The U.S. Department of Homeland Security calls the Minneapolis shooting a โdefective actโ and an act of domestic terrorism, warning of threats to law enforcement amid ongoing protests.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has responded to the Minneapolis shooting ” Defective Act “
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has responded to the recent Minneapolis shooting, describing the incident as a โdefective actโ .
According to DHS, the situation involved what the agency called an โanti-ICE rioterโ who allegedly weaponized her vehicle against law enforcement officers. โOur officer relied on his training and saved his own life, as well as the lives of his fellow officers,โ the tweet stated.
DHS further criticized political policies, suggesting that โsanctuary politicians have created an environment that encourages rampant assaults on law enforcement.โ The agency labeled the event as an act of domestic terrorism, highlighting concerns over growing threats to law enforcement personnel in areas with controversial immigration policies.
The statement comes amid heightened national attention on the Minneapolis shooting and subsequent protests in cities including Columbus, Ohio, where communities have mobilized to show solidarity with immigrants and raise questions about ICE practices.
This official response contrasts sharply with the public demonstrations, which emphasize accountability for federal immigration operations and the safety of immigrant communities. DHSโs characterization of the incident underscores the ongoing tension between federal law enforcement agencies and local advocacy groups, particularly in cities with active sanctuary policies.
Officials continue to monitor the situation closely, and both law enforcement and community leaders have called for calm as investigations proceed.
