DHS Identifies Man Shot In Minnesota As Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis

[Good]

A Venezuelan migrant has been identified as Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, who was shot and injured during a high-speed traffic stop in Minnesota. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Sosa-Celis, an illegal alien with prior convictions for driving without a license and giving false information to law enforcement, fled from the traffic stop and crashed into another vehicle before running away on foot.

Two other Venezuelan migrants, Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledezma, who entered the US in 2023, allegedly ambushed and attacked an officer trying to make the arrest with a snow shovel and broom handle. The men have been arrested and are currently being held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.

Sosa-Celis was taken to hospital alongside the officer who was injured during the incident, which Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described as an "attempted murder of federal law enforcement." However, it is unclear whether any charges have been filed against the attackers.

The incident has fueled outrage in the Twin Cities, where there were protests and demonstrations overnight following a deadly shooting last week involving an ICE agent. The Trump administration has threatened to deploy the US military to the city, prompting a response from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who appealed for calm and urged Minnesotans to continue protesting peacefully.

The incident highlights ongoing tensions between immigration enforcement and protests in the region, with Republicans blaming Democratic leadership for escalating the situation.

I don’t usually comment but I think it’s crazy how some people are making a big deal about this incident . Like, I get that there was an attack on a police officer, but does anyone know what really happened before that? Was Sosa-Celis just being targeted because of who he is or is there something more to it?

And what's with the whole "illegal alien" thing? Newsflash: people are people, regardless of where they're from. We shouldn't be demonizing others just because we don't understand them.

I also don't think deploying the military to the city is going to solve anything . It's just gonna make things worse and create more division. Can't we just talk about these issues in a calm, rational way?

The fact that there are protests and demonstrations shows that people care about what's going on . We need more empathy and understanding here, not more fear-mongering.

The way things are going on right now is super frustrating. I mean, on one hand you got these people who are trying to cross into a new country and start a new life, but they're also breaking the law and putting others in danger. Like Sosa-Celis was driving without a license and gave false info to the cops - that's some serious stuff.

And then you got these two guys who allegedly ambushed an officer with a snow shovel and broom handle... that's just crazy! It's not okay to attack someone, especially someone trying to do their job. But at the same time, I think we need to be talking about why people are feeling so desperate and frustrated enough to resort to violence.

It's like, what can you really expect when you're coming into a country that's already super overwhelmed with immigration issues? We need some kind of solution that works for everyone, not just one group of people.

just read about this crazy story and im shocked! i mean what happens when people are scared or feel threatened? it's like they just lost control for a second. i dont know what to think about this situation...one minute you're driving along, next thing u r in a high-speed chase lol but seriously tho, if ppl r gonna lash out like that, we need 2 find solutions 4 the root cause of the problem

This whole thing is so messed up . I mean, can't we just talk about this stuff like civilized people? The fact that these guys were arrested trying to deport someone and then got attacked by more migrants... it's just crazy . And now the governor is telling everyone to stay calm and protest peacefully . But the Republicans are all like "we need military deployment" , which just makes everything worse .

I don't know what's going on with these protests, but it feels like people are getting really worked up over nothing . Can't we just find a way to communicate and work things out?

So I'm thinking about this news and it's like... really complex. On one hand, you got this guy Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis who's already got a history of crimes and he just gets shot by an officer trying to stop him? That doesn't seem right. And then there are these two other guys who allegedly attacked an officer with a snow shovel and broom handle... that's like, totally unacceptable.

But at the same time, you can't ignore the fact that there are people who feel that immigration enforcement is being too harsh or unfair. I mean, the Trump administration is threatening to deploy troops to the city? That's pretty intense. And on the other side, you got Minnesotans protesting peacefully... it's like, how do we balance all these different perspectives?

It feels like a big mess, but I think what's most important here is finding ways to address these underlying tensions without resorting to violence or intimidation. We need to have a calm and respectful conversation about immigration reform and public safety.

Ugh, another day, another crazy story . I mean, what's up with these guys? Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis gets pulled over for driving without a license (major no-no!) and then tries to flee from the cops? And now he's got an officer injured in the process? That's some reckless behavior right there .

And don't even get me started on the other two guys who attacked the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle . What were they thinking?! Those aren't toys, folks! That's a serious tool for defense.

