Photos have emerged showing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents drawing their weapons at agitators in Minneapolis who allegedly were trying to obstruct their operations.
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital in a statement that ICE officers were in Minneapolis on Tuesday "conducting a targeted enforcement operation to arrest an Ecuadorian criminal illegal alien previously charged with assault."
"Two agitator vehicles began stalking our officers and attempted to obstruct ICE operations — a felony and a federal crime — by blocking one of the ICE vehicles by closing a gate. Officers reopened the gate and exited the area while agitators attempted to close the gate in an effort to obstruct their operations," she continued. "The agitators then followed the officers as they departed and made hand motions suggestive of possessing a firearm."
"Obstructing federal law enforcement is not only dangerous but also a crime and a felony," McLaughlin also said. "Because of this obstruction, this criminal illegal alien is at large."

Good grief.....sometimes fox is as bad as the rest of 'em.....SMH

Looks like some antifa AI to me.
They aren’t old fashioned British Bobbies armed with nothing more than a whistle. This is America. Law Enforcement carries guns. Deal with it.
Flash message to Fox: That yellow “gun” is a tazer. Try to get it right instead of being a puppet for the left.
“a felony and a federal crime — If they broke the law, why weren’t they arrested? Getting away with it is why they keep breaking the law.
What makes you think they weren’t arrested?
Article does not mention if any of these criminals were arrested and charged. That’s essential to stopping this nonsense.
Looks like a black female agent…. This racism thing is not working out for ICE 😂
Often FNC is as bad the rest them. They have plenty of TDS a-holes there, Paul Ryan is their leader.
“If they broke the law, why weren’t they arrested? Getting away with it is why they keep breaking the law.”

There you have it, and this epitomizes a much larger problem (i.e., lack of accountability in the country as a whole).
Yeah
From the videos and things Im seeing Im surprised at the number of black agents they are making it seem like there are.
These arent media accounts so its not some kind of black identity politics or some kind of affirmative action attempt.
I wonder what the ratio actually is?
Just showing the moron what end of the gun to kiss before he makes the wrong decision.
Obstruction is a physical act ... and they committed it. Arrest them, charge them, offer no plea agreement. Make them defend themselves at trial.
Well said.
“Because of this obstruction, this criminal illegal alien is at large.”
Nope. It’s because ICE let them obstruct. ICE can be way more affirmative than they usually are.
Those leftist biased federal judges who ruled ICE agents cannot use tear gas and rubber bullets took away the things standing between law breaking leftists and law enforcement.
On to the next phase.
