Border Patrol’s “BORTAC” tactical unit were documented questioning a teenager in Minneapolis Monday afternoon, ultimately putting him into their unmarked vehicle adorned with a rainbow heart sticker on the side.
Minneapolis schools are currently allowing remote learning as an option due to the federal agent surge in the city.
Dozens of ICE agents found themselves surrounded by angry Minneapolis residents chanting “shame!” at them Monday afternoon, only minutes after detaining the teen, but apparently resulting from a separate raid.
“Get back!” shouted agents as they threw tear gas, pepper sprayed, and sting balled the growing crowd.
“Get on the sidewalk!” demanded agents, pushing people back and deploying more pepper spray and tear gas as some returned to their cars.
Activists blew whistles, a constant warning that immigration enforcement is nearby.
Some threw snowballs and water bottles at the federal agents as they fled in vehicles while throwing tear gas canisters back at the crowd.
The crowd cheered and chanted “Whose streets? Our streets!” as the agents left, while some poured water in the eyes of those hurt.
Agents were followed by activists and journalists throughout Minneapolis, apparently to their frustration.
At one busy intersection, federal agents apparently got out of their car, threw tear gas back at those following them, and then got in their cars and continued driving.
