Demonstrators clashed with cops outside the federal Whipple Building in Downtown Minneapolis during protests early Thursday morning, hours after a deadly ICE-involved shooting in the city.
Police deployed pepper spray and armed agents pushed the protesters back from the federal building.
Demonstrators were heard chanting the name of Renee Good, the 37-year-old who was killed Wednesday, and holding up anti-ICE signs.
At least one protester was pictured being held down by agents, although the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said they had not made any arrests as of 8 a.m. local time.
Protesters had gathered from about 7 a.m. to protest the shooting of Good, which took place less than a mile from where George Floyd died at the hands of a white police officer in May 2020, sparking nationwide demonstrations, some of which turned violent and destructive.