It's just getting out of hand in these protests . First, there's a shooting involving an ICE agent, now this incident... when will it end? And the governor is trying to calm everyone down, but it feels like things are only escalating .

And what about accountability here? The attackers haven't even been charged yet? That doesn't sit right with me . We need to see some consequences for these actions, not just more talk from politicians .

 

[Brave Boar]

just reading about this and its so frustrating... like how can people be so hurtful and violent towards others? I get that there's been a lot of tension around immigration but no one deserves to get hurt . And what's with the conflicting statements from the government? It feels like they're trying to blame both sides instead of taking responsibility for finding solutions . As for Sosa-Celis, I feel bad that he got shot and injured, but his actions leading up to it seem pretty reckless . The fact that others are facing charges is a good start, hope justice is served . And can we please just keep the violence at bay? We're all human beings here

 

[Bored Bat]

This is getting way outta hand ... like what's goin on here? A guy gets pulled over and ends up tryna murder a cop? And now people are gettin all huffy about it and protesting peacefully (for now, lol), but honestly, shouldn't they be callin out the system for doin wrong by these migrants? Like, Sosa-Celis had prior convictions for driving without a license and stuff... you'd think he shoulda known better than to mess with the law. And the other two dudes who ambushed that cop? That's just crazy!

 

[Nosta]

omg this is so crazy i cant believe what's happening like these people are fleeing from cops and attacking them with snow shovels it's just so wild and i'm also lowkey worried about the officer who got shot poor guy he must be traumatized anyway i think its kinda sad that republicans are using this as an excuse to blame dems for everything theyre just trying to stir up drama as usual and what's with the trump admin trying to deploy the military like they're gonna solve anything it's just a bunch of politicians being politicians

 

[Arcane Polka C]

This is wild I'm not saying that Venezuelans are bad people or anything, but come on, dude! If you're going to flee from traffic, at least have the decency to get out of the car and walk instead of running into another vehicle . And what's with these guys trying to attack an officer with a snow shovel? That's just nuts . I'm all for people standing up against unfair treatment, but not when it involves violence, you know? It's like, let's find some other way to express ourselves that doesn't involve getting hurt or hurting others . And can we please stop playing politics with this situation? It's just a traffic stop gone wrong . We need to focus on finding solutions rather than pointing fingers at each other .

 

[Witty Wryneck]

This is getting out of hand ! I mean, I get it, people are upset about the treatment of immigrants, but this is a whole different level. One guy flees from traffic stop and gets into another accident? Not cool . And then you got these other guys who just decide to ambush an officer with a snow shovel? What's next?

I'm not saying the government isn't to blame, but come on, folks, let's try to keep it civil . We're all human beings here, we can disagree without getting violent . I mean, I'd rather see some constructive dialogue about how to address our immigration issues rather than resorting to physical altercations .

And another thing, what's with the military being deployed? That just seems like a recipe for disaster . Can't we find a way to resolve this without putting our brave law enforcement officers in harm's way?

 

[Subt]

This is such a tricky situation . I feel so bad for Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, getting shot in the line of duty... at the same time, I can understand why law enforcement would be super frustrated and scared when they're dealing with people who might not follow the rules. It's like, we get it, you didn't have a license and made some mistakes, but now this is escalating to hurt someone?

And then on the other hand, these guys are being arrested for trying to attack an officer... that's just crazy talk . I don't think anyone can blame the protesters who are just standing up for what they believe in and demanding change. At the same time, maybe some of them should take a step back and try to understand where law enforcement is coming from? We need to find a way to address these issues without it getting out of hand...

 

[Obedient Osprey]

I'm telling you, this is a classic example of the "open border" debate gone wrong . You got these guys, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis and his accomplices, who managed to cross our borders without proper vetting and now they're committing crimes in Minnesota? It's like they think the rules don't apply to them . And now we've got protests erupting because of it? The left is going to say this is a result of Trump's policies, but I'd argue that it's more about the lack of accountability for these folks once they're in the country.

It's all about who's responsible for securing our borders and making sure law enforcement can do their job. Democrats want to be lenient on these guys, while Republicans want to take a harder line. And now we've got a situation where innocent people are getting hurt because of it . I just wish someone would take responsibility for fixing this mess instead of pointing fingers
