Family says no lawyer will take case after deadly crash involving migrant driver
The sister of Robert Pearson, who was killed in a Washington State highway crash, says her family has been unable to find legal representation to pursue accountability against the state entity that issued a commercial driver’s license (CDL) to the undocumented immigrant truck driver who allegedly struck and killed her brother.
Jen Jensen, Pearson’s sister, said her family had begun taking legal action against the trucking company that hired Singh, but holding government agencies to account has proven more difficult.
“Where they’re running into problems is suing Washington, suing California, the company that issued the CDL,” Jensen said Wednesday on “The Ingraham Angle.”
“That’s where they’re running into problems of finding a lawyer that’s willing to take case and wanting to put up a fight, because there are so many layers to this. It’s not, unfortunately, this clean case that … it seems like.”
Kamalpreet Singh was arrested by U.S. Border Patrol agents after crossing illegally into the United States on Dec. 23, 2023, but was released into the country instead of being detained, an ICE source said.
Singh faces charges of vehicular homicide after he allegedly crashed into the back of a vehicle on State Route 167 in Washington, crushing it against another truck and killing 29-year-old Robert B. Pearson in December 2025. He was released from jail on a $100,000 bond.

Jensen said her family is ready and willing to seek consequences for regulatory agencies, but attorneys are not.

“They’ve reached out to multiple law firms, multiple lawyers. They have friends of lawyers that have been trying to reach out to find someone willing to take the case,” she explained. “And they keep running into dead ends. ‘Sorry, we don’t cover that in our firm.’ And there are no recommendations given.”
Ingraham called it “ridiculous” that the Pearson family hasn’t been able to secure legal counsel, saying there should be a national class-action lawsuit against trucking companies that fail to properly vet drivers.

Jensen also expressed frustration with slow justice.
“[We] want everyone and everything that led up to this happening — they want there to be some sort of accountability, but no one’s coming forward or willing to take the case,” she said.
Players took bribes up to $30K to throw basketball games in gambling scheme: prosecutors
Federal prosecutors in Pennsylvania announced Thursday that at least 26 people were indicted in an alleged “transactional criminal scheme” to fix NCAA Division I men’s basketball games and professional Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) games.
Prosecutors say the participants bribed CBA players “to underperform and help ensure their team failed to cover the spread in certain games and then, through various sports books, arranged for large wagers to be placed on those games against that team,” according to Thursday’s indictment.
“[Defendants] aided and abetted the carrying into effect, the attempt to carry into effect, and the conspiracy to carry into effect, a scheme in commerce to influence by bribery sporting contests, that is, Chinese Basketball Association (“CBA”) men’s basketball games and National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) men’s basketball games, with the defendants engaging in different aspects of this scheme, with knowledge that the purpose of this scheme was to influence in some way those contests by bribery,” the indictment said.

Former NBA player Antonio Blakeney is among those charged. Blakeney was a McDonald’s All-American in 2015 and attended LSU for two seasons.
Blakeney, a star player on the Jiangsu Dragons, was recruited and paid bribes to underperform and influence the outcome of games, prosecutors said. Blakeney then recruited other players on the team, corrupting the integrity of games, according to the indictment.
Prosecutors say from 2023 to 2025, the participants turned their attention to the NCAA, recruiting players and paying bribes between $10,000 and $30,000 per game. According to the indictment, more than 39 players on 17 different teams attempted to fix more than 29 NCAA Division 1 men’s basketball games, including conference tournament contests. The organizers of the alleged scheme made wagers totaling millions of dollars.
Those participating played for Tulane, Nicholls State University, St. Louis University, Fordham, DePaul among others, prosecutors said.
Charges include bribery in sporting contests, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and wire fraud.
LOOKING BACK AT THE SPORTS GAMBLING CONTROVERSIES THROUGHOUT 2025, WITH NBA AND MLB INVESTIGATIONS LEADING WAY
United States attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, David Metcalf, announced the indictment at a press conference on Thursday.
“When criminals pollute the purity of sports by manipulating competition, it doesn’t just imperil the integrity of sports betting markets and imperils the integrity of sport itself and everything that sports represent to us, you know, hard work, determination and fairness,” Metcalf said.
“We allege an extensive international criminal conspiracy of NCAA players, alumni and professional bettors who fixed games across the country and poisoned the American spirit of competition for monetary gain.”

