties and targeting officers with physical violence. Attorney General Pam Bondi immediately directed federal prosecutors to bring charges against the perpetrator for what she termed a “heinous” attack on law enforcement.

Shooting Death Sparks Anti-ICE Mob Violence

The finger-biting incident erupted hours after Border Patrol agents fatally shot 37-year-old Alex Pretti during a confrontation on January 24, 2026. Federal officials state Pretti, an ICU nurse and Veterans Affairs employee, approached agents armed with a 9mm pistol and magazines while violently resisting during an immigration operation. Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino defended the shooting as self-defense against a would-be “massacre,” emphasizing that Pretti drew a firearm on federal officers performing their constitutional duty to enforce immigration law. However, Pretti’s family disputes this account entirely, claiming he held only a cellphone and was unjustly killed. The conflicting narratives have fueled tensions between federal authorities executing President Trump’s immigration priorities and local progressive activists determined to obstruct enforcement.

Pattern of Obstruction and Assaults on Federal Agents

The finger-biting represents the latest in a series of assaults on federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. Earlier incidents include a parking garage attack where rioters allegedly struck agents with a flagpole, resulting in multiple arrests for assaulting federal officers. These coordinated obstructions follow the death of another U.S. citizen, Renee Nicole Good, during previous ICE operations, triggering daily protests at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building. Minneapolis, still scarred by 2020’s George Floyd riots, has become a flashpoint for anti-ICE resistance as President Trump’s administration intensifies immigration enforcement nationwide. The violence underscores a troubling pattern: leftist mobs willing to maim federal officers rather than allow lawful deportation of illegal aliens, threatening both officer safety and the rule of law conservatives fought to restore.

Local Officials Accused of Undermining Federal Enforcement

Border Patrol Chief Bovino sharply criticized Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Brian O’Hara during a January 25 press conference, accusing them of omitting Pretti’s firearm from public statements and thereby inflaming anti-federal sentiment. Federal officials contend local Democratic leadership has systematically downplayed threats to agents and failed to support immigration enforcement, instead siding with protesters who obstruct constitutional operations. Governor Tim Walz deployed the Minnesota National Guard to assist state and local agencies protecting the federal building, acknowledging the escalating security crisis. Meanwhile, advocacy groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations demand independent state investigations into Pretti’s death and call for local police to shield protesters from federal accountability—a brazen attempt to shield lawbreakers from consequences and undermine the president’s mandate to secure our borders and remove criminal aliens.

Two suspects remain in custody as federal prosecutors prepare charges for the finger-biting assault and related attacks. The HSI agent faces permanent disability, a grim reminder of the physical dangers patriots in uniform endure while defending our nation’s sovereignty. As protests continue and tensions simmer, this incident crystallizes the stakes: will federal officers be allowed to enforce immigration law without savage retaliation, or will blue-city resistance embolden further violence against those sworn to protect American citizens from illegal immigration’s chaos? The answer will define whether the rule of law prevails over leftist mob rule in President Trump’s second term.
