Sounds like the protest has dispersed for the night.
From what I saw on streams the protest tonight in Minneapolis was very peaceful with protesters occasionally enganging in civil disobeiance by being loud in hotel lobby's.
Not that protests need to be any of those things to be valid forms of struggle against oppression.
From witness statements on the streams it appears that both state and local cops were on tap to put down the protests and took active steps to encourage the crowd to disperse.
I'm not sure why dispersal was so important. I totally get keeping the crowds out of hotel lobbies but I really think if the Mayor and Governor meant what they say they should not be attempting to disperse a simple noise demo. Even if it goes late.
In fact they should make a point to NOT protect ICE at all anymore.
The situation is clearly already out of control with respect to ICE being told by every level of local governement to leave Senator Amy Klobuchar has joined the chorus as well.
Listen carefully and you'll see that Klobuchar, just like Mayor Frey and Governor Walz is keeping an eye on the tactical situation.
They ALL are aware that their local cops are already out numbered and out gunned by ICE.
They are talking about literal battle when they talk like this.
The crisis facing the US is extremely serious.
A DC cop, Michael Fanone, who was nearly killed at the US Capitol on January 6th says that a couple "F" bombs and foul language from the Mayor and Governor are NOT enough to stop what's coming. Fanone retired from the force after Jan 6 bc he refused to serve with fascists sympathizers.
He predicts that Americans will have to begin excersizing their 2A rights bc strong words are not enough to stop ICE.
Many people might hear J6 cop Fanone's encouragement for folks to embrace their 2A rights and think he's talking about some Rambo shit I really don't think that's what he's talking about.
In this clip a few ICE agents enter a McDs that has a couple armed security.
The gaurds proactively tell ICE to leave.
Throughout the encounter ICE NEVER touches them, speaks in a whisper AND left empty handed.
Unarmed guards would have been cursed at, beat and arrested along with the migrants.
So when noise demos get's dispersed under threat of force from the F bomb dropping Mayor it makes me REALLY question which form of protest would be more effective at actually denting ICE's abduction numbers?
A couple noise demos? Mountains of broken bones, bruises and trauma from tailing ICE around?
Or just passing a lot of laws that make it easier for targeted communities to obtain firearms and CCW licenses and making stand your ground legal against illegal ICE raids

I know the Mayor and Governor would probably say that they HAD to put down the protests bc otherwise these poor hotels, stuck between a rock and a hard place, would have to suffer the direct economic consequences of their windows being vandilaized all the time and local property values dropping from constant protests.
And I'm just like.... THATs actually the Free Market at work.
They need to get the fuck out the way and let these companies face consequences.
There's only worse options.
If we can't even for ONE NIGHT ensure that ICE has an impossible time sleeping and that letting them stay LITERALLY means economic ruin for EVERYONE involved then noise demos simply won't be allowed to even attempt to work.
These stats are staggering. The abductions are basically continuing unabated.
EVERY level of our government's systems are being weaponized to find soft targets to abduct when they are most isolated and we're not able to respond in time.
So anyways, ICE/CBP is playing in everyone's face in light of the threat to deploy National Gaurds against them.
The day after Walz made the threat to call the NG the commander of CBP Gregory Bovino staged a photo op at the Minnesota State Capitol which the right wing has been joking he'll soon be in command of.
I've never in my life seen this type of blatant disregard for the political norms of the US.
This is what Bovino did to mourn Renee Good's death.
"Haven't you learned?"
The ICE goon asked of two women observering him harass someone.
In a viral video from yesterday two women in Minneapolis who were observing ICE/CBP operations from their vehicle had their phone snatched from them. The CBP cop used intimidating references to Renee Good's murder this week alluding to the fact he hoped to find an excuse to shoot them.

There's ALSO a viral videos suggesting that the women were disappeared by ICE.
Thankfully this is NOT true both are home safe today according to the original poster's updates this morning. Mirrored below.
Jeeeze, ICE continues to do everything in their power to inflame the situation to the highest degree.
Posting white supremacist song references just fash all the way down over there.
Attached: 1 image Fun fact: this is the title of a white nationalist song. It’s the same one the Proud Boys were singing in that clip that got Jonathan Choe fired from KOMO. That’s how far the Overton Window has moved in a few years
Mayor Jacob Frey spoke today about the shifting landscape of ICE+CBP's aimless illinformed hunt for "illegals".
Frey describes ICE initially showing up hoping to snatch Somalian-Americans but quickly discovered the vast majority are actually US citizens.
Finding it hard to deport Somalian's Frey says the feds then turned to harassing the Hispanic community.
Video from St. Cloud Minnesota show's a couple ICE agents attempting to grab a Somali American, emphasis on attempt, and having a hundred community members IMMEDIATLY surround these shitty federal cops.
These pigs were obviously massively outnumbered and run off with their tails between their legs.

