Border Patrol Agent Slips During Minneapolis Patrol
A video posted Jan. 11, 2026, shows a federal agent running toward protesters and slipping on ice in Minneapolis; photographic evidence and witness accounts confirm the footage is authentic. Close inspection of the uniform and photographers' testimony indicate the agent was a U.S. Border Patrol (CBP) officer, not an ICE agent, correcting social media misidentification amid deployment of more than 2,000 Department of Homeland Security officers.
