Clashes in LA: Immigration Enforcement Under Fire

A man was shot and a deputy US Marshal injured during an immigration operation in LA. The suspect, who attempted to evade arrest, was shot in the elbow. Activists blame aggressive tactics by federal agents, while ICE reports increasing assaults on officers attributed to activist rhetoric.

Federal officers shot a man in the elbow during an immigration enforcement operation in Los Angeles. A deputy US Marshal was also injured when a ricochet bullet hit him in the hand, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

The confrontation occurred as the man tried to evade arrest by ramming the officers' vehicle with his car during a traffic stop. The man, who entered the US illegally and had previously escaped custody, was hospitalized along with the injured marshal.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin criticized sanctuary politicians and activists for encouraging resistance to arrest. A spokesperson confirmed the marshal's injuries were non-life-threatening, while the Los Angeles police provided traffic control but were not directly involved.
