St. Paul Woman Charged with Assaulting Homeland Security Agent
MINNEAPOLIS – A Minnesota federal grand jury has returned a true bill of indictment charging Claire Louise Feng, 27, with inflicting bodily injury on a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agent on January 24, 2026, United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen announced today.
According to court documents, on January 24, 2026, CBP and HSI officers were attempting to establish and maintain a secure perimeter near Nicollet Avenue, between 27th and 28th St. in Minneapolis, following an officer-involved shooting.
While a CBP officer attempted to arrest an individual who threw a chemical canister toward deployed federal law enforcement officers, Feng tackled the CBP officer. In response, a HSI special agent took Feng to the ground. As the HSI special agent gained control of Feng, she forcibly bit his right ring finger, severing the tip of his right ring finger, leaving the bone exposed.
The case is being investigated by the Department of Homeland Security, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations. An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent.
Claire Louise Feng, 27, is charged with inflicting bodily injury on a federal law enforcement officer. The crime carries significant penalties, including up to 8 years in prison and fines.
Prosecutors are seeking justice for the victim, who suffered a severe injury during the altercation. The case highlights the dangers faced by law enforcement officers in the line of duty.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to work closely with federal agencies to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