ICE deputy director resigns from agency to run for Congress
Madison Sheahan, the deputy director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), is resigning from her role to run for Congress in Ohio, multiple federal law enforcement sources told Fox News.
The announcement was made internally this morning, the sources added. Sheahan is running for Ohio’s 9th Congressional District, currently represented by Democrat Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who assumed office in 1983 and is the longest serving woman in Congress. Kaptur was re-elected in November 2024, despite many of the counties in the district voting in favor of President Donald Trump that year.
“No Excuses. Let’s Get It Done,” read a message on Sheahan’s campaign website. “Former ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan is fighting to protect American jobs, American paychecks, and American values in Ohio’s 9th Congressional District.”
“For too long, Northwest Ohio has been represented by a career politician who has grown comfortable with the swamp and disconnected from the people back home,” Sheahan said in a statement. “I am running because President Trump deserves a Congress that stands firmly behind his agenda, and Ohio deserves an elected Representative that will make America safer, more affordable, and more prosperous.”
TRUMP THREATENS TO INVOKE INSURRECTION ACT IN MINNESOTA IF AGITATORS KEEP ATTACKING FEDERAL OFFICERS
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement Thursday, “I’ve known her for years, she loves her family, Ohio and her country. She will be a great defender of freedom when she goes to Congress.”
“Madison Sheahan is a work horse, strong executor, and terrific leader who led the men and women of ICE to achieve the American people’s mandate to target, arrest, and deport criminal illegal aliens. We wish her all the best,” Noem added.
In a statement Thursday to Fox News Digital, the Kaptur campaign said, “While Republicans from near and far will fight through a messy primary in this district they gerrymandered again just this fall, Congresswoman Kaptur is focused on delivering real results for her constituents.”
“She’s working to lower costs for working families, protect access to affordable health care, and bring transformative investments to Northwest Ohio. Voters are tired of the self-dealing corruption and culture of lawlessness they’ve seen over the last year. They want a leader focused on affordability and real results, and Marcy Kaptur consistently works across the aisle to deliver both,” her campaign added.
Sheahan’s campaign website describes her as, “a senior government executive and national leader in public administration, law enforcement, and political operations, most recently serving as Deputy Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
DEPUTY ICE DIRECTOR WARNS OF ‘HISTORIC NUMBER’ OF THREATS AGAINST AGENTS
“In this role, she led one of the nation’s largest federal law enforcement agencies, overseeing strategy and execution in support of border security, interior enforcement, and the rule of law,” the website said. “Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, Sheahan was entrusted with helping guide ICE through a period of historic transformation.”
“During her tenure, the agency expanded from roughly 20,000 employees and a $10 billion budget into an $85 billion organization of more than 30,000 professionals. Most notably, Sheahan managed the hiring of 12,000 new law enforcement officers within 180 days,” it also said.
A biography of Sheahan on ICE’s website said, “Prior to serving as ICE’s deputy director, Ms. Sheahan served as the Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, overseeing a $280 million budget and leading a team of over 800 employees across the wildlife, fisheries, and enforcement divisions.”

“Prior to serving the State of Louisiana alongside Governor Landry, Ms. Sheahan worked for former South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem in various leadership positions,” it added.
13 members of Silent Generation seek to extend congressional careers at advanced age
While some prominent elderly members of the House of Representatives and Senate have announced that they will not pursue re-election, others in the 80 or older age bracket are aiming to keep their jobs even longer.
Out of 24 figures from the Silent Generation serving in Congress, 13 have opted to run again in 2026, according to a review by NBC News. The outlet appears to be including Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, of Washington, D.C., in that tally of 13.
NBC News assesses that the 119th Congress is the third-oldest in U.S. history. A few of the senators in the batch of two dozen lawmakers have terms that stretch beyond this year, so they have time to decide on their political futures.

