Minneapolis is witnessing unprecedented chaos as streets turn into a battle zone following the latest ICE enforcement operations. Residents report clashes between federal agents and the local community, with live updates showing protests, barricades, and multiple law enforcement responses. This comes just days after the controversial shooting of Renee Nicole Good, which sparked nationwide outrage.
The situation escalated quickly as federal agents engaged in high-tension operations, leading to confrontations that left residents and bystanders in shock. Authorities are calling for calm, while community leaders demand transparency and accountability. The city now faces questions about public safety, federal jurisdiction, and use-of-force policies.

They are paid protestors and are marxist deconstructors. Their goal is to overthrow and destroy this country. By any means necessary. Fighting for illegals to overload various social systems is just one angle of attack.

they are pushing this story and winning: Even Joe Rogan is questioning if ICE is too aggressive. And of course all the foreign news is pushing the democratic spin.
Lies of course. But this is not about truth but the propaganda war.
My granddaughter is due to visit the US on a visitor visa (she is Filipino) and is afraid to go to Minneapolis and all her international friends who have jobs there carry their passports and are afraid.

“Authorities are calling for calm, while community leaders demand transparency and accountability. “
CNN speaks a foreign langage that need translation.
-authorities: crooked politicians
-calling for calm: inciting insurrection
-community leaders: professional activists
-transparency: kangooroo court
-accountability: no accountability for them

The Minneapolis Left does not want ICE to take out their drug gangs, drug runners and drug dealers. They bring too much money to the Drug Cartels and the pockets they line.

There is no way that this is “live video”.
There are camera jumps to different views from different locations.
