The action occurred amid widespread anti-ICE protests in Minnesota following the Jan. 7 shooting death of Renee Good by an ICE agent; local Democrats, including Gov. Tim Walz, have supported protesters and encouraged filming ICE operations, while the article says DHS Secretary Kristi Noem warned that filming can endanger agents. The administration has deployed roughly 1,000 additional immigration officers to Minnesota and has about 1,500 troops on standby in case the insurrection Act is invoked. the article also cites Department of homeland Security figures saying assaults on ICE agents and related attacks and threats have surged as Trump took office, and notes Trump and his Cabinet have defended the agent&#8217;s actions and blamed the &#8220;Radical Left&#8221; for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/press-buries-the-story-of-extremists-trying-to-murder-ice-agents\/\" title=\"Press Buries The Story Of Extremists Trying To Murder ...\">targeting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/d-c-mayor-congress-must-open-a-probe-into-security-failures-at-u-s-capitol\/\" title=\"D.C.

She then accelerated forward and hit the officer, prompting shots to be fired.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and his Cabinet have maintained that the officer acted in self-defense.
