He retired in 2023, and rejoined DHS in 2025 as ICE and Border Patrol surged into areas like the Twin Cities, where he had a 30-day assignment, according to the police report. Shaver is one of several Sandusky, Ohio Border Patrol agents accused in a 2012 lawsuit of racially profiling Latino residents. A federal judge ruled in 2016 their actions did not violate the constitution.
A federal immigration agent deployed to Minnesota accidentally fired his handgun in an Eagan hotel, shooting a bullet through the wall and into the headboard in an adjacent room. Eagan police were dispatched to the Hampton Inn at 3000 Eagandale Place shortly before 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 18 after agent Bradley Shaver, 53, shot his Glock 19 while attempting to change out a part on the handle, according to a police report reviewed by Sahan Journal. The bullet went through the agentβs sweatshirt pocket, through the wall and into the neighboring room, according to the report. The roomβs occupant, Aaron Wukawitz, had just checked into the hotel and was walking down the hallway to his room when he heard the gunshot. He got into his room and heard the federal agent cursing and panicking. A bullet was stuck in the headboard above a bedside table. βThat could have literally killed me,β Wukawitz told Sahan Journal.
