There have been multiple recent reports of federal immigration agents clashing with violent anti-deportation protests in Minnesota amid ICE’s ongoing enforcement surge in the state. Federal agents fatally shot protesters Renee Good on Jan. 7and Alex Pretti on Saturday during scuffles in Minneapolis.
On Friday, activists reportedly held a “sit-in” at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport to protest deportation flights occurring amid ICE’s crackdown.
