At least 4 alleged 'anti-ICE agitators' arrested in Minneapolis amid protests, agency says

MINNEAPOLIS (TNND) — Four alleged "anti-ICE agitators" were arrested during protests outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The agency on Friday shared photos of the men on social media.
"Yesterday, law enforcement at Whipple Federal Building faced violent anti-ICE agitators who threw objects, shouted profanities, and endangered the public by pouring water on the roads to create icy, hazardous conditions," ICE wrote on X, as well as Instagram.
"After repeated warnings, 4 agitators were arrested for refusing to disperse and booked on federal charges," according to the posts.
Earlier on Friday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said a dozen people were arrested for assaulting law enforcement the previous night.
"Reminder: it is a federal crime and a FELONY if you lay a finger on law enforcement or destroy federal property," DHS noted on X.
It was not immediately known if the four men who ICE arrested were among the 12. The men were not identified by name.
The arrests come amid ongoing protests across Minneapolis following the deadly shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. An ICE agent shot and killed Good during a federal immigration enforcement raid on January 7.
The agent, who has been identified as Jonathan Ross, fired his gun after Good allegedly tried to ram him and other officers with her SUV. Ross reportedly suffered internal bleeding when he was hit by her vehicle.
DHS said a separate incident happened a week later when a federal officer shot an illegal immigrant in the leg because he was attacked with a shovel or broom while he was trying to make an arrest.
The shootings sparked protests and political debate during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Minneapolis and St. Paul, which DHS described as the agency's largest enforcement operation, as it has resulting in more than 2,500 arrests so far.
