In a video taken by Sahan Journal, the woman can be seen arguing with agents prior to being grabbed by multiple agents and carried to agents vehicle. The woman can be heard shouting that she is disabled and on her way to a doctors appointment that ICE was obstructing. Prior to the detention agents had instructed her to drive away.
Shortly after, another observer on site was tackled and forcibly put in agents vehicle as well. According to state Rep. Aisha Gomez, DFL-Minneapolis, who was present at the scene, agents pushed the mans head into the concrete prior to carrying him away. Gomez also said that agents were physical with her as well.
These officers have obviously not had the basic law enforcement training, Gomez said. I was shoved with no verbal communication whatsoever.
Andy Larson, a south Minneapolis resident who was out observing ICE activity Tuesday, told Sahan Journal that one protester kicked out the taillight of an ICE vehicle and was tackled to the ground up the road on Park Avenue and E. 36th Street.
I BELIEVE THIS WAS MR PRETTI.
It was a really good kick, Larson said.
Federal immigration agents detained three people and deployed chemical agents at multiple locations around E. 34th Street and Park Avenue in Minneapolis Powderhorn neighborhood Tuesday morning. At least two were observers and not the target of immigration enforcement operations.
Around 9:40 a.m., community response networks began sending alerts about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) door-knocking at E. 34th Street and Park Avenue. By 10 a.m., a crowd of over 100 observers had gathered, confronting agents at multiple intersections.
Among the detainees was a woman who was forcibly removed from her vehicle after agents smashed her passenger-side window.