It seems to remain unclear whether Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., will run again. The congressman has said he will decide in the coming weeks, according to NBC.
“I don’t know what the Silent Generation is. I didn’t know that we were silent,” Sen. Jim Risch, R-Idaho quipped, according to the outlet. “You got to like the job, and you got to have enough time to spend with your family, and you got to have your health, and if you’ve got your health, and you’re doing what you want to do, why not?”
The senator will turn 83 later this year and would be 89 by the end of another six-year Senate term.
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., will turn 88 later this year prior to Election Day.

Driver of U-Haul truck that entered LA Iran protest crowd speaks out
The driver of a U-Haul truck that drove through protesters demonstrating against the Iranian regime in Los Angeles on Sunday claims that police waved him onto the street full of protesters, and that he had never meant to hurt anyone.
Calor Madanescht, 48, was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department on suspicion of reckless driving following the incident.
“I had no intention to hit anybody,” Madanescht told FOX11 Los Angeles.
Madanescht said an LAPD officer waved him onto the avenue, where he intended to join the protest. However, he claims a pro-Shah group began to attack him.

“I was really afraid for my life,” he said, adding that some protesters helped clear a path so he could drive away. “They were telling me, ‘Go, go,’ and they opened the path, as you see in the video.”
Video online appears to show the U-Haul truck moving quickly through a dense crowd as people screamed along Veteran Avenue near the Federal Building in the Westwood neighborhood. A banner on the side of the truck read, in all capital letters, “NO SHAH. NO REGIME. USA: DON’T REPEAT 1953. NO MULLAH.”
“All I want is peace and human rights for everyone in Iran and for minorities,” Madanescht said.
GRAHAM SUGGESTS TRUMP ‘HELP’ IRAN PROTESTERS WITH ‘MILITARY, CYBER AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ATTACKS’ AGAINST REGIME
Madanescht said that once he pulled over, other demonstrators began to attack him. He showed the outlet a bandaged hand, a cut on his ear, bruises and black eyes.
Another video shows the crowd of people running toward the truck and surrounding it as people can be heard chanting at the driver behind the wheel. One member of the crowd climbed onto the truck and stomped on its windshield. Others stuck flagpoles through an open passenger-side window, appearing to jab the suspect.
During Madanescht’s interview with the outlet, two men who were at the protest gave their accounts of what happened.

“They kept punching him, hitting him,” said one of the men, identified as Mehdi. “They broke the window, kicked the truck, assaulted him, and he has a right to free speech.”
The other man questioned Madanescht’s claim that LAPD had waved him onto a street that was occupied by demonstrators.
But Madanescht maintained that his intentions for being at the protest were only peaceful.
“The reality is I peacefully came, cooperated with LAPD, and I’m deeply grateful for them,” he said. “They deserve the highest praise for putting their lives on the line to save mine.”
The protest comes amid ongoing unrest in Iran, where demonstrations that began over economic grievances have spread nationwide, evolving into a direct challenge to Iran’s clerical leadership.

The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), which tracks human rights violations in Iran, said at least 18,470 people have been arrested and confirmed the deaths of 2,615 individuals. HRANA said 2,435 of those killed were protesters, including 13 children under the age of 18.
Famed female athletes divided on judgements of SCOTUS women’s sports hearing
Tuesday’s Supreme Court hearing on trans athletes in women’s sports inspired confidence that the majority of justices will side with the legal defense to “Save Women’s Sports” and uphold state bans against biological males in those sports.
But some activists are far from satisfied with how the hearing was conducted.
Multiple female athletes connected to the case and others who rallied outside the court in support of the cultural movement told Fox News Digital their reactions to the hearing, the arguments and the justices’ questions.