2014.
Check the date.
"US Border Agents Intentionally Stepped in Front of Moving Vehicles to Justify Shooting at Them"
Making good on JD Vance's threats, ICE is now going door to door.
Of course they don't have warrants, or ANY legal reason to be busting down these doors.
Why would they need that?
The paper the federal cops presented was NOT signed by a judge and so it was not in any way legal for them to bust down this door with armed men.
This was a flagrant violation of the US Constition.
Meanwhile, TikTok has been hot on the case of doxxing the shit out of murderous cop Jonathan Ross and dragging his personal life filth (as the tiktok'ers do).
But as I've said from the start, this was all typical American cop work.
Turns out, Ross was a 10yr veteran federal officer and was responsible for TRAINING many other immigration & customs cops.
As this tiktok says, "Ross wasn't a failure of the system, he was the system"
Basically within an hour or two of Jonathan Ross's name getting out bc of Kristi Noem's dumb comment, I saw all of his PII leaked online.
Lately, rumour has it the feds had to whisk him away and cleared out his house.
Streamer "Robby Roadstreamer" whose frequently been seen at protests on the east coast heckling National Gaurdsmen, CBP and ICE agents alike was seen in Minneapolis this morning being violently arrested by federal cops.
This is the moment of protesting that demoralizes the shit out of cops.
On the one hand they get to be all tough and arrest this streamer for standing around.
On the other hand, he'll prolly be out tomorrow doing the same antics 😂
I've seen basically a never ending stream of videos of people just doing the mildest things to annoy these federal goons gaurding ICE into making "catch & release" arrests.
In one video an older guy just drives his car right into the fed building driveway, parks. Casually gets out to hold up a protest sign to an immediate volley of pepper balls and mace as cops run over to arrest him and beat back the cheering crowd.
Arrests like this waste DHS/ICE resources and lower cop moral.
Keep it up!
New video making the rounds today from Minnesota depicts an ICE agent falling on ice then entering a porta potty with a female kidnapping victim.
Today Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison announced the state's lawsuit against DHS to end the surge of federal cops into Minnesota.
He points out making arrests in the state's sensitve locations is illegal and a violation of State's rights:
- Courts
- Churches
- Schools
- Funeral Homes
The full length press conference is below 👇🏿

Mayor Jacob Frey spoke of the intentional political targeting of Minneapolis.
He points out the conservative states have FAR more illegal alieans. Meanwhile Minneapolis has HALF the national rate of undocumented residents.
Frey acknowdleged the flood of feds outnumbering local cops.
Lastly this is cost his city a TON economically. Millions of police overtime have already been spent.
The full text of Minnesota's lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security can be read below.
This suit was entered into US District court of Minnesota and if I'm reading the court calendar correctly they will be a motion hearing on Wednesday.
There's some VERY alarming instances of police violence directed against State's attorney who happened to witness an ICE arrest first hand.

https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Communications/2026/docs/00190_DHS_Complaint.pdf
Just finished reading most of the Minnesota v. DHS lawsuit and its just a massive constitutional violation wrapped in police violence and state's rights infringement.
Each offense more shocking than the last.
At the end of the day the AG of Minnesota is asking for very reasonable relief.
That the ICE/CBP surge END and that anytime ICE/CBP do have legit warrants they need to follow basic police procedures like respecting the constitution.
https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Communications/2026/docs/00190_DHS_Complaint.pdf
Another major story today are the internal communications leaked by ICE agents showing that while Kristi Neom and Bovinio are brash in public, internally they are struggling to maintain the moral needed to staff their surge operations.
This stuff is important because those agents who've been deploy are going to want a break from being called murders (probably in just another week or two).
And that means people need to ship in so they can ship out for time off.

