Minnesota anti-ICE agitators swarm, confront federal agents during enforcement operations
2026-01-14
[FoxNews] Agitators gave been attempting to disrupt immigration enforcement amid a surge in federal agents to the Twin Cities

Anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators were seen surging and confronting federal agents during immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis on Tuesday, as tensions continue to rise in the Twin Cities following the death of Renee Nicole Good last week.

Video from the hectic scene shows dozens of agitators stepping into the path of immigration agents’ vehicles, positioning themselves near and in front of them as officers attempted to push through the crowd.

Agents could be seen deploying tear gas and pepper spray in an effort to disperse the crowd and carve out an exit route.

As the scene unfolded, agitators could be heard chanting anti-fascist slogans, shouting profanities, blowing whistles and honking vehicle horns in what appeared to be an attempt to disrupt the operation and drown out commands from law enforcement.

"Day in and day out we will fight the fascists," one young man could be heard shouting while recording the scene on his cellphone.

"This is Minneapolis, and we will not lose," he added.

Others could be heard encouraging others over bullhorns and congratulating each other for disrupting law enforcement.

In one instance, a man was seen standing in the middle of the road with his hands in the air, verbally taunting agents to "do it now if you’re going to do it." He was later seen wiping pepper spray from his face with water.

In a separate local incident, agitators attempted to interfere with federal agents as they sought to arrest at least one suspect, closing in on the operation and forcing agents to work within a tight crowd. Agitators there too shouted obscenities at agents, blew whistles and honked vehicle horns.

On Monday night, federal agents fired tear gas and rubber bullets after agitators hurled fireworks at them outside a federal building in the city.

The Department of Homeland Security said that more than 2,000 arrests have been made in Minnesota since December as part of what ICE has described as its largest enforcement operation in the state.

ICE officials on Saturday released a shocking list of the "worst of the worst" criminal illegal immigrants arrested during their recent surge. ICE officials said those arrested during the surge included convicted murderers, child rapists, pedophiles, domestic abusers and other violent offenders.

The unrest comes as Minnesota, joined by the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to halt or limit a surge of federal immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities.

Anti-ICE agitators burn American flag outside California federal building

[FoxNews] One agitator was permanently blinded in his left eye by crowd control munitions, his family says

Multiple people were injured in a confrontation between anti-ICE agitators and law enforcement outside a federal building in California on Tuesday.

The agitators could be seen burning an American flag and shouting expletives through a megaphone as they protested the death of Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota. One person who rushed toward officers as they sought to detain another person was struck in the eye with a crowd-control weapon, and the Department of Homeland Security says two officers were injured.

The main confrontation occurred after most of the demonstrators had left the federal building. A smaller crowd, organized by the group Dare to Struggle, remained and confronted several agents in riot-control gear.

At one point, footage shows officials forcefully move a demonstrator back down onto the steps of the building, and the group continues to chant as the agents appear to urge them to move back. Later, an orange cone can be seen rolling up onto the plaza, and officers begin firing munitions as they walk toward the crowd.

The agitator holding the megaphone has since been identified by family as 21-year-old Kaden Rummler. He was struck in the eye by munitions as the agents tried to disperse the crowd.

Rummler could be seen collapsing to the ground before being grabbed by agents and dragged into the federal building, where he was ultimately arrested.

Rummler's aunt, Jeri Rees, says he was blinded in his left eye and spent six hours of surgery after the incident as doctors sought to remove fragments of the projectile.

Rees said Rummler was released from the hospital Tuesday while doctors work to determine what the fragments are made of to assess whether additional procedures are needed to remove them. She said he was hit in the left eye and suffered skull fractures.

"He's completely blind" in the left eye, she said. "There’s a hole in his eyeball."
Next time stay away from a black Bloc “protest.” Better yet, he should consider hunkering down in his mother’s basement and writing strongly worded letters to the editor of the local newspaper, carbon copying the New York Times and the Washington Post.