Reactions to the hearing among those women ranged from hopeful optimism for a landmark ruling to jaded disappointment due to the stances and word choice of the justices:
The Defendants
Madison Kenyan
Kenyan, a former Idaho State women’s cross-country and track runner, is a voluntary defendant in the Little v. Hecox case, which she decided to join after having to compete against a trans athlete her freshman year in 2019.
“It filled me with excitement and hope for future generations. There should never be a question about states’ rights to protect women’s athletics. I’m glad to see so many people stand up and support something as simple and true as that.”
Mary Kate Marshall
Marshall was Kenyan’s teammate at Idaho State and had to experience competing against the trans athlete with Kenyan, and then joined the case alongside her teammate.
“It is always sad to see the people who have been deceived by the lie that men can become women. No amount of hormones can do that. I remain hopeful that more people will see biological reality for what it is: true and unchanging.”
Lainey Armistead
Armistead,a former team captain for the West Virginia State University women’s soccer team, intervened in defense of West Virginia’s sports law in B.P.J. v. West Virginia case.
“It has been a long journey to make it to the Supreme Court, so it was incredibly meaningful to me to see the argument in person. It was an awesome experience, and I’m really hopeful that the court will protect women’s sports.”
INSIDE THE SCOTUS HEARING BOUND TO BE A TURNING POINT IN THE CULTURE WAR OVER TRANS ATHLETES IN WOMEN’S SPORTS
The Protesters
Brooke Slusser
Slusser, a former women’s volleyball co-captain at San Jose State University, sued the NCAA, Mountain West Conference and representatives of her school after discovering a teammate she roomed with and changed with was a biological male in 2024. Her story garnered immense media attention during an election-season news cycle and has prompted a federal investigation into the school.
“It was definitely surreal,” Slusser said of Tuesday’s event, and she is eagerly awaiting resolution on the case, adding that “the unknowing of what’s going to happen next and not getting an answer yet,” is hard for her.
Stephanie Turner
Turner, a competitive women’s fencer, became an overnight sensation in the “Save Women’s Sports” movement when footage went viral of her kneeling to protest a trans opponent at a competition last spring. She was disqualified by USA Fencing for refusing to face the opponent and hasn’t competed in USA Fencing since.
“Let me say I was a little disappointed that not that there weren’t any very strong stances from the Supreme Court justices on language, and that they were capitulating to new age terms like cisgender.”
Payton McNabb
McNabb suffered permanent brain damage when she was spiked in the head with a volleyball by a trans athlete during a North Carolina high school match in 2022. McNabb has since become one of the leading activists in the movement and was honored by President Donald Trump’s 2025 joint address to congress.
“There was a time not that long ago when many women were afraid to speak up about this issue. Now, to see it taken seriously at the highest level and to see people no longer afraid to stand up for women and girls was incredibly powerful. It reminded me how far this movement has come and why continuing to speak out matters so much.
“The hardest part was realizing that we have sitting Supreme Court justices who cannot define what a woman is. To me, that strips away credibility. How can someone serve on the highest court in the country and not understand basic biological reality? The fact that defining ‘woman’ has even reached the Supreme Court, and that we don’t know how it will turn out, is astonishing and pathetic.”
Kaitlynn Wheeler
Wheeler is a former University of Kentucky swimmer who had to face transgender UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas in the 2022 NCAA championships.
“What hit me the hardest was how little anyone talked about the girls impacted. During the oral arguments, it was nonstop about men and boys, their feelings, their experiences, their access and the girls who Title IX was literally written for were basically an afterthought. And that’s sick to me.
“Then there is this push to reduce women down to a circulating testosterone threshold, like that’s all we are. As if womanhood can be boiled down to a lab result. That’s insulting. Women are not a hormone level. We are complex. We are different, and we deserve protections because of that not in spite of it.”
Macy Petty
Petty, a former women’s volleyball player at Lee University who had to face a transgender opponent during her college career, is now a legislative strategist for the Concerned Women of America.
“Yesterday’s events proved that the movement to protect and promote opportunities for women in sports isn’t just a flash reaction to insanity, we’ve cemented ourselves as a legacy. One of my biggest takeaways was seeing the history we’ve built, and continue to build.
“Some of the involved athletes have been in this for nearly a decade, and many of the thought leaders even long before that. Yet still, the coalition continues to grow and new athletes are standing up daily.”
Sophia Lorey
Lorey, a former women’s soccer player at Vaguard University, is currently the outreach director for the California Family Council and has been on the front lines of bringing awareness to the issue of trans athletes in girls’ sports in California – the nation’s biggest hotbed of incidents.
“I was disappointed that the hearing so often centered on the desires of males rather than the rights and safety of women and girls, the very people this debate is supposed to protect. Justice Alito stood out by grounding the discussion in reality, asking the most basic question: what is a man and what is a woman?
“When the ACLU attorney admitted she could not even define what a man or a woman is, it exposed how detached from reality this entire argument has become. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s reference to sex being ‘assigned at birth’ was especially concerning.
“While some justices appeared willing to concede women’s rights through language and abstraction, such as when Justice Amy Coney Barrett adopted terms like ‘trans girls’, I believe science, Title IX, and the Constitution are on the side of women and girls, and that truth will ultimately prevail.”

