An intense cat-and-mouse game is putting enraged residents face to face with heavily armed federal agents.
Jan. 17, 2026
Fear and fury can explode on any street corner during this charged time in Minneapolis, any time, any place the muscle of the federal government meets the rage of the citizens who reject its tactics.
Thousands of people attended a march last Saturday to mourn Renee Good, the woman an ICE agent had shot and killed days earlier. There have been school walkouts, daily protests outside the federal building where agents take detainees, four-person protests on frigid street corners and an hourslong demonstration after an ICE agent shot a man in the leg while attempting to detain him on Wednesday night.
If ICE agents are running red lights, speeding and just generally driving dangerously then the local police and state troopers need to be pulling them over and issuing tickets.
“Our heavily armed convoy is being followed by people with whistles” isn’t a reason to break traffic laws.
