Hundreds of Somalis stormed an ICE operation in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on Monday after a Somali news station live streamed the raid.
ICE agents were surrounded by hundreds of Somalis blowing whistles and protesting as the officers conducted a raid on a Somali-owned business in a strip mall.
“ICE out! ICE out!” the mob of Somali protestors shouted.
Ice agents deployed tear gas to disperse the protestors after they blocked their vehicles from exiting the parking lot.
Democrat State Senator Aric Putnam was spotted amid the chaos trying to act like a barrier between the protestors and federal agents.
“Don’t even get close,” Putnam says as he pushes back on the protestors.
“It’s a stressful moment, a really intense confrontation. It’s a reasonable response when you see this in your neighborhood,” Democrat State Senator Aric Putnam said.
“The idea that you need 50 people with weapons and tear gas, and I’m not speaking real well because I got a little bit of pepper spray, those things are not needed for a normal, regular, authentic, genuine law enforcement operation,” Putnam whined.
According to CBS News, at least two people were arrested during the protest.
“Federal agents arrested one person as part of the raid, and later, two protesters in the parking lot. Many of the businesses there are run by the Somali community,” CBS reported.
WATCH:
Two days ago, Somalis and other protestors shouted at ICE agents in the same St. Cloud strip mall.
The agents left and returned on Monday.

They always have been.
LOL!
Water cannons in the cold to end it
“ICE OUT!” they yell. And then block their vehicles. Makes PERFECT sense. *EYEROLL*
They are paving the way for the new Confederacy. They almost did it literally with officer Ross and Good's car.
The Fed leaders are morons. Just ONCE, the big crowd surrounding them should find themselves inside a huge perimeter of National Guard soldiers.
The kettle technique could arrest all of the unlawful assembly people. Immediately fly them out of state via C-130 for charges and deportation if they are a green card foreigner or illegal.
Growing up in Minnesota, “Ice Out” had an entirely different meaning. And if you were lucky you could win the pot at the local bar on the lake.

ICE needs an equipment upgrade!

Deputize the public.
PLEASE.
I’d LOVE to be on that line backing up ICE.
like it!
Somolisota.
My home state.
Can live there anymore. Chithole of babykilling democrat fecktards.
I would rather if they shot them all, but that probably wouldn’t go over well.
Charter a 747 and fly them out!
Add up all the money Minnesota took from the federal government, divide it by the number of citizens and send them a bill for their theft.
Then send a separate bill to cover the costs of having to send ICE agents to their hellhole.
ARREST THEM ALL!!!!!! ICE has been WAY TOO NICE to these ILLEGAL THUGS!
SOMALIS ARE LAND PIRATES!!
LOL!!

They seemed to have needed them when raiding Mar A Lago…
There are THOUSANDS of these FOURTH WORLD people in Minnesota, ROBBING US BLIND!
Maybe Trump can assign some of those badass ATF agents to provide security for ICE.