Kaylie Ray
Ray is a former women’s volleyball player at Utah State, and was part of the team that forfeited to San Jose State in 2024 to avoid facing Slusser’s transgender teammate.
“I think it’s unfortunate that some of the liberal-leaning justices were very ideological in their questioning, almost as if they are looking for rationalizations and justifications for allowing this injustice to continue. I don’t feel this should be a left or right issue, this is a women’s issue.
“And the truth is simple: men do not belong in women’s sports or spaces. It’s also disheartening to know that we have a sitting justice who doesn’t know or could not define what a woman is. Still, I am hopeful though that the court will rule in favor of upholding the bans.”

Real estate giant reveals the salary needed to buy a home in America’s cheapest cities
Many of the most affordable metros, with the lowest income requirements, are located in the Midwest and parts of the South, with the cheapest city sitting in Pennsylvania.
Pittsburgh, according to a report from Realtor.com, is considered the most affordable metro in the nation with a median listing price of $245,000. To afford a home in the area, residents will need an annual salary of $65,000, making it one of the lowest income requirements.
As affordability pressures persist, Realtor.com identified the 10 least expensive cities that require household incomes below $85,000 to purchase a home.
HOUSING EXPERT WARNS PRE-PANDEMIC AFFORDABILITY LEVELS MAY NEVER RETURN IN AMERICA
The most affordable regions all have similarities, such as more abundant land, more new construction, and a lower cost of living, all of which keep home prices from surging as much as they have in markets on the East and West coasts and in the Sun Belt, according to Realtor.com senior economic research analyst Hannah Jones.
TRUMP HOUSING PLAN COULD BRING ‘BIG WIN’ FOR AMERICANS, PULTE SAYS
In Pittsburgh, a household earning $65,000 could afford a $1,630 monthly housing payment, which includes a mortgage assuming a 6.19% interest rate, as well as property taxes and insurance.
To put this in perspective, to afford the November national median list price of $415,000, a buyer would need to earn 70% more than they would in Pittsburgh.
ESCROW PAYMENTS RISING NATIONWIDE WITH HOMEOWNERSHIP LESS ATTAINABLE
Here are other affordable metros and the income needed to buy a home in each, according to Realtor.com data:

