As the aftermath of yet another ICE shooting was playing out on the north of Minneapolis, back near the airport at the Whipple Federal Building feds were quick to push back the peaceful crowd of protesters that has been there almost continuously since the shooting death of Renee Good.

Again, I was not OTG nor in MPLS so I'm piecing this together from online sources.
From a few accounts at somepoint ICE left the neighborhood partially on foot. It kinda sounds like the essentially fought their way out are attacked the crowd to create a hole or distraction to retreat.
What I can tell for sure is that after a crowd formed (largely displaced neighbors) and ICE watcher arrived ICE got scared and went rambo.
Average people started showing up to the scene as the news spread through the neighborhood and city.
This entier interview feels like it could have been lifted right out of a 2020 time capsule.
Reporter ZDRoberts interviews a man who says this is his first time ever showing up to a protest.
He describes being at home and seeing this news and realizing he needed to show up for his community.

ICE actually at several times was overwhelmed by the crowd and you can see ICE and local cops retreating from various positions they took up after the shooting.

BORTAC units were scene attempting to do crowd control wearing night vision goggles and caring battle rifles.
As usual, civilians do NOT like cops dressed like an army.
They too were forced to retreat.
Neighbors who were forced out of their homes by ICE report being first told to evacuate.
But once they got in their car with their SIX children ICE turned their guns on the father and shouted confliting ordrs.
Ultimately ICE threw flashbangs and teargas INSIDE of the family's car whom they had just forced to evacuate.

Again, this video feels like a 2020 documentary.
The father explains that teargas was coming into their home which is why they HAD to evacuate.
Things like this, teargassing civilians who were not attending any protest but instead were literally in their home, likely asleep at the time is a 4th amendment violation.
