Pro- and anti-ICE demonstrators face off during Minneapolis immigration crackdown
Protesters for and against the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown clashed in Minneapolis, in exchanges that grew heated before local police showed up. There have been protests every day since the Department of Homeland Security ramped up immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul by bringing in more than 2,000 federal officers. A large group of protesters turned out in downtown Minneapolis on Saturday and confronted a much smaller group of people demonstrating in support of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They chased the pro-ICE group away and even forced one member to take off a shirt they deemed objectionable. The organizer of the pro-ICE demonstration also appeared to be injured as he left the scene.
