“The City of Minneapolis again demands that ICE leave the city and state immediately,” they added.
The man got out of his car and an altercation took place between him and an ICE official, the DHS said. It added that during the incident two other people emerged from a nearby apartment building and allegedly “attacked” the officer.
“Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots,” the DHS statement said, adding “both attackers are in custody”.
The BBC could not immediately independently verify details in the statements. Minneapolis Police chief Brian O’Hara said the FBI is investigating the incident.
In response to the latest ICE shooting, Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey accused federal officers of “creating chaos” across the state.
Protesters gathered at the scene of the shooting soon after the news first emerged, condemning ICE raids in Minneapolis, the largest city in the state of Minnesota.
Around 3,000 ICE officers have been deployed to Minnesota over recent weeks.