#FuckICE
Only problem is they are already struggling to get more agents to op-in to this braindead mission now that they all know they will 100% be seen as murderers.
So now there's ICE cops turned leakers spelling this all out. The leakers say they are scared, afraid for their safety and affraid to follow the first wave of dumbasses who deployed to Minneapolis.
https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigration-agents-terrified-by-ice
So anyways, share these videos of ICE falling on their asses.
ICE on ICE violence is good for everyone.
As the 2020 Seattle protests proved statistically, constant protests, online mockery, the physically demanding labor of being a fascist pig and the constant never ending resistance really hurts their feelings.
At the federal facility in Minneapolis today protest has been non-stop. Its night time on a monday its forecasted to be 26 F and people are staying warm by screaming at ICE under the glow of fireworks.

There's also a umm... unmistakable air in the US right now that a SERIOUS line has been crossed.
Dude says he's not waiting for the ballot box, he urges his fellow Americans to show up armed to more ICE interactions. He says he's choosing the bullet box instead.
And so as I a bit of a student of history, US civil rights, bussing and just being Black in a America ummm I really think the average American is starting to sound a lot more revolutionary than they used to.
ICE has REALLY fucked up.
When I say the average American is pissed the fuck off at ICE I mean it.
You got content creators trying to make cuties content, buying all the wares from a Hispanic road side vendor somewhere in the US to hand out to passersby.
Instead of the adorable-core video he was going for, the poor sap came face to face with a car full of ICE agents on their way to abduct someone.
Kid risks his safety and freedom to curse those shitheads out.
This didn't used to be the sort of thing that would trend.
Yea, the TikTok chicks who used to binge day-in-the life videos until they needed their quarterly social media cleanse+international travel vlog tour, yea they are ALSO out here cursing out ICE agents and hyping up the other girlies to also curse out ICE agents.
These sorts of voices mirror a lot of the things I think a lot of Americans are thinking. To me I see a whole new generation of activists being born and trying to figure shit out.
How to get justice and accountability?
Because the vibes this week are pretty fucked.
We all know DHS/ICE/CBP/FBI/DOJ are all playing in our face. They have no intention to run a legit investigation into Renee Good's murder.
Today video was posted showing Good's car being transported down the highway without any sort of car cover or wrap to preserve evidence.
The window was clearly open and not sealed prompted many people to question if this is a sign of carelessness on the FBI's part?
The DOJ put it in black and white.
The Civil Rights Division, who has holistically had the job of investigating dirty cops after they murder someone, refused to take the case.
When long time prosecutors offered to fly out to investigate the crime scene they were TURNED AWAY.
The person in charge of the case is Harmeet Dhillon. She was Trump's 2020 campaign legal advisor while he claimed voter fraud. Now a head of Civil Rights @ DOJ
Important to note, many communities across the country are seeing a surge in ICE+CBP activity.
Notably new ICE tactics being talked about in West Virginia where ICE is working with local and state cops to setup at what look like DUI check points only to harass people about their status.
There's also rumors of ICE using toll booths in WVa to check plates to search for vulnerable people to target quite literally down the road.
#WV #WestVirginia #ICETactics #EastCoast #FuckICE #F12 #ACAB
In WA state I'm hearing rumours that ICE did some door-to-door knocking the past two days throughout the state.
Of course Portland is still also dealing with the recent attempted murder of two of their residents.
Today the Luis David Nino-Moncada who was shot alongside his wife by border patrol last week was charged for daring to survive.
Many many Americans are seeing and feeling this surge.
https://www.opb.org/article/2026/01/12/border-patrol-shooting-portland-charges/
So this is leading many former service members to say a lot of the same things.
ICE is proviking a reaction.
That reaction, could be so large no one and no army will be able to contain it,
This vet directly talks about how a conflict between the American people and ICE (and whoever else Trump sends in) would feel for ICE just like being in Afghanistan did.
An unwinnable war that harms all who dare to occupy ANY ordinary human populace.
And when you start to do the math its pretty staggering.
Minneapolis is currently afflicted by 3k (they're sending another 1k) rouge feds.
They only have 600 cops.
The populace is 400k Americans.
Gun ownership is estimated at 45% of Minneapolis households.
If even 1-5% of housholds decided to violently oppose ICE with force, they would outnumber ICE on day one.
I can see why the vet above says ICE will loose if Americans stop being peaceful.
I for one hope that the politicians and lawsuits can sort things out.
But the clock is now ticking and this all rides on a pretty heavily armed country of people voluntarily remaining peaceful in the face of massive, inescapable provocations.
