From the New York Post:
The Department of Homeland Security said the suspects — Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledzema — were all in the country illegally, and are now in ICE custody.
“What we saw last night in Minneapolis was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement. Our officer was ambushed and attacked by three individuals who beat him with snow shovels and the handles of brooms. Fearing for his life, the officer fired a defensive shot,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement.
“Mayor [Jacob] Frey and Governor [Tim] Walz have to get their city under control. They are encouraging impeding and assault against our law enforcement which is a federal crime, a felony. This is putting the people of Minnesota in harm’s way.”
As the Post notes, protests have raged in Minneapolis since January 7, where an ICE agent was forced to shoot a protestor who tried to run him over with her car. Unfortunately, this protestor, Renee Good, lost her life in this conflict, sparking nationwide outage aimed at ICE, the DHS, and the Trump administration.
This incident has also led to conflict between President Trump and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who, according to The Daily Signal, threatened to deploy the Minnesota National Guard to protect Minnesotans from “rogue” ICE agents. President Trump, meanwhile, has responded to this threat and the increasing violence against federal officers by threating to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy the military in Minnesota.
As The Daily Signal notes, protests in Minneapolis have featured demonstrators throwing rocks and shooting fireworks at law enforcement. As dangerous protests continue, let’s pray for the protection and safety of ICE!

Father, there is no problem we could have, no situation we could face , there is no situarion that could not be found in Your Word or words from the Holy Spirit. We pray for our government leaders, just as we pray give us Words You want us to pray, help the interessors to stay engaged and allow us to pray words of wisdom with revelation. God, we are facing many things during these next years with President Trump and His family. There are lots of people that have moved into many different states in America, that have a different Belief and are building many different churches that defies our Christian beliefs. Wake up the Christians keeping them from wrong Strategies, wrong decisions, show them how to keep from a Anti-Christ Spirit that is determined to gain power. Give us guided breakthroughs over anti- spititual giants in America that is trying to change us who misuse and abuse their power that must be restrained. We bind the demonic influences that is trying to abuse our states and pushing for their authority to give them reign over us. GOD has given us Word prayers to stand and be strong that these prayers would show JESUS as our KING and SAVIOR NOT a fighting dark spiritual war waged sinners that believe in many war waged policy if you are not a Muslim. This religious duty from them is a major struggle and devotion to Islam. As we pray for our leaders facing local, state and many challenges in law enforcement, lawsuits regarding Islam and its impacton our nation. We declare that God will raise up righteous leadership all across our nation. America was made by God for us HIS children. We decree legislation will be passed to promote through our prayers to bring about true justice. We use GODS Holy Words from the BIBLE not a QURAN! The Quaran was copied and came after the Bible from the MUSlims that is a comprehensive philosophy. Our stance as American Christians we do not believe in the Quran. We believe in GOD as a TRINITY (FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT) the Islam emphasizes there is absolute oneness of Allah. I know satan thinks he pulls many tricks trying to fool us us by the tricks of sin. this is one solid reason why we must be aware of what is happening in America. imagine a nation where government abuses are done to the wives and get by with it. A scripture to share–Psalm 9-19-20 ” ARISE, OH LORD:LET NOT MAN PREVAIL-LET THE HEATHEN BE JUDGED IN THY SIGHT. PUT THEM IN FEAR, O LORD, O LORD: AS we pray that the demonic agenda behind such groups of Muslims will be restrained and unable to operate in their beliefs. PRAY ZECHARIAH 10-2 WE must ask God as we pray and guide us to bring the Holy Ghoast and fire as in Acts 2-
Dear Lord, Hear our prayers for the ICE officers and other elected & appointed officials. I pray for their safety and for bravery as they go out to perform a thankless job. Have them know that they appointed by you as they follow the mandates of our government which is appointed by you. Romans 13: 1 – 6. Please Lord, provide supernatural protections over our officers and let feel the love and respect of the majority of us, who disdain this violence and hateful actions and spoken words as well. I pray this in Jesus’ name.
Lord, please pour the Holy Spirit out on our ICE agent. Please build a hedge of protection around them, protecting them from all harm. I pray that you will give them wisdom, guidance and courage as they do their job.
I am in agreement with every prayer said here LORD INTERVENE AND STOP THIS MADNESS WHATEVER IT TAKES..YOU ARE SOVREIGN AND YOU KNOW ALL.
LET ALL CHRISTIANS PRAY AND FAST FOR AN END TO ALL OF IT..LET PASTORS LEAD THEIR CONGREGATIONS IN PRAYER AND FASTING….LET ALL INTERCESSORS RISE UP AND PRAY
Ps. 46
God bless, protect,heal, deliverAll the ICE agents. May ALL The Truth be revealed in any issues. Praying for Jesus to speak directly to each ICE agent and for Jesus’s Warrior Angels to protect, and consume any item that would hurt them!!!
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling there of, There is a river, the streams where of shall make glad the city of God, the Holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and THAT right early. The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved; God uttered His voice, the earth melted. The Lord of Hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge. Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolation he hath made in the earth. He make th wars to cease unto the ends of the earth; God breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he Burnett the chariot in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen. I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us: the God of Jacob is our refuge, Selah. Amen
So May all ICE men, see Jesus moving Extremely, Extravagantly, Extraordinary, more then they know, to protect, heal, deliver, restore, strengthen and they understand how much Jesus LOVES them Amen
As a Minnesotan and an Intercessor, we call out for God’s angels to surround these brave ICE agents. We pray for our Governor Walz, Mpls Mayor Frey, to turn from their evil and wicked ways and agendas. We pray for them to stop encouraging people to fight ICE. We pray that others will stop publishing the whereabouts of the ICE officers. It is tough to see the evil and destruction in our cities of MN, BUT GOD! We know and trust in Him and His plan and His timing, as we continue our prayers. Thank you Father God for all you are doing to clean out evil in this state. Amen and Amen.
Lord Jesus, I pray that You will put a supernatural shield of protection around each and every ICE agent, especially the ones who are in Minneapolis. Please allow them the opportunity to do the job that they are there to do. It would seem that President Trump will have to invoke the Insurrection Act. The way that ICE agents have been treated by “protesters” (really, illegals with no sense of right and wrong) is very wrong. As long as these thugs are allowed to live in our country, we are living in danger, They MUST be rounded up, and deported, period! Law and order MUST prevail in our nation. Thank you , Lord Jesus.
Father You said that whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven so we bind every evil spirit that opposes our law enforcement anywhere in our nation. We know that You have given us this authority and that whatever we bind or loose on earth that all of heaven backs it! So we loose Your peace and submission to law and order in our nation!
We say that our law enforcement is protected and backed by all of heaven as they work to restore what the enemy has tried to steal! Send Your warring angels to fight with our law enforcement, including ICE!!
We pray for Your righteousness and peace to prevail in America, Israel, Iran – salvation for EVERY nation! In the Name of Jesus! 🙏🇺🇸
The title of this article is misleading and wrong, a lie! It implies that an ICE Agent is facing attempted murder charges. I know it may have come from the New York Post, but as a Christian we print Truth. The Article should have prefaced with The New York Post heading says…..FATHER GOD please send YOUR angels to surround and protect all of our ICE and other Federal Agents from all hurt harm and danger in JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!
Father God, i pray for your mercy even the more, for America.
I pray for justice and righteousness to rule in our land again as never before. Only You Lord can change the hearts of man. Take off the blinders, that they may see the truth. In the name of Jesus, amen.
