Border Patrol shooting near US-Mexico border leaves suspect in critical condition

A suspected smuggler was critically injured after a shooting incident involving U. S. Border Patrol agents near the Arizona border. The man reportedly opened fire on a federal helicopter during an attempt to evade arrest following a traffic stop.

Federal immigration agents sit in their car during an operation by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol in St. Paul, Minnesota, on January 27, 2026. On January 24, federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, while scuffling with him on an icy roadway in Minneapolis, less than three weeks after an immigration officer fired on Renee Good, also 37, killing her in her car. The fatal shootings has reignited accusations that federal agents enforcing US President Donald Trump's militarized immigration crackdown are inexperienced, under-trained and operating outside law enforcement norms.
