People have joked that ICE officers 'can't handle the ice' after a video of an officer slipping has gone viral.

ICE officers have been deployed to various parts of the US in recent months but it's their work in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that's now made news headlines across the globe.

On January 7, an ICE officer fatally shot a 37-year-old mom who was behind the wheel of her car. Some have alleged that the woman, who has been named publicly as Renee Nicole Good, tried to mow down an officer but others have insisted that she was simply trying to drive away.

The agent who shot Good has now been identified as Jonathan Ross. The 43-year-old lives in Minneapolis and is believed to have been part of ICE since 2015. Ross, who served in Iraq in 2004 and 2005, is also a member of the local SWAT team and the FBI's anti-terrorism task force.

Vice President JD Vance has said that Ross has 'absolute immunity' when it comes to any criminal charges.

It's not just Ross that has been the subject of scrutiny from American citizens, but all ICE officers — particularly those in Minneapolis at the moment.

One member of the public was filming the moment an ICE officer ran towards anti-ICE protestors who were shouting things when they slipped on a patch of ice, sparking applause and laughter from everyone who saw it.

The moment was caught on camera and posted online. At the time of writing, the viral clip has been upvoted 55,000 times on Reddit.

Reacting to the video, one Redditor wrote: "The pure JOY of the bystanders is excellent. They needed that laugh!"

"Ice assaulting ice," quipped another.

A third added: "He couldn’t have possibly looked like more of an idiot. This is perfect. It’s just too bad we can’t see his face."

It was also hailed as a 'classic blunder' for someone to attempt to run in Minnesota this time of year.

Elsewhere, people questioned why the officer was running in the first place.

Noting this, one user said: "Who was this guy even chasing after? Was he trying to tackle someone and then decided it wasn't worth it out of embarrassment?"

Another questioned: "What exactly was he attempting? To intimidate and terrorize."

"Whatever made him run wasn’t that important, I guess," suggested a different person, as someone else added: "I don’t understand, what the hell was he planning on doing?"

I guess we'll never know...
