Stephen Miller accuses Democrats of siding with 'terrorists' after Minneapolis Border Patrol-involved shooting

The 37-year-old man allegedly approached agents during an apparent operation and then "violently resisted," while armed with a 9mm pistol and two magazines, leading to the shooting.

He later responded to a social media post from Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., calling for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to leave Minneapolis and for Congress to cut its funding.

"An assassin tried to murder federal agents and this is your response," Miller replied.

"The results of your state's policies and politicians' anti-law enforcement rhetoric are a national tragedy. Violence against ICE officers and agents has increased approximately 1,300 percent," she wrote. "Vehicular attacks against ICE officers have increased 3,200%. … You and your office must restore the rule of law, support ICE officers, and bring an end to the chaos in Minnesota."
