ICE agents continued immigration operations Wednesday in residential neighborhoods of Minneapolis as White House immigration czar Tom Homan announced that hundreds of agents would be leaving the city.
Agents surrounded a home, speaking to people inside through the window but not being let inside as protesters honked and whistled.
“Get back, you act like cockroaches,” a federal agent with a rifle told press before grabbing mace from his car.
“No, you’re the cockroach, get out of our city!” a protester yelled.
The agent prepped an apparent flash grenade before joining other agents in leaving the scene.
Earlier, a woman yelled “get the f*** out of here!” at ICE agents driving by, who got out of their car and told her and press to get back.
“I don’t know what you are” an agent said.
Later in Northside Minneapolis, protesters on foot and in vehicles surrounded a Jeep with two federal agents sitting in it.
“Leave!” they demanded, while blowing whistles and honking. “Get the f*** out of here dude!”
“Go away!”
The agents ultimately drove away.
At one point, while media recorded ICE agents on the move in vehicles, they attempted the mild evasive maneuver of false signaling, but smiled and laughed as they drove past the press car.
