   DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the protests against ICE and   
   Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis have gotten so chaotic that   
   protesters are now apparently biting the fingers off of federal   
   officers.   
      
   McLaughlin shared a couple of unsettling pictures on X on Saturday   
   afternoon, including one where a Homeland Security agent’s right   
   ring finger is bloody and mutilated.   
      
   The spokeswoman said the agent’s finger was “bit off” by one of two   
   “rioters” she took a picture of, although she did not mention which   
   of the men allegedly attacked the agent.   
      
   “He will lose his finger,” McLaughlin said.   
      
   She included another image showing the agent’s severed finger inside   
   a plastic cup at a hospital.

   Her post came just a few hours after 37-year-old protester Alex   
   Pretti — identified by Minnesota Star Tribune — was shot and killed   
   by a Border Patrol agent on Saturday morning in Minneapolis. That   
   shooting sparked more protests against immigration agents, adding   
   to several protests that have already taken place this month after   
   the shooting death of Renee Good by ICE.   
      
   Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino told reporters that Pretti   
   “approached” agents with a 9 mm handgun while they were attempting   
   to apprehend a violent illegal immigrant from Ecuador.   
      
   “The agents attempted to disarm the individual, but he violently   
   resisted. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow   
   officers a Border Patrol agent fired defensive shots,” Bovino said.   
      
   He added a moment later, “The suspect also had two loaded magazines   
   and no accessible ID. This looks like a situation where an individual   
   wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”   
      
   During a different press conference, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey   
   (D) urged President Donald Trump to abort his crackdown on illegal   
   immigration in Minnesota following the shooting.   
      
   Fox News reporter Steve Harrigan reported from the streets of   
   Minneapolis soon after and said the tear gas that immigration agents   
   were using was “completely ineffective” at getting protesters to   
   comply. He said it was only leading to “more turmoil.”
