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.

The Somalis are the ones we taught how to plant ,irrigate and cultivate their land. We gave them tons of seeds ,guess what, they ate the seeds. These people are human cockroaches . Arrest them all and ship everyone back.
They’re not “protesters”.
They’re RIOTERS.

They’re Activated Insurgent Cells

Per the article: those things are not needed for a normal, regular, authentic, genuine law enforcement operation,” Putnam whined.
Well, sir, this is not even close to a normal, regular, authentic law enforcement operation... Time for you to pull your head out of your arse and realize the Nation is fighting for its life.
Water cannons with some bright green or yellow indelible dye in it, so you can easily pick them up later for deportation.
Rioters now but in the not to distant future they WILL be enemy combatants and already in-country. Thank your local Demorats and liberal repukelicans for setting up these United States of America for this “mostly peaceful” invasion and remember...it’s YOUR OWN FAULT AMERICA. because we are stupid enough to keep voting for politicians who screw us every single day and we LET them.
Surround them. Take them all into custody and immediately deport all of them.
I hope that truck has a compactor.
Why did the USA take any of these corrupt primitive outer-world savages? With their triangle shaped heads and voodoo sunken eye sockets (typical democrat), get them out of Minnesota, out of the USA, out of planet earth.
Does this idiot not realize his own words? YES. A thousand times YES that you do not need FIFTY people with weapons and tear gas for NORMAL GENUINE LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS!
Because of the leftist state that you live in where the Governor, chief law enforcement officer and city Mayor are aiding and abetting this anarchist movement you have to have fifty officers to apprehend these people with active warrants on them.
We need to think outside the box on these operations. There absolutely needs to be a paradigm shift in dealing with these Karens and these others that are emboldened to interfere with law enforcement operations.
You can place a large amount of the blame on Chief Justice Roberts and five other Supreme Court justices, who limited the use of Federalized National Guard units in states where local law enforcement will not provide assistance. The resources of the Federal police agencies are finite and when the resistance is massive, military support is necessary.
“ICE out! ICE out!”
Somalis OUT!
Just wondering - do they have a lot of interracial marriages?
ICE needs to cast some Spiderman nets to capture (and deport, as possible) all these protestors.
Send them back. They should never be able to come back.
A neighborhood of rioting illegal Somali fraudsters is his neighborhood? Sounds like he is part of the conspiracy to me.
That’s some third world shit right there. Good luck St. Cloud, MN.
>> Deputize the public...I’d LOVE to be on that line backing up ICE.
Ditto. A photography squad to film the lowlifes from ICE’s perspective, backed up by HEAVILY ARMED escorts with proper rules of engagement, would be tres cool...
There must be some non-lethal but very painful projectiles available, like MOAP (Mother Of All Pepperballs) for instance. It blinded you you say? We’re sorry. You should have stayed home.