Jon Stewart calls out the Clintons for defying House subpoenas in Epstein investigation
“The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart said Wednesday during his podcast that former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should “absolutely” comply with their congressional subpoenas.
Stewart answered an audience question about whether the Clintons should comply with the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Both Clintons defied subpoenas to appear before the committee this week.
“I absolutely do,” he said. “But why should they comply if the Department of Justice is not complying with releasing the files? Like, is compliance a kind of specialized individual indigenous opportunity, or should it be universal? I mean the Department of Justice has subpoenaed them to testify in the Jeffrey Epstein case while not complying with releasing the files.”
“So how does that comport in any — but do I personally think they should comply? Abso-f—ing-lutely. Absolutely,” Stewart said during his “Weekly Show” podcast.
TOP GOP CHAIR ISSUES STARK WARNING TO CLINTONS IF THEY DEFY DEPOSITIONS IN EPSTEIN INVESTIGATION
“And if they’ve got something to hide or an affair, like yes, we should know about all this,” Stewart continued. “This is bonkers, how long this is going on. But absolutely, they should comply and the Department of Justice should comply, and these victims of this heinous case should finally get some of the justice and peace that they deserve.”
The Clintons did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The House Oversight Committee, not the Department of Justice (DOJ), subpoenaed the Clintons to testify.
Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., confirmed to reporters Wednesday that the Clintons would face punishment.
“The [Epstein estate] complied with our lawful subpoena. [Former Attorney General Bill Barr and former Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta] came in and were deposed because of our lawful subpoenas. This same lawful subpoena was issued to the Clintons, and they defied it,” Comer said.
REPUBLICAN HOUSE LEADER SIGNALS PLAN TO BEGIN CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON
The Clintons’ attorneys criticized Comer’s leadership of the investigation in their letter, discounting the subpoenas.
“President and Secretary Clinton have already provided the limited information they possess about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to the Committee,” the lawyers said.
“Your continued insistence that the former President and Secretary of State can be compelled to appear before the Committee under these circumstances, however, brings us toward a protracted and unnecessary legal confrontation that distracts from the principal work of the Congress with respect to this matter, which, if conducted sincerely, could help ensure the victims of Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell are afforded some measure of justice for the crimes perpetrated against them, however late. But perhaps distraction is the point.”

Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which President Donald Trump signed in November, the DOJ was required “to publish (in a searchable and downloadable format) all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in DOJ’s possession that relate to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.”
The DOJ said in a letter to U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York earlier this month that “there are more than 2 million documents potentially responsive to the Act that are in various phases of review.”
So far, the DOJ has released approximately 12,285 documents comprising around 125,575 pages, which is less than 1% of all records potentially related to the case, according to Axios. While there are numerous files remaining, the DOJ said it believes “a meaningful portion” of the documents are duplicates.

Violent anti-ICE message spray-painted on vehicle amid Minneapolis unrest
Minneapolis agitators vandalized and spray-painted a threatening anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) message onto a vehicle believed to be used by federal officers during unrest on Wednesday, video footage from the scene shows.
The incident came after the Department of Homeland Security said an ICE agent shot an illegal immigrant from Venezuela in the leg after an alleged shovel attack during an ambush.
The video shows a vandal spraying “Only good agent is a dead one” in red paint across the side of the vehicle. It does not appear anyone was inside the vehicle at the time.

A separate “f— ICE” message was also spray-painted on the vehicle. Its driver’s window appeared smashed, with the vehicle’s exterior showing signs of heavy damage, including torn panels and loose materials hanging from the body.
“This is what you get when you come to Minneapolis,” one man can be heard saying as the vandal defaces the vehicle. At least two other vehicles were damaged.
Scores of demonstrators gathered at the scene, shouting expletives at federal agents and demanding they leave the city, the Minnesota Reformer reported. As tensions escalated, federal agents deployed tear gas and flash bangs to disperse the crowd, while some protesters shot fireworks and other projectiles toward law enforcement during the chaos.
ICE AGENT STRUCK BY RENEE GOOD’S VEHICLE SUFFERED INTERNAL BLEEDING TO TORSO, DHS SAYS
According to the outlet, at least two people were detained after fireworks were thrown. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the crowd crossed the line into an unlawful assembly, prompting assistance from the Minnesota State Patrol and the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office. Mayor Jacob Frey renewed his call for residents to remain peaceful and not “take the bait.”
During the earlier shooting incident, DHS said the agent fired after fearing for his life during a physical struggle in which the suspect, an illegal alien from Venezuela, resisted arrest and assaulted the officer.
DHS said federal officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis around 6:50 p.m. when the suspect fled in his vehicle, crashed into a parked car and ran on foot. An officer caught up to the suspect, who continued to resist arrest and assault the officer, according to DHS.
During the struggle, two additional individuals allegedly joined in, attacking the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. DHS said the agent, fearing for his life while being attacked by three people, fired a defensive shot, striking the suspect in the leg.
All three individuals fled into an apartment and barricaded themselves before being taken into custody. The officer and the suspect were transported to the hospital, DHS said.

Authorities said the man’s injuries were not life-threatening.
Anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis have escalated in recent days following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good last week during a federal immigration enforcement operation.
