01a Apocalyptic

Thousands of anti-ICE demonstrators gathered around the scene of an ICE-involved shooting in South Minneapolis, which left a 37-year-old woman dead after she attempted to run down a federal agent with her vehicle on Wednesday morning.

Shortly after the incident took place at the corner of Portland and 34th Street, a sizable contingent of leftist rioters proceeded to pelt federal agents with projectiles and blunt objects as they attempted to evacuate the scene. Agents deployed less-than-lethal crowd control measures while exiting, leaving the scene in the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department.

Not long after 2 p.m. local time, police fled after they came under assault by rioters hurling snowballs and other projectiles. A mob then proceeded to advance up 34th Street, impeding traffic and harassing drivers.

A number of rioters also stormed the Diana E. Murphy United States Courthouse at 300 South Fourth Street, the main federal court facility in the city. Rioters smashed bulletproof glass out front of the building, while a woman who identified herself as a “lawyer” told the crowd to line up outside the doors in order to trap everyone inside.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz openly urged Americans to take to the streets, telling crowds in Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, and beyond to “stand with us” against federal enforcement. Instead of calling for calm or ordering an end to the obstruction and assault of federal officers, he encouraged mass protest against the Trump administration—while Minneapolis leaders told ICE to “get the f*ck out” and Democrat candidates urged people to put their “bodies on the line.” This is not de-escalation. It is mobilization.

What is unfolding is not protest—it is organized insurrection. Large networks of leftist extremists and self-described communists coordinated all-day harassment of ICE agents, following them, blockading roads, filming confrontations, and provoking encounters. Video shows agents being stalked for hours. One rioter blockaded the road while others filmed. Four vehicle-ramming incidents occurred in a single day.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—One of the largest hotel chains in the United States is purportedly refusing service to immigration agents amid a growing crackdown in the Minneapolis region.

A hotel associated with Hilton Hotels & Resorts is explicitly refusing service to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents attempting to book reservations in Minneapolis, according to a company email released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The apparent anti-ICE policy follows increased federal law enforcement activity in the city, which is reeling from immigrant-related fraud.

“We have noticed an influx of GOV reservations made today that have been for DHS, and we are not allowing any ICE or immigration agents to stay at our property,” a Hilton email stated to an unidentified DHS employee. “If you are with DHS or immigration, let us know as we will have to cancel your reservation.”

Hilton allegedly followed up on this email with another message roughly two hours later:

Explosive new details have emerged surrounding the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis, revealing that anti-ICE activists were actively training locals on how to obstruct federal immigration agents just days before the confrontation turned deadly.

According to screenshots shared by journalist Julie Kelly, a Minnesota chapter of the activist network “ICE Watch” held a virtual training session on Monday.

The training session was only two days before Good was shot dead by an ICE agent in south Minneapolis.
