Hours after an ICE agent fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis, a Republican lawmaker claims an anti-ICE agitator tried to force their way inside his Wisconsin office — prompting a domestic terrorism report to the FBI.
U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., shared details about the frightening encounter on X, alleging an "individual fueled by anti-ICE rhetoric" had targeted his Eau Claire office.
"Just hours after ICE officers were violently attacked in Minnesota [Wednesday], our Eau Claire office was targeted by an individual fueled by anti-ICE rhetoric—shouting slurs, pounding on our doors, and attempting to force his way inside," Van Orden wrote in the post.
Grace Kim, Van Orden's communications director, told Fox News Digital footage from their office showed a man banging on the door and calling staff "Nazis."
Messages including "F--- ICE" were written on the suspect's alleged vehicle, which was parked outside Rep. Derrick Van Orden's office. (Office of Rep. Derrick Van Orden)

Van Orden spoke with FBI Director Kash Patel Thursday morning, and reported the incident as domestic terrorism, according to Kim.
No arrests have been made, as of Thursday afternoon.
