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.

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.

That would be great. 👍🏻
There are far too many harmful invaders in America and Europe, who contribute nothing and are a drag upon our respective countries.
😂😂😂
About 10 to 15 years ago, NGOs including Lutheran and Catholic Social Services were heavily involved in relocating immigrants. Many Somails were relocated to St. Cloud. It was a blatant attempt, in my opinion, to alter the voting demographics in a reliably solid red area of the state.
There are many good people in this area and I know it pretty well. Everything democrats touch turns to dung.
Yep...they are SOLDIERS in a war we are NOT fighting to win...yet
Water cannons are not going to be used, because of their “bad optics”. The old images from Birmingham & other civil rights protests will be put up so fast your head will spin.
“They’re invaders”
They’re a fungus”
Nothing a couple Ma Deuces can’t fix.
ARREST ALL OF THESE FOREIGN INVADER ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS. SEIZE ALL OF THEIR ASSETS AND DEPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY. THESE UNLAWFUL LOSERS NEED TO EXPERIENCE “FIND OUT”.
That was part of Barry’s plan to fundamentally transform America.
I think maybe nowadays in this situation fed up people would appreciate those kind of optics. Especially if they emphasize the non-lethal aspect and not use quite full pressure. More of a drenching effect.
That's the plan all over the country. Devious.
I first learned of it, not from one of my political books, but from a woman in a small town in Georgia calling in to a late night conservative talk show. She said bus after bus of new foreign born arrivals arrived always at night and turned out to be illegals she heard were registering to vote along with benefits. She said "How could all of them possibly have relatives to reunite with in these parts of Georgia where everyone is a Baptist or Methodist as far as the eye can see? This is a plan by the Left." She was proven exactly right.
Worked great at Kent State...
Yes and deport them.👌
I was 5 miles from there when it happened.
L
It’s hard to hate these people enough.
I am trying.
I don’t think it will go as well as their last confederacy.
Water cannons.
“Yep...they are SOLDIERS in a war we are NOT fighting to win...yet”
the instant ‘we’ start fighting they will immediately transform themselves to become ‘the american people!’, victimized by genocidal white supremacist nazi’s.. It will be a miracle of linguistic gaslighting.
