Federal agents believed to be involved in crash outside St. Paul cafe

Authorities are at the scene of a multi-vehicle crash reportedly involving federal immigration agents Wednesday morning in St. Paul's Cathedral Hill neighborhood.

The crash has been reported outside Nina's Coffee Cafe at Western and Selby avenues, with at least one of the vehicles involved believed to contain federal agents, according to early information provided to Bring Me The News.

As dozens of federal agents and some St. Paul police officers responded to the scene around 10 a.m. Wednesday, MPR News was able to confirm that three cars were damaged in the crash, and at least one person was injured and taken away by ambulance.

One of the vehicles involved has Texas plates. ICE agents have commonly been seen with non-Minnesota plates on vehicles while conducting operations during the ongoing immigration crackdown.

Agents were chasing someone at the time of the crash, the Minnesota Reformer reported in its newsletter Wednesday morning, with video from the scene suggesting the injured party was the person being chased.
